The little stuff amused me. Helping the older lady. Smashing Business Asshole's bag. The casual badassery as he knocked out the asshole. And Owen. "Sorry. Sometimes it's just faster." When he saw the noisy boy and decided yes he would have a drink. The International Department of Homeland Security. He's probably just dehydrated. Lots of people sleep on the redeye. We need another blanket. And zip ties. And get the child drunk, please. Hersch being concerned that Shaw's new employers are treating her right. That salt and pepper is like catnip to soccer moms.

And then there were the fights. We saw more Badass!John than we saw up to The Crossing. And Finch! I said to myself come on Harold I know you've done it in Flight Simulator AND THEN HE GOT OUT THE CONTOLLER!


I liked the awkwardness at the end. They're always awkward when they really mean what they say. And I thought John looked like he thought Harold might say "no." Or maybe he just didn't know how to say "I want to come back."
