DH and I kept asking each other when the guy was going to step off the land mine. To us that was a given. Who was the director and what was he the director of? It was almost filler to keep yelling at him that this was an urgent situation. Like he didn't know? And why would the police be standing around yacking with each other with an undetonated bomb sitting underneath a support column and the ERT are trying to clear the area? I don't like it when they try to prove one arm of public service is superior to the other. I always thought that was a great line this show walked where there was respect between all branches. I'm still a fan though and I love how this show avoids the pitfalls of the usual Canadian programming.

Just watching all the characters and their reactions was powerful to me. Everyone reacted in a way that was completely in character. I think the part where Greg was yelling at the other police to make sure the area was clear wasn't him being superior to another branch but him trying to have control over something in the situation since at that point it was already out of his control.

I just like to be entertained... sure sometimes I might roll my eyes about something, but I don't really spend a lot of time picking apart the shows I watch.. much more enjoyable that way

Now that's a very good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. He's usually so controlled that it would upset his balance. Thanks!

I think I'll wait and watch when CBS airs it as a midseason replacement. I have way too many other things to watch now.

I think how they worked with it was great. You knew there was no way out, but the desperation of the characters that didn't want to believe it made it so much more intense, as were the characters that were still in denial, and the conflict between them all.

I read that CBS has a deadline as of today whether to purchase the rights to 13 new episodes on top of of the 9 they have already acquired. They can either say yes, ask for an extension on the deadline (to hold out until they have a better idea how current shows are doing) or say no, in which case, Flashpoint could be free to shop to other networks in the USA. Considering it always won its timeslot and Medium is (so far as the season premiere) getting similar numbers, I can't see them passing this up.

Nice touch at the end with the bracelets. I liked the ending too. The bracelets definitely seemed to help the team realize that the new girl isn't there to replace Lou and that she understands what they're feeling and can relate.

Will it win the night? No. Will it be respectable? Absolutley.

I don't think this is being broadcast in the States so it's just us Canadians that get this treat. I liked how they turned around just who the bad guy really was. I was so sure and then, wham. Or whack. Whichever. I'm always entertained by this show. Some episodes more than others but on the whole, enjoyable. I wish they'd drop the Greg and his son storyline. Enough, we get it. We don't need to be reminded every time. But that's just me.
