I might as well just turn this blog into an official
Covert Affairs episode review site at this point; this has been the subject of 5 of my past 6 blog entries, after all. Then again, the show will be off the air again soon and I'll have like 7 months to write about other stuff, heheh. Anyway like I mentioned before, I didn't plan to review each of the last 3 eps of the season; I meant to come back and review them only after the season was over. But I found last week's episode (314 - "Scary Monsters") to be so frustrating that
I needed to vent about it. So now I'm doing a check-in after this week's ep, 315 "Quicksand", to give an update on whether any of my frustrations have been resolved.
After seeing 315 "Quicksand", I'm thinking of the 3 eps leading into it (312-14) be like taking a big intricate puzzle from a box, and dumping all the puzzle pieces onto a table. Each of these three episodes move the pieces around a lot, but very few of the pieces actually start to connect properly. And there's some that you try to fit together but they don't fit and you have to start over again. The low quantity of connections made between puzzle pieces in those eps were what made them so damn frustrating. But in 315 "Quicksand" ... it feels like ... I
think ... we're starting to see some possible connections here.
