This show has become insulting to anyone with a shred of common sense. After taking down the three gunman, not one of the four agents disarms them. It was semi-believeable that Annie didn't carry a weapon, but this pushed it out of the "watch" category for me

Best episode of the season, so far.

This show is a lot better when the Ben Mercer character is in it. When the shit hits the fan, they turn to the off-the-books, super spy. Good tension. Good action.

They need him in the show A LOT MORE.

Easily the best episode of the season and possibly one of the best of the series IMO.

Lots of good action and stunt work. The mission was actually really compelling. I was a little surprised the Eco-Terrorism angle was all a front and the President of the company was behind it all.

Plus we got to see Joan kick some ass.

I'm glad that Annie didn't give in to Ben's temptation.

I think your over-reacting there. It was in the heat of the moment. Joan and her friend took out the gunmen and their concern was getting the hostages out ASAP. I think in the chaos of the situation, they could have easily overlooked it.
