thank god we had Kathy on this, I always thought the trio of Rich-Patterson-Boston was always a blast, adding Kathy to the mix just made it more nice and truly kept this one from being just another filler, but rather a final episode for the humorous side of the show as it had pretty funny one-liners and a nice set-up for these four.
The rest is forgettable and thrill-less, just like everything, there's nothing to keep excited for - something happens and it's resolved right away, except for capturing the fucking ZIP bombs which will have its wires cut at the last second - Jane being zipped again will be a fake-out, I bet.
Boston: So this is Kathy.
Boston: I always picture someone more... No, I guess I just pictured this.
Boston: She looks just like a third wheel.
Kathy: Beats being a fourth wheel.
Boston: Four wheels is the standard amount of wheels.
Kathy: Not for tricycles.
:joy: :joy: :joy:
I’m gonna be that ONE person and say that I kinda wish we would have gotten another season just to see the adventures of Patterson, Rich, Boston and Kathy hacking their way through the FBI. This show always has a sci-fi side to it, but handing out deals like that would be another level of unrealistic.
A whole episode dedicated to hacking encrypted firewalls based on the VPN bounce radius. If you've used a computer for longer than 5 minutes ever it'll be impossible to suspend disbelief. Also impossible not to roll your eyes after every exchange of dialogue.
Writers, can we please dispense with the technobabble? And if not, how about we let our heroes decompress the mainframe batch file so they can save the world with IPv6 motherboard ping replies?
They went from one annoying villain to another.
"If you ask me... I think she's a little bit... unstable."
Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
This episode is chock full of absolute codswaddle... it's so good!
The finale is building up to be a classic.
I want a huge fight between Amy and Jane and Kurt... Banshee style.
Please!
As ridiculous and goofy as most of the episode was, as in everything with Rich, Patterson, and Kathy, along with Boston, in some parts, it was the most enjoyable thing about the episode. Usually, stuff like that doesn't appeal to me that much but this time, it did. That surprised me.
But, to be fair, there was hardly anything else besides that so you either don't like anything in the episode or you like what there was the most of, which was Rich, Patterson, and Kathy doing their thing with a feature appearance from Boston. Based on that, I was going to grant this episode a seven out of ten. But then, the ending happened. So close, yet so far.
I guess you could say it was poetic, in a sense, given how that was what started the whole show, and that's only it if it ends up staying that way, or even worked, for that matter. But you already know what's going to happen.
a.) It worked, surprisingly, and that will remain the case for most of the finale. Then, one way or another, it will be reversed, and the ending will be all "heartfelt" with the required kiss or two between Jane and Kurt, and some sappy, affectional back-and-forth talk between them. This is the one I'm expecting or at least, something close to this.
b.) It didn't work and that was the dumbest cliffhanger ever, and it'll be revealed right away. And there will still be the required kissing, the "heartfelt" theme to it all, and that lovely, sappiness to this affection between Jane and Kurt that we all know and love, of course.
c.) It worked and stays that way, surprisingly. I feel like that would be more poetic than the first one and would be the bravest, most admirable one that the writers could do. But only if they did it right. This one is like a double-edged sword, pretty much. It can go well, or super bad. Either way, there would still probably be those who'd be angry about it, and that the entire show ended like that, or close to it. But if done well, I think they'd get over it, eventually, and look at it in a different light.
Again, I think the first one will be how this will turn out, in some similar way or another. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Regardless, I'm mostly interested to see how the actual ending of the finale will be, not the finale itself. It's the ending of an entire show. That's a big deal and a big responsibility that holds a lot of weight. As long as it isn't that bad, I won't mind if it's super sappy and predictable.
THAT'S how it ends?!?
Whoa, that that was going to be the finale...

Mostly good, except for the wild technobabble overdrive, and...
At the end, couldn't Jane have hit that door button and then slipped out the door before it finished closing? At least tried? Sigh.
I'm half-expecting to find out that, either due to the ZIP released in the room being from the "denatured" batch or due to Jane's previous experience with ZIP (and ZIP poisoning) that she now has some degree of immunity to ZIP, and will end up having some sort of weird memory-lane finale experience before waking up to an all's-well end... maybe... as long as they don't make it some overly simple "just kidding!" sort of save...
Just one episode left to wrap it up, one way or another.
