Featured review
It bodes well for the season finale
Random thoughts after episode 8.17:
1- Aram is the only one in the TF who understand the situation. He said exactly what some of us have been writing for weeks. Do they seriously think that a person who allowed them to stop 150 criminals (on American soil and/or potential threats to the United States) could be a traitor to the US?! Even if he was trafficking Russian intels, who cares?
2- Park got a well deserved earful but it was also destined to Cooper and Ressler. Sorry to say this but the TF, apart from Aram, is made up of incompetent people at all levels.
3- Elizabeth is clearly wrong, she was wrong to judge the situation from the beginning. We'll see what she does from now on but it goes without saying that in this season she has only done damage.
4- Priya Laghari is a fantastic character, congratulations to Rana Roy. She has a remarkable charisma and stage presence.
5- If Townsend repeats one more time that his wife and children have been killed, I enter the monitor to silence him forever because I can't take it anymore. We are neither fools nor deaf.
6- More than answers we got new questions but I would say that we fans tend to complicate the plot even more than it actually is.
7- With episodes like these the writers try to keep alive all the theories dear to the fans (Redarina, Daddygate, Lizzington). I really hope this season ends with some answers because I'm really tired of all these misleading clues.
8- Given how the season was handled, I no longer believe that Boone was missing for plot reasons. I believe the whole story about Anne was added later, probably as a filler. Characters act as if 8.13 and 8.14 never existed. The madness that seemed to pervade Liz has disappeared as it arrived, no one refers to the bloody events that took place in Kansas, Red has quietly overcome the death of his beloved and treats Liz as he would have done before 8.13.
It makes me smile to imagine that the showrunners didn't foresee the success of the story with Anne. That a subplot would have led to one of the best episodes of the whole series.
Having said all this, 8.17 is a good episode, finally it is collective, there is action, pieces are added to the mythology and there are some outspoken dialogues. I can't wait for Liz to get her personal earful but there is still time (and she has time to do more damage).
