A hostage situation inside SRU.

"Good"

I guess this is pretty much the norm for Season 2 of Flashpoint. Long gone are the days of episodes in the 9's, heck, I doubt they'll even reach the 8's. The show is still a pretty cop drama, but that's also it is. It's a typical police show now with no unique traits and no innovative concepts.

The situations just are not as believable, nor as entertaining as they were last year. We knew the guy was not going to commit suicide, whereas in season 1 you would have thought it was a possibility.

Still, this was a pretty good offering, but far from great.moreless

Once again, Flashpoint shows it's much more than a cop show. Daniel, Ed's mentor, teacher, friend and role model; a former SRU member comes back to the building after having lured out the team to a bomb in the city. He's chasing the demons of his past, a certain case in which he thought he messed up and a little boy got killed. Once the team learns about that, they split up and try to handle both situations.
The most emotional and touching situation to me was the end where Ed shows his wife a locker in the garage where he keeps newspaper cutouts from his "screwups".
I do hope to see more of these emotional episodes and less of the standard cop-show mass-ware.moreless

The SRU "plays" a home game.

It was an incredibly taught hour of television. It kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the show. I fell backward in my chair at the end, a bit spent by the emotional release. This show and particularly this episode demonstrates that police procedurals are so much better when we know little about the personalities and we are able to exercise a little transference of ourselves on to the characters.
I'm also taken with the setting outside the United States, although it is Toronto, and the new peculiarities of their nomenclature and procedures.
Are there more good/great shows the CBC can offer to us?moreless

A hero's visit spirals out of control and into a stand off.

"Superb"

Another sensational episode. Has the hallmarks of what fans had come to expect from the show. Ok, so the idea wasn't the most original. In a cop drama there are certain story lines that you know are going to come up. A hero who is well respected and loved by all becomes unstable and the team has to figure out how to get a step ahead of someone who not only knows their moves but wrote the book on them. Despite the fact I knew it was coming, I loved the execution of the story. The acting was amazing, the scenes were intense and I really felt for Ed, Parker and Daniel. Daniel's spiraling out of control was almost painful to watch and it makes you think about the lives of heroes and what they have to sacrifice to keep us safe. The scenes between Ed and Daniel were so powerful that I didn't realize I had stopped breathing until the commercials came and I was out of breath. Great episode. More please.moreless

Our team is dealing with two situations. One is a possible bomb then they find out a former colleague has barricaded himself in the SRU headquarters. Jules is put in command of dealing with the bomb with Lewis and Mike. Ed and Greg, Kevin and Sam head back to SRU to help save a friend whom seems bent on taking his own life. The bomb was easier to deal with then the psychological issues back at SRU. They are dealing with Daniel who's having a mental breakdown dealing with all the ghosts from his job. Reminding the team that they have their own ghosts to deal with before the same thing happens to them.moreless

- Ed Lane: (talking down his friend) You know what else, Danny? You know what else I see? All the calls we didn't get to on time. The mothers that we couldn't talk down. The kid that thought it would be fun to pull a gun on a cop. You're not the only one who sees ghosts, Danny. I gotta tell ya, I don't know where to put them any more either. Danny: (crying) Eddie, please no. Ed: (whispers) You taught me everything I know. You made me who I am, Danny. You can't tell me that this is how it ends. You can't. Give me the gun. (Ed takes the gun, embraces Danny and they both cry) Edit
