This honestly is my least favorite of all of the 3 season premieres so far...
The episode was a good one. It appeared to have a goal of establishing everything for the new season, which of course is something that needs to be done. The sturcture of the episode was a strange one, especially no Teaser at the beginning of the script.
The flashes of Jai's memory were well played and were in good places, as to not entirely screw up the flow of the scene, I felt like they actually brought the scene together with a quick flash of new information.
For sure, everything has changed this time around, with the new location in New York instead of Nevada, as well as new people involved with the department. A great ending with the surprise 'that's my wife' line from Kendall. That dramtic beat before the DSR is cut to was great.
I did feel the episode's pacing not as good as some others, but at the same time, I realize that this episode was more about establishing the new location, characters, etc. and giving important information to the upcoming season, so it wasn't that big of a deal, as I had the idea of what the purpose was. Was I even right? I hope I was.
A really good episode nonetheless. And don't worry that this one didn't draw me in all that much. The first few episodes of the past 2 seasons have been the same way, so its nothing I was surprised about. Its better to get all the big questions from the previous season, as well as the establishing of things in the new season, out of the way so it doesn't get in the way later. Really good, and I love the new location by the way, as now they'll have to deal the hustle and bustle of NYC.
The 'silver surfer' as Marshall would call it (speaking of which, I love Marshall's character already!) is interesting and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of the mysterious 'person'.
Oh, and you put my poor Sara in a wheelchair, as well as Sonja in and out of a coma. You really are an evil bastard aren't you, Tony? Although, I get that feeling Sara might be healed by Jai... but that is just theory number one for this LONG season!
