May. 1st, 2010 11:16 amI have such conflicted reactions to this episode, and the one before it.
On the one hand - TET has awesome Paul/Madeline stuff going on.
On the other - both episodes have Greg Hillenger.
I like the first episode he is in in the (first? second? season - I've just watched them all, you'd think I could remember).
But this pair of eps? There is something about Greg and his interactions with all the other characters that triggers in me that horrible - cover my eyes because OMG (!!!111!!!!1) they are *all* going to embarrass themselves terribly over this!!!11!!!! - feeling.
There is something about the structure of the eps that is so heavy handed with it's telegraphing that "Greg=trouble" that the utter obliviousness of *everyone* else to this problem, even after Greg is deliberately guilty of murder of a sr. operative, just makes it almost impossible for me to enjoy anything else going on.
Or, seriously, for that matter - in the final scene in the hanger - when George suddenly rolls over and plays dead?
OMG - Paul!!! Wake the frak up!!!
