drat, 5 episodes to go and they're breaking the status quo? If they keep it going even most of the way to the finale I'll be impressed. Most shows keep it to the last 3 of the season.

Honestly the most hosed up part of all of this is Rachel just let their mom berate Brian when she does drugs with him regularly.

Yeah, but at the same time the father is just chilling at the table like, "now you hosed up. I had concerns months ago but I'm saying nothing now so my wife can bash you."

Well Bryan's dad knows he can't say anything, so he doesn't. This show is so good, it can air a bummer of an episode like this and it feels believable. Can't wait to see how this season wraps up. My guess: Mr. Sands winds up dead and the cjc directly works for Morra after he wins the election. Rebecca figures everything out and there are less secrets between her and bryan.

Brians mother didn't just try to get him to divulge state secrets, she also urged her husband to break client confidentiality. Why was she so shocked about that silence? She claimed that her husband always talked about everything with her. Did he tell her about all the times clients admited to be guilty? A lawyer who never keeps anything secret from his wife is a stupid premise.

It isn't shocking per say but when I go back to watch that scene I just had this interpretation that behind that facade of noncompliance w/ his wife, Brian's dad just seemed smug. I'm probably projecting but the way the scene is written it could have been stronger had the dad not been up to speed on developments and some of the mom's dialogue been assigned to him but they blew that possibility earlier on in the season. Maybe it was just too much for one episode, having the family & Rebecca's concerns and frustrations bubble over. I suppose we can do a re-watch of some of the episodes and see how sketchy Brian is from their perspective but it would only be slightly effective w/ Rebecca. The family is a bigger leap. It is still tricky because the audience is seduced by knowing the other side of the story, not to mention the cute narrative/visual gimmick which comprise the show's story telling.

What really bothers me about the whole "Bryan is on drugs" reaction is that they know (or at least highly suspect) that drugs are coming from the FBI. It's not like he is some addict trying to score a fix in an alley somewhere. I mean yeah it seems a little shady, but I think I'd at least want to here more about his side of the story instead of holding some sort of impromptu intervention.

Something I noticed at the tail end of this last episode: In the scene where Rebecca finds Brian's letter, when she's leaving the room the camera's POV is framed by a pair of little figures that Brian likes to make. I am about 95% sure those figures are Morra and Sands. Even when going rogue, Brian left hints for Rebecca.

This recent episode did nothing to further engender empathy towards Brian's family. I just felt annoyed at the father for placing all the blame on Brian leaving on Rebecca AND the sister for not speaking up and, once she does, though by no means on purpose, gets in the way of Finch.

I like little poo poo like his dad honoring the fact that he's his sons lawyer and not talking about sensitive things even with his family. That is something other shows would just trample all over for some drama.

Been catching up with this show - it is so loving fun. Just about the greatest sense of fun of anything currently on TV which is what is really keeping me watching; I love that someone on the show basically had the revelation to stage episodes directly from people (mostly Brian's) perspective and really get a good long look at what peoples brains look like.

Didn't know that the episode wasn't generally available, sorry Let's not spend half a season playing footsie. Just turn the dial all the way up to 11 and let rip. I am going to go insane waiting for next week to see how things play out. I am very impressed by the way plot is being handled - something that would take an episode to play out on another show is done and dusted in 5 minutes on this one. I am really intrigued by how well handled Senator Morra is being played and written - I didn't know what to expect, but the way he played the revelations about sand worked incredibly well. I'm also really enjoying how much involvement Bradley Cooper has with the series. Pikehead fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Mar 23, 2016 |

This was a pretty gripping episode. Morra seems like an object lesson in what happens when you take NZT for too long and your ego can't keep itself in check. Kind of hoping Sands is a decent fellow and is trying to get out from Morra's thumb and ultimately stop him, but I don't know if that's where this is heading. I feel like it could head that way though, so that says a lot about the show.
