Goofs

Around the 12:25 mark it shows a man sitting in a car. In his side view mirror you can see the reflection of Ava Gardner, yet she is standing directly to the man's left across the street. At that angle he would not be able to see her in his mirror like that.

User Reviews

Season 1 starts to heat up

It's the misdirection that makes 'Blind Spot' such an engrossing episode (and a season high point). Raylan has blood in his eyes after an attack on Ava (feels typical of this guy) but it's Boyd that points out that she might not have been the target. More evidence of the playful chemistry between Goggins and Olyphant. Surprises of all sorts crop up when Raylan's Miami past comes calling for his head. At first, I didn't like the twist with Mosley - after all, we'd just gotten to know the guy. But story-wise, it's appropriate all the same.

Excellent episode.

9/10
