Wow, that was a really good analysis, especially about John's different actions regarding essentially the same situation.

Nolan has said he didn't want POI to go to 200 epps.

I loved John and Joss 's kiss, I felt it was foreshadowed quite nicely, and to me, it was very well done. I didn't see Carter getting killed, I truly thought Simmons would come out of the shadows and kill Fusco. The ending scene with John and Joss was very nicely handled.
