Apples – Monroe has an iPod classic. Nick sneaks his iPhone into his hospital bed.
So this was based a little bit on Jack and the Beanstalk. I bet if you charted the number of “story connections” in each episode it would be a downward sloping line. The last episode didn’t have many and this one has even less. I really like the connections and mourn their loss. I wonder if this was a conscious decision of the writers or what.
Some great character development in this one. We learn that Hank is capable of acting outside of the law – when he tells Nick that he lost the videotape that might have acquitted Stokes. We learn that Juliette keeps her cool in an emergency – when he passed by the kitchen knives and grabbed the pot of water. We also witnessed that she deeply cares about Nick and is very emotional about him being in danger despite the fact that she can put on a brave face and joke about it with Nick in the hospital. We see another side of Renard too; he is extremely concerned and protective about his men and his city. I guess we knew this already – but he is very possessive about Portland and doesn’t like it when things come and try to mess up “his” town.
This was a much more violent episode than we have seen before. And more police work than usual, too. Maybe that's why some people didn't like it. I'm not sure that the violence and police work is why I liked it. I think it was the character development and the opportunity for some of the supporting cast to get some more screen time while Nick recovers in the hospital.
Ha! I totally didn't catch that. Nice catch! Oh, and there was gold involved there, too.
