The DSR - Episode 2x14 - Recompense

Another solid episode from The DSR stable. I might as well stop saying that, because that is so for nearly every single episode of this damn show! Its just SO great...

So, not much to say on this one. I really enjoyed how we got a little break from some of the bigger events of the past few episodes. The only thing we really saw related to that was with Sonja, but it didn't seem like the focus in this one, which is just a nice break from that action.

I enjoyed to get a look at the almost forgotten Ultra group from way back in 1x05 - The Ultra Directive. For real, I almost forgot all about them and as soon as Kendall muttered the word 'Ultra', I remembered ad thought, 'FINALLY!!' On top of that, I'm a HUGE Michael Emerson fan. As in, I'd be pissed if they killed him off of Lost. So, I'm quite interested to see how much of a prime character he becomes in the future of the season and hopefully the series! I felt like he was the perfect fit for that character. Now all your gonna tell me is that he auditioned for the part of Ethan way back when! (Comic-Con 2009 Lost Panel joke. If you haven't seen it, then go watch it!!)

I did have a few problems with this one though. I felt Jai was the most Sawyer-ish then in a LONG time. It didn't really stand out until he made the comment to the Lupans about Chewbacca, and then I realized, 'wait, he's been like almost this whole episode, with his personality and reactions.'

This isn't really as much of a problem, but a question. Who is this Petacchi person that Mia mentioned at the end of the episode. I might have missed that name, but I also looked in the guest stars for the episode on the forum and it didn't say that name at all. Or was this meant to confuse me??

Overall, not my favorite by far, but not quite my least favorite either. I just felt like this episode needed that little extra 'zing!' that I just wasn't feeling, in my opinion...
