Disappointed in the outcome tonight...


I was so looking forward to McLeish being caught and answering for himself and paying in the public eye. What's worse is that he wouldn't have killed himself (which is why his wife did it).

Really felt like the writers were just sweeping a plot they decided to abandon under the carpet. I read the show was getting something of a retool for the back end and this seems to be it.

reply

I read they're going to delve more into the characters.

I couldn't believe that - I was disappointed, but it only showed me there is someone worse out there besides McLeish. I thought oh, great Hannah is going to get shot...not what I expected. Really, McLeish seemed "weak" and not in control, so I feel "the story" is just beginning.

reply

McLeish's wife seemed to be the one in control. Where it goes now remains to be seen.

reply

Yeah, she kept trying to get him to look at the "bigger picture" whatever that is since we dont know how many more people are in on this/who they are. She didn't want him to go meet that guy. But she was able to not only kill him to protect the conspiracy, but to also kill herself.

They did something similar in Babylon 5 years ago (simply hyping up the apprehension of a leader and then offing him on a whim)... I wanted to see MacLeish answer for his crimes, find out everything he knows, how it was all set up, who placed the bombs and how, etc.

reply

Just goes to show you there is something much much bigger out there controlling the events than Macleash. Why can't they identify that lady talking with Agent Jason? Find her first, then things may fall into place.
