This show is certainly getting better. No, really! It shows that Peter Fleming is starting to fall apart, and that Vince Faraday is starting to use his head. The woman Dice seems to see the world like a Terminator robot. She might make a reappearance.moreless

This episode was quite thought-provoking. It quite clearly demonstrates that being able to see the future is a bad idea. It was a good thing that the device that allows someone to see into the future was destroyed. Orwell calling Vince out on his lack of thinking really needed to happen. His strategy to pin a murder on Chess sounds like a good strategy. It is too bad that Dice (the daughter of one of Chess's victims) is psychopathic and is only interested in killing Peter Fleming. It seems quite ironic that Vince has to save Fleming twice. Is Peter Fleming completely losing it, or does he truly have an old friend who will appear in the flesh? Those contact lenses had not been shown in a while. It will be interesting to see where that goes. Vince's wife and son need more respect. Their scenes are meant to show some normal people living normal lives. Also, the tightrope walk scene is misunderstood. It takes years to master it, so why should Vince master it in hours? He is a normal human being, not a god. All in all, a great episode.moreless

i absolutely loveD the idea of this show but they're absolutely ruining it for me! I can look past the future telling assassin who failed to kill Chess with her first try. I can even get past the terrible terrible acting of little Faraday. what I can't get pass this episode is the Trance Rope Walking. really? so the famous Cop and the hero Cape had to make life harder instead of just using a Zip Line. heck! he could have even improvise by tying a belt around his waist and just pulling or pushing himself to the other building. every episode, they keep making him doing stupid stuff.

well, I have no more doubt in my mind that this show is circling down the drain and only a miracle can save it.moreless

  Max: Welcome to Wonderland.
