Hiya everyone!

I'm unlocking this thread for tonight's episode, which is set to air in less than 15 minutes!

Just saw the promo aired on here... So excited. Wohoo!

So feel free to post your comments and whatnot... I will be online later tonight and post my usual stuff on here. ;D

Enjoy tonight's episode, everyone!

Hiya everyone!

All right... I was waiting for CBS to upload the clips for their weekly episode.

Overall, I have to say, this episode was definitely much better than last week... It was more 'in depth' in terms of how they got the mission, how they would approach it... and how they would execute it... before a twist was thrown in their way. Hehe!

Seriously, for a moment there I really thought Higgins would throw them to the wolves there... but... the man seemed to listen to reasoning and everything. He's starting to grown on me! LOL!

Aside from that, Billy and Casey got to shine in this particular episode. I just wish we had a little more Michael scenes flexing his 'leadership' muscles.

More later though... For now, enjoy the clips.


[glow=red,2,300]Episode 1.03 -

'Love & Rockets'[/glow]


1. CHAOS - Mission Approved

- Okay... The first few minutes of this clip made me seriously go...

I guess that's what you get for shifting episodes around. Originally this episode was supposed to air as Episode 1.06, but now it's Episode 1.03. The thing that seriously is messing things up is the whole Adele character.

Now she and Rick are... dating or whatever they are doing there... enough for him to check on the CIA 'Code of Conducts' handbook?

How do you freakingly go from her character barely being introduced in last week's episode to them dating?

And whatever happen to Fay? Did she already got dumped by him? Apparently looks that way since Rick looked completely smitten by Adele as he tells her about the mission afterwards...

I guess the only purpose that the Fay character serves is getting dumped from one guy to another... So much for being the body reading expert, huh... Hehe.

But seriously, that was the only thing that really was a MESS in this episode... and continues to be BIG mess if they don't fix it soon!

And I'm about at the point where I'm ready to say... Go get rid of those annoying two female 'secretary' characters and and just run the show with the guys and Higgins. At least there's consistency and continuity there.



Clip Description:

After a test to make sure the mission is viable, Higgins allows the Chaos agents to pose as lawyers to infiltrate an international arms dealer's Russian compound and capture him.



2. CHAOS - Sympathy

- I really like this scene! ;D

The gave the 'bad guy' humanity and heart... a father who just wanted to 'let' his two daughers out of the 'cage' so that they could be free.

His heartfelt speech really got to the guys... and you can tell... LOL!

But Michael being Michael reminded the guys of who their 'bad' guy really was... and what he did...



Clip Description:

After the team preps for their mission, they have a heart to heart with the Russian arms dealer, which almost makes them feel bad about completing their mission.



3. CHAOS - You Men Make Me Proud to Serve

- Michael and Rick are still at odds here... when they fight over who should drive the truck filled with nukes! LOL!



Clip Description:

Uploaded by CBS on Apr 14, 2011

After Collins comes clean to the Russian arms dealer's daughter and gets her to help, the team successfully smuggle out the weapons, but are unable to escape themselves.



4. CHAOS - We Have A Plan?!?



Clip Description:

Uploaded by CBS on Apr 14, 2011

The Russian arms dealer tells Higgins that he will execute the team if he doesn't get his weapons back. Later, Malick saves Blanke's life.



5. CHAOS - A True Shadow Warrior



Clip Description:

Uploaded by CBS on Apr 14, 2011

Under Malick's leadership, he and Blanke successfully defeat countless guards, making their way closer to saving the rest of the team.



6. CHAOS - It's Over

- LOVE the scene of the Michael, Billy and Rick taking out that one guy while still seated on the couch! They were sooo in sync! LOL!

The ending will make you go 'Aww...'

At least, I went 'Aww...' when I watched it! LOL!

The guys are a bunch of Softies with big hearts! Not that they would ever admit that... Hehe!

In case you are confused, 'Blanke' is the guy who was roaming the hallways after his program got cut and he lost his office in the 'Pilot'. Casey even called him a 'freaking Zombie'

Surprisingly enough, they did a good continuity with his character in this episode since he was the one who came to them with the mission... including Casey treating him better at the end. ;D



Clip Description:

Uploaded by CBS on Apr 14, 2011

The Russian arms dealer surrenders in exchange for his daughters' safe passage. Later, Higgins commends Malick and Blanke gets his own office and extension when the team returns to America.

YES!!! INDEED!

I was concerned about all the shuffling of episodes initially because I worried that meant they didn't do anything really in terms of character development but now I see they were shooting for some sort of development in terms of Rick's sex life but now because of all the shuffling none of it makes sense!! It's driving me crazy!!! The female characters are being wasted and not developed in the slightest.

This episode shuffling is the real CHAOS! AUGH!

Okay, I have to go for a run right now but I had to post my shared frustration after skimming Cindy's comments.

Seriously. AUGH!


P.S. One character development I am loving (like Cindy) is how they incorporated Blanke into the show. ;D Now his presence will make more sense.
