History is repeating itself. Back when Jane was Remi and in Orion, her team was sent to Afghanistan and killed by American drones, and when she was in the process of recovering with the particular help of Nigel Thorton, the village where his wife was got bombed by American drones. I think it would be great from a plot standpoint if everyone in the team minus Jane and Rich is dead. One or two of them would be ridiculous. It should be all of them. But it's most likely more probable given how predictable this show is and can be that they somehow knew what was coming and were able to get into the tunnel to survive even though Ice Cream told them that they shouldn't go in it because it crumbles a lot—I forget his actual wording. And if any of them were in it when the cabin got bombed, they'd definitely be dead in that scenario too because the explosion would've easily made the tunnel collapse completely, killing anyone who happened to be in it. I just hope that the writers use this opportunity to not do the predictable thing to where they all survived or only one of them died.
So they used the tunnel.
I can’t watch this anymore. I’m out. This is some seriously bad writing.
This episode is the definition of overkill.
Wow, just wow! My head is spinning and my heart is racing! This escalated quickly! I feel like Madeleine and her (annoying) attorney played me as well!
whew this plot stretched and rushed to fit within one episode lmao half of this season was filler stuff (i mean we spend what... two whole episodes on Weller's mom and two more Shepherd's "puzzle"?), yet they crammed a thousand happenings into one single finale. and it's not even a good plot! of course they all fell into Madeline's plan and of course Madeline's plan "failing" early on was actually part of her plan to bring down the FBI for... whatever. she wants to bring down the FBI, that's the point. so much uninteresting stuff happening, Jane became a secondary character at this point and all of her mushy-fluffy romance with Kurt is boring as sin, specially because Kurt is an extremely boring and one-dimensional character that no one should care about.
and don't worry, no one died on that explosion, Weitz or what's-her-name-that-betrayed-the-FBI tipped them there would be a drone attack and they took the tunnel (even if they shouldn't survive on that tunnel anyway). i doubt this predictable show would actually kill one of its main characters and if they did, it would be the wrong one (not Kurt, that should be killed)
Although the writing in season 3 & 4 was pure crap; if you treat this show as a DC Comics/Marvel one, trust me you’ll enjoy it! Lol
Wtf just happend, they better renew this show.

Are you kidding? What the hell? I mean sure I was pissed at the conclusion of season 2, but really that was about the half-arsed setup for season 3 considering they'd tied everything off & needed an excuse for more episodes, & the actual story arc was properly concluded. Here, we didn't even get that much. I get that sometimes an arc needs space to play out & sometimes that means spreading it across more than one season but that's not the case here. There was so much going on, but at the same time it felt like nothing was happening.
They've woven disparate elements in before, & the action has always taken weird twists & turns, but everything always still felt like it was part of the same mystery. Here everything just seemed hastily cobbled together into a poorly paced mess as they desperately tried random stuff to see what would work.
Let's spend the first chunk of the season with Jane working against the team - cool idea! Oh wait now she's been found out! Now she's sick & needs a cure! Zapata is a traitor! Only not really, but she can't prove it! Oh no wait Keaton woke up so he can vouch for her! Madeleine is a threat! Only she got caught easily! But there's still Dominic who is out there just kinda being an annoying loose end I guess? Oh hey Psycho Hacker Girl is here too because why not everyone else is! Here's Boden, & Hirst! Oh & that lab tech who got murdered it just terrible at trusting people. Oh hey Shepard left Jane something must be a big deal... Oh no it's just a random collection of stuff! Oh, but who is this mysterious figure??! Oh wait it's Kurt's mother, who has never been mentioned before (& for some reason has no contact with anyone in the family, even Kurt's sister, who was willing to stick up for & spend time with their accused-of-child-murder dad but apparently a few drugs are a step too far) & this is a pretty big deal... for like one episode. Oh, look, the team are fighting over secrets. Again. Aaaaand it turns out that this was all Madeleine's plan all along & all the murder & terrorism & power-grabbing was just to screw with the team so she'd have an excuse to take over the FBI because she's mad about her father or something.
And that's just the shit I can remember.
Oh & don't get me started on them pairing off Reade & Zapata. They had an awesome ride or die friendship, & then the show randomly throws in romance there, because OF COURSE a man & a woman can't be just bros. And they make it worse still by milking this shit for maximum drama.
I was gritting my teeth & pushing through hoping it would be worth it in the end. The finale was never gonna make up for this shitshow of a season, but I'd hoped for some payoff. And what's gonna happen next season? There surely can't be a whole season worth of material in the team clearing their names? So it's just gonna be a few episodes at best... & then what?
