The dialogue was excellent tonight.

I love that we see more and more what a great cop Fusco is. We saw it with Martine tonight, with Walter in Pretenders, and with Agent Maybank who came to pick up Grace last season.

I didn't quite understand last week when Martine asked Samaritan if the target was present and it replied Negative. Of course, it was because Samaritan is blind to them. That's why Martine had to ask where the handset was.

I loved that David Valcin (Scarface) was listed first in the guest cast credits.

Nice theory but the timing doesn't add up. But it's fun to think of it that way.

Elias (aka Charlie Burton) taught Engish or history.

He was too old to be in Caleb's class from that episode but it was a nice parallel.

I love Fusco and Shaw's relationship. Their back and forth is so good. I'm pretty sure it started to rev up during The Crossing last year when she broke into his apartment. Or did they have that rapport prior?

Wouldn't that be a great little side twist?

Right. Since Amy Acker wasn't in this episode, she probably wasn't paid. She was credited. I think it's negotiated with the actor's contract.

If you pay close attention to TV dramas, you'll notice that a series regular is missing for an entire episode fairly frequently. I think it's a way for the networks to save money.

Sarah Shahi's character on Life. Cute.

I thought it was because I'm under the weather that I didn't quite get the story. It seemed like an entire thread in the script was summarily eliminated and the holes didn't get plugged well. But that's OK - I still loves my POI peeps.

For shame!

And Harold is the only one of TM that knew Claypool so well. Arthur wasn't a bad guy - he didn't build Samaritan to do harm.

And the Pink Panthers are currently being featured on White Collar.

The race is Prady vs Shady vs Lady.

I'm so glad that I missed the trailer last year that played prior to Carter's death. I found out later that it said someone was going to die. Why would they do that? It lessened the impact of Carter's demise.

Where they both drove up in their cars to meet John and Walter with the gun.

I thought it was another example of how Elias is not fully in his effective-threat mode. It's been a while since he's stared down another dealer. I think he expected Dominic to crumble and was surprised when he didn't.
