My My Seems like just yesterday I was doing individual episodes of POI and lamenting the shift to what I called the TBAA ("Touched by an Angel") format, where every week the crew dutifully moved to save some hapless soul, whether deserved or not.
The worst example of this was the "gambler" episode, dutifully reviewed by yours truly. A POI episode that shall live in infamy.
Truth is, over the years, JJ and company have shown themselves to be nothing if not flexible.
These final two episodes to close season 4 are an entirely different shade of dark -- torture, killing, maiming, overall almost unrecognizable from the earlier seasons.
So, this is the stage of the review where, if you have been paying close attention, I lament the change and wish for the old days...??? Nope, not going to happen. In this case, dark works well with the show and suggests great promise for the 5th season.
