Fist of Doom

Good episode, but Shaw taking out the black guy was silly. Sarah Shahi is tiny and shouldn't be going toe-to-toe with bigger guys. They need to take a cue from Nikita, and find a way to give her leverage in her fights.

Could they be setting the stage for a Shaw+Root spin-off?
I'm all for it if they make out regularly.

As much as I adore Amy Acker, I'm actually tired of Root. Honestly, I never really liked the character that much back when she had kidnapped Harold. I like her even less now. I was ready for Shaw to slice her throat, even though I knew that wasn't going to happen.

This new group of villains is independent from that of John Nolan's character and his unseen boss from last season, right?

~~ PAL ~~

Yes, those from last season were still government, some sort of unidentified black ops group/division. The new group (Vigilance) is completely anti-government and constantly references some sort of revolutionary movement.

Honestly, after that happened I stopped and deleted. It was that ridiculous it totally took me out of the show. I can't stand Root either, and while this used to be a show I never missed, I don't much care for this season at all.
