Finally ....

I'm very Impressed with this show .. not because of how good .. no .. because McG is involved and I liked it .. (I had to say that given this is my only review on this show).

However, I said Finally because "John Casey" is one of my fav. character in this show and finally this gave him a story and inserted him in the show properly ... looking how this show's characters progressed I was hoping for an episode like this one ..

Looking forward for the new season and I hope it's as good as this one or even better ..

P.S. NICE REFERENCE TO CASABLANCA ..
