We still have no real idea as to when we are, except that on April 29th, Janis (Christine Woods) will be in her second trimester of pregnancy, and that means she needs to get pregnant now. Which puts us at over two months ago, sometime in January. It's sort of annoying, considering in all the Aaron (Brian F. O'Byrne) scenes, we jumped from the past to the present, with no actual date. I don't really think I'm going to care about what happens on April 29th, if it's actually June.
And while I'm talking about the Aaron scenes, they want me to believe that he has some military training and the anger and animalistic temper of a man who was in prison, but he doesn't have the brains to keep his mouth shut about his daughter's whereabouts, regardless of whom he is talking to? The minute the conversation started, I knew it was bad news, and if I thought that, with the sharp people skills of a sit-on-my-butt-watching-tv-most-days civilian, than he, with his training, should not have had any difficulty seeing it too.
I suppose the fact that Demetri (John Cho) and Zoey (Gabrielle Union) didn't find the gun that is supposed to kill him on March 15th should and did excite some kind of worried reaction from me, but he should have died 2 weeks ago, so...
I want to see more Simon (Dominic Monaghan). I'm glad we are finally going to Somalia and I am kind of hoping that Simon ends up fathering Janis's baby. I realize she's gay, and so there really isn't a good reason for them sleeping together, but they have a good connection. Kind of makes you wonder how well they planned things and why they made her gay, since "who's the father" speculation and the hope that she would get some next episode would get a lot of viewers to tune in.
That's the problem - there is not enough of the science/FBI investigation stuff for it to be hugely attractive to male viewers, but the romance stuff going on is just a bit more wishywashy than those of us who watch this kind of show can get into. I want passion, not lovey-dovey.
Maybe next week's episode will get me back on track, but unlike most of the time, I'm not peppering this entry with questions about what's going to happen, or comments about all the exciting things we've learnt. Did I miss something?
