Glad to see the show back. But I wasn't crazy about this episode. It seemed awkward that everyone was angry at him. Especially after everything that happened last season.
It looks like maybe Eli and Jordan will join forces and fight evil together like some do-gooder super-lawyer team. I wonder if they'll be moving into that empty office and start their own firm.

Yep, it was the place of Sydney Bristow's early employment cover.
I liked how Eli finally took a stand and embraced his destiny instead of fighting it for most of the first season.
Did Natasha Henstridge have something done to her face? It looked odd. Plus, she's really filling out her outfits nowadays.

Thank god you said that. I kept looking at her thinking "is that still her?" I had to look on various sites to see if another actress took the role!

^I thought the same things about Natasha! Is she knocked up or something?
Decent episode once it got going, but the whole 'Nate having a vision' shit didn't work for me and I wish they could have gotten to this place by a different route. I'm glad that Eli is now owning his condition/visions but the way they got there kind of bugged the shit out of me and really felt forced (probably one of the weaker storylines on this show ever)... hopefully it's uphill from here.

Sooo glad this show is back. Needed more of Maggie, but there's the rest of the season for that. I think the only part I didn't like is how he was practically "forced" to get the visions back. I think it would've been better if they made it so that the aneurysm was never the cause of them, but rather that he was really a chosen prophet. And that his desire to actually do good, would be the reason he would continually get them.

I agree on many of the points. Why was Taylor so angry with him given how sad she was when Eli had surgery? The writers hussled a way to give Eli back his gift and aneurism. I'm looking at Natasha and thinking something tragic happened to her face. It was all swollen. I can't believe someone so beautiful would get work done on it.
Love Sigourney Weaver and her character and I hope she returns as much as George Michael did. Great to have Eli back in any case. The character and show tugs at your heart.
