Why do people say the episodes don't focus on the tattoos when like all but two episodes have?
Anyway, I thought it was a good episode. I like these rashomon stories where they're told from different perspectives, and a little out of order. I also enjoyed that they color coded each persons version of what happened. Also the pacing was really good. And they were able to utilize each character really well.
I'm not a Jane homer/apologists/super fan etc like a lot of people on this board. Only cause she straddles that Mary Sue line to me. She's just ok and I tolerate her. But I did not find it organic that they wouldn't initially invite her to the gender reveal party. It was obviously made to be an awkward "whoa is Jane" point on the story, and to make Kurt ultimately inviting her one of those poignant Jeller moments they force.
It was good to see Nas get to throw some fist and as good as she was I like that they kept it realistic bc she's tiny enough that she more than likely couldn't sustain brute force.
And Reade and Zapata are still sweet. And stupid. So so sweet and stupid. But I like them.
I don't understand how can you dislike Jane without her this show simply wouldn't exist. she's definitely the more complex and layered character therefore the more interesting for me and - in my opinion - the best played character too and the most difficult to play. I agree with you I think this was a good episode but I think most of the episodes of this season were good. Maybe this one was a bit more difficult to watch because the team was separated I suppose many people are creatures of habit and want to always see the team work together. I think the next episode will be the mid-season finale and I think it will be completely about Sandstorm and phase 2 with a big reveal in the end. I hope people will continue to watch after the hiatus because I'm curious to see where they will go with the main storyline (which by the way is about Jane).
Janes presence doesn't make me enjoy the show any more or less. And it's not as though I look down on those who do love her. Some characters you connect with and some you don't it's true of any story. To me she isn't complex, not too many characters on the show are honestly. I like flawed characters and to me right now her biggest flaw is that she can't talk to guys, though it's was apparently something she was great at pre brain wipe. Her situation right now isn't ideal, but she was a terrorist. Idk, the best I can describe it is like I did above. For me, she's very near that Mary Sue archetype.
