    Howard is the Fulcrum (the Two Howards, That Is)

    Now there are agents all over the place. There are agents on the streets. There are agents in a kind of prison. The former meek Howard has been moved to Echo where information is culled from conversations with a kind of counselor. Mistaken identity is prominent now as Howard as he is blamed by some of the prisoner who were incarcerated because of his counterpart. Lots of things come to the fore. We also have that metal case. What is in there? Good setup to continue the series.

    i don't think it is necessary for me to

    Rate individual episodes when they are all the same. Boring, uneventful...i'm not interested. But...this wasn't as bad as an episode i gave a 3 to.

    It is still absolutely dreadful...but not as bad as worse ones.

    There's a feather in your cap.

    Plot Thickens

    I think I might have been too rough when I wrote the review for the previous episode. It was repetitive and dragged too much, yes, but it gave some small bits of information that really ignited this episode. 'Something Borrowed' was a nice exciting episode with a lot of going on, and without turning things even more confusing. One thing I learned is, that we need more Howard to keep things more interesting, and not just him (them) bemoan about the relationship with Emily.

    We can now be certain that the rings of agents from both sides are quite big, and these spy games have been going for a long time.

    The plot thickens and the game is revving up.
