I know what you mean. This episode was a definite wow. The series rockets up to # 1 on my personal must-see list.
So much suspense and excitement. I haven't enjoyed a television episode like that since Angel.
And background stuff. I love background stuff. Did you catch the tv news guy talking about Alternative Energy intrigues? Was that an "Ah ha" moment?
God, that poor girl in the room with the bullet-proof glass getting smashed in, and Michael on the roof again, this time looking down at the chaos, ready to swoop in like a superhero.
These moral dillemas he's finding himself in lately are adding a whole new layer of tension. Does he help the guard and endanger his breakout? Does he let the mafia guy snuff out the bum-rapist, or does he break him out, and unleash him on society? Tense, tense stuff.
