The POI this week was pretty weak. Felt like a hipper version of an ABC after school special.

Enjoyed the continued exploration of what's up with Finch but there wasn't much of that this week.

I've started to love this series, but I actually fell asleep during this episode. Didn't care much for the Astro kid storyline I guess.

I was able to stay awake this week but browsing online the entire time. I actually forgot about it being on despite my vision seeing both teh TV and comp monitor next to each other.

Thankfully the buffer on my PVR was going so caught the last few minutes discussing the past of Finch. That scene was more interesting than the entire Astro boy main plot.

"The man has a point" loved that line.

That scene and why that blonde woman was so freaked out when Finch was mentioned was where it was at for classic POI storytelling.

I thought they were gonna kill him off there, since he's basically dead weight now anyway. Maybe they're saving it for the finale.

eh, this episode was all right. That bean bag shotgun scene was pretty awesome. Other than that, forgettable episode for me.

Overall it was one of the weaker episodes. But the title of the episode is in reference to the "Lone Wolf and Cub" series, as well as why there were all these talks about samurai, ronin, and The Art of War. The kid's analogy of Reese wandering the countryside was quite apt actually.

Hmm, I liked the stuff with him and the kid and him explaining his steps and what not.

I'm just glad the cop chick is in on it now rather than trying to hunt Reese down. At some point the two cops have to realize they're both helping, right?
Still think this is the best new show on TV.

This is probably the best new show of the season, but the procedural format is so limiting to character growth and possible story arcs. I'm surprised they haven't used more of the female love interest angle to the overall arc.

Anyone know why this isn't up on Hulu or CBS yet? I can usually watch it the day after it airs.

Hulu doesn't carry CBS shows. You need to go to cbs.com

They usually link to them, though. All of the other POI episodes have had a link on Hulu, to CBS.com. The episode isn't on cbs.com either.
