(269-word review) Plot-wise, this episode was like the previous one in the sense of being a bit different than most usually are, which I can appreciate. I like how the plots are becoming more engaging, even though I'm probably going to be gob-smacked by the next episode, where it'll be the less exciting stage instead of continuing the consistent 'more engaging plot' path.
Besides that, this episode was slightly better than the previous one, IMO; more straightforward as well, depending on how you look at it. It had a run-of-the-mill feel to it, but there was a decent enough sense of tension and suspense later on regarding Tony's state, which was effective, despite knowing nothing drastic would come of it.
The end of McGee's interactions with Anna Elliot (played by an actress I recognize as the one who played the judge in Law Abiding Citizen) was also good; regarding recognition, Jeffrey White's actor was familiar, too.
The end, however, felt indecisive and sudden: out of nowhere. I was expecting at least one more scene. Subconsciously, anyway, since I had no idea I was already at the end. But it was the same as usual, in a way: only everyone was out in the field instead of at their desks.
As this is the tenth episode, I'm getting close to the end of the season. So, as you can expect, I'm looking forward to it and whatever the "important" episodes (or maybe just episode: the finale, perhaps) will entail. That also means part of me is hopeful that most of the subsequent episodes will be adequately engaging and enjoyable. Here's to hoping.
