I mean, what's going on with the reviews on this one? I thought it was a rather off the line yet brilliant episode. Sure, it didn't quite go on with the main plot and storyline, but it was an episode with a lot of nuanced emotions and subtle, implicit development on that aspect. I thought the drone pilot story was very interesting, how he was so conflicted with his job and his feelings about it, and when he finally gets to do some evident, apparent good, it somehow still looks like he feels hollowed.
And I love the dinamic that we, the viewers, are familiar with both sides of this story but we get to see a man in Nevada striking down on people all across the ocean and he doesn't really know these people and the ones he saved, for example, will probably never know who was behind the strikes. The abyss between those people yet the entangled nature of this "relation" was very interesting to watch.
Just my two cents, although I can definitely see why and even agree at some point with people who thought this was boring, uneventful or dull. Not my experience, thankfully.
Edit: Damn, he gets to "know" the people. This just elevated the episode to another level. I'm changing from an 8 score to a 9. Judge me. Awesome episode.
