Fuck!

Where did they say that? WHY would they say that? I never understand why producers would give away info like this if they did. (I say "if they did" because sometimes we read into their statements something that isn't there.) Amy Acker already appeared in an episode of SHIELD last season. Who knows what that means.

I didn't read it that way (her taking two years off). Unless there's another interview besides the EW one. In EW, she talks about how she's going to be going without sleep for the next two years because the sleep deprivation doubles when you have twins.

Really? Is that why she's been MIA?

Simulation vs stimulation.

I take full responsibility. ;)

I CALLED IT!!!!!! Back on the Pretenders thread, I asked if anyone else got the impression that she was pregnant given how much time she was spending behind desks, how more loose her clothing was, and how her bosom had blossomed. I got crickets in response.

Clarification: Leaving the show for either a little while or for good. I hope she stays.

That means that she's a Samaritan agent and has found Finch?

I think that's entirely too kind.

Oh, I knew immediately I thought it sucked. Fuck this show. I'm so sorry I gave it another chance after last season. I see I was clearly wrong to do so.

When John was following the office bomber and he was talking with Fusco, he asked if there were any homicides and Fusco said there was a freak accident where the head of the identity thief group fell down an elevator shaft. That's when Fusco says "do you know something I don't?" and John says "one or two things". …

Samaritan can't see him.

Shoutout to Kevin Chapman for this episode. He has always been good in the role but he has settled so deeply into Fusco's skin this season and we've seen what a great cop he is. LOVED the car scene as he was talking to Reese. It made me afraid for him. But he was also smart enough to ask if someone had planned the…
