The drama of a kidnapping mixed with the family drama and the interesting math relations to life make this a much better episode than the reviews indicate. And Neil Patrick Harris wasn't a detractor for me as he was for some. I knew he looked familiar but didn't even click on who he was until reading the reviews.

What?

What's with the Neil Patrick Harris criticism. I thought he played his character just fine. Is it that the actor is gay? If that's a criticism, I don't have any interest in your opinion. I thought the use of the algorithms was well constructed and the effort to get the little girl back valid. I am often at a loss when it comes to the vastness of mathematics (as I am sure a huge majority of fans of this show were), but it has to do with the human element and the intricate solutions. Not a great show, but a very good one.
Neil Patrick Harris is just wonderful!!!

This show is wonderful and dramatic. Having watched this and other shows (like Burn Notice, NCIS and its spinoffs, Rizzoli & Isles, etc.) I know that they are exactly what they are, just shows, nothing more. They aren't supposed to reflect real life or be factually accurate, they are meant to entertain us, the viewer (and of course make money for the networks and producers and creators). Nothing more, just entertain us, provide us with about 42 minutes of escape from reality. I call it escapism art (watching TV, seeing a movie, reading a book). Another reviewer is so very, very negative and, it appears to me IMO, homophobic (just like another reviewer implied). I know, I could just not read their comments (just like they could stop watching the shows they continually disparage) but it gives me a small amount of satisfaction to click on the thumbs down button for all of their reviews.
