katikatYou know, I'm not sure I like the shift here, from corrupt companies to political matters. I mean, a software company? A pharmaceutical company? Awesome. Iran? African dictators? Not so much, to be honest.
Also, something feels a bit... off about the show. I don't know what. If it's the characters or the writing or, as mentioned above, the cases they take now. But something is... different. I'm getting this strange vibe. It feels... cheaper, the show, I mean. I don't know if they got their budget cut or something, but even the exteriors/interiors feel different, less... colorful and more sterile. I don't know *hands*
But, gosh, Nate has become an even bigger a-hole than before. I didn't think it was possible. The way he now risks everybody's lives, putting them in danger and not even caring, laughing it off... No wonder Eliot was so pissed at him. I loved the scene where he told Nate that Nate should remember what Eliot did to people who betrayed the team.
Whom I really like now, though, is Sophie. It's refreshing that she's not trying to fix Nate anymore. She still cares about him but she won't let him push her around anymore, she won't let him put her down and undermine her own self-respect. That's what I missed in S1 and S2, Sophie as a person, not just an extension of Nate's.
I'm also curious about the Moreau guy they are after. I know bits and pieces - you can't really avoid those, especially on Tumblr with its gifs - but I don't know the details. I'm really looking forward to this arc.
