finally, an episode worth watching. only took nine weeks. nicely done zack. i was beginning to
wonder if you really were a whedon. your character will was developing a case of blue balls. still
waters run deep huh? there is a new element of tension and release, lol.

okay, i'm intrigued. why? because the characters are multidimensional. the good guys have weaknesses
in character and the bad guys aren't always bad to the bone. who is doing what is obscure. the
protagonist grew a set and is fighting back and not apologizing for his actions. why should he? what
kind of spook organization spends more time investigating its own employees than it does on its
missions? i guess that's what makes it interesting, because we wouldn't normally expect that much
attention paid to employees who were vetted before entry. and why are the illuminati killing
themselves? will's seduction was hot. one of the hottest in memory, probably because sex was the
elephant in the room while many other things were transpiring. adding to this, will has now exposed
himself to compromise, and to caring about someone other than himself. cannot wait for epi ten.

i thoroughly agree, this is definately a series worth watching!

i'd love to see it on the show list. how can that happen? is there a criteria that the tv shows have
to meet or is it simply that it's just been overlooked.

no idea. same deal with the glades.

just had to mention kudos to the director for the scene where the neighbor/girl drops will's gun on
the finished crossword before leading him off to never never land. portents of things to come?

⚠ SPOILER ALERT - (Click to reveal)

went back and watched all nine episodes again. simply knowing everyone's name this time
around and
how they related made a huge difference. all the characters make sense now. the act of willing the
townhouse to kathleen rhumor is the one remaining piece that doesn't fit, although it does cause a
lot of anxiety for kathleen and create viewer interest for us. why bring it to the wife's attention
in the first place by making the townhouse a part of his personal estate? why wasn't it buried
within the assets of a corporation? maybe i could see it if tom rhumor had anticipated his own
murder, but he willingly killed himself so why risk exposing the husband's secret life to her now?
does it serve a purpose? putting the wife in jeopardy isn't the smartest move. okay, maybe he wanted
her to know he did it for her?

great writing and character development. the writers left a lot for us to figure out not only about
the story but also about each character. i'm amazed the continuity of the story has held up so well
given the number of different writers who have been involved. i guess that's because henry bromwell
has provided his able oversight? so far imo eliza clark, the woman who wrote episode nine, has been
one of the better writers. the interpersonal relationships between will and ande and grant and his
wife were home runs. i've become ed bancroft. i'm totally obsessed with connecting the dots in this
series. time to go watch epi ten.

you realise no one actually reads this dribble? this isn't twitter
