I thought it seemed tedious, like a standard CBS procedural and I'm still not sure what to make of the ending. This was the first episode of this show that I didn't like.

I'm not enjoying the "big bad villian" at all, and adding Shaw as a regular hasn't helped either. The show seems to be straying from what made it good for me.

I liked the episode.

The double cross was an interesting twist and I liked how Reese just left a gun to let them kill each other. This was a situation that was beyond their ability to help the POI, so Reese didn't care anymore.

Not surprised that Carter's new partner appears to be part of HR.

Uteotw, If you're talking about HR as the big bad villain, they have been the main villain since season 1.

I really hope Carter gets back to being a detective at least by midseason.

at Shaw wanting to kill the bank manager. I liked her crashing the book reading party.

I personally like Shaw as part of the team, but I can see how some may think it makes the cast a little too bloated.

I didn't like this episode either. And the ending felt out of character not just for Reese but the show.

I like Shaw because she is insanely hot. But, I don't get why she agreed to be part of the team. They haven't done enough character development for her.

I think the show is suffering from classic Batman sequel syndrome. Too many villains. Too many good guys. So much going on in little pieces that nothing seems to be really happening. No real resolution of any of the story threads.

I love shaw. I don 't care if it taking away from other cast member screen time. Glad to know Carter's partner is working for HR as we all suspected.
