Weird, because it’s not like they seem to have any problem adding random new characters at the drop of a hat. Meanwhile Valerie and Esther have more to hash out - Valerie informs Esther that her agent is back from Estonia - “in bad shape, but I guess he’s going to make it.” He looked awfully corpse-like last week in 3.7, but pretty much killing people off and then reviving them seems to happen often in this series. (Sorry April, they’re going to get screwed, and you’re going to be responsible that’s life in the CIA.) Valerie wants April to talk to the Adeyemis, find out if there’s something they’ve missed, and keep them on side. We’ve got all the pretty pictures and interviews, which was pretty much all Armitage’s fans got out of this one anyway.Įverything pre-titles is recap from previous episodes.Īpril thinks that the weapon’s been stolen by Aquinas / Bankole, the thug from 3.3, but when she gets a little too vocal about Esther’s apparent unwillingness to help, Valerie takes her aside, tells her she agrees, but that she shouldn’t speak that way to the head of the BfV. The best thing that could happen to this show is for it to die an unmourned death after 3.10. Cynical much? So what was that stupid “tell Armitage we love him” thing about this week again? And if Daniel isn’t dead - did they forget that they already used this plot device in 3.2? At least this time it happened where we could see it.Īnd oh yeah - on the spoilers issue, EPIX posted a picture of the crucial scene in this episode bout two hours before it aired, on their press site. Honestly, all this work for a character they were just going to kill off anyway? Daniel sort of became the equivalent of Clare from season 1 here. Steven either is Diver or killed to protect Diver. I suppose it could be the case that Frost wasn’t Diver, but after this, it sure looks like he was, and if Daniel’s dead I don’t know why it matters anymore anyway. Even so, apart from that: again nothing on events in Estonia, even though that is ostensibly the center of the plot and why we are going through all this again nothing on Valerie’s weird friend. I will admit it was suspenseful even if I got sick of the constant cuts to the forest. This plot is six minutes shorter than usual, but in exchange, it feels like it has a lot of plot and more than enough filler. Maybe the Adeyemis’ surgical weapon sciency thingie will pop up in the hands of Hector, though, and in the absence of all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, he’ll put Daniel back together again. Anything can happen for any nonsense reason at any time. The whole script is disgustingly cynical. Again, I thought we were supposed to care, but not in order to be manipulated. No, it’s not suspenseful, no, it’s not filled with thrills and chills, it’s just goddamn juvenile. I guess I have to watch till the end of this season to see if he’s really dead or not (3.2 taught me that lesson), but honestly, I fucking hate being jerked around like this. So, Daniel’s back, only to (apparently?) be killed again. I write this in a mood of anger (about the episode) and frustrated distraction (because apparently if you want everyone to know to call you or need you at a specific time, all you need to do is specify that you need an hour to watch dedicated TV at 8 p.m. broadcast but still want a fresh look at them when the show becomes legally available in your region. PLEASE do not read them if you are not watching concurrently with the U.S.
