This last episode was the first time I found myself really annoyed with Mike's behavior. Not that I thought he was some sort of saint or anything before 'Tinker Bell', I just found it a lot easier to defend his actions or general attitude toward the other agents.
I couldn't do so in last night's episode, however. Mike came off so damn condescending and a bit pompous. If Mike weren't being such a ****, I'd be able to enjoy him and Paige shacking up, but as it stands, I'm uninterested.
I was a bit bummed to see Bates go. It seemed like he was a stand up guy, and at the very least, not a complete loose cannon like Jakes. But I suppose in order to make this show work, you gotta have a loose cannon, and Jakes plays that role very well. Self-destructive, despondent, apathetic, and loyal to a fault, at least when it comes to Briggs. I do wonder if the time will ever come when Johnny gets to haul off and knock Jakes through a wall or something. This is now two times that Jakes has assaulted Johnny. Both times he was sucker punched. Well, this time he was sucker head-butted.
I'm glad Johnny's getting his time to shine, but immediately, I'm seeing parallels to the Belo storyline last season. Hopefully they take this in a different direction, or at the very least, kick it up a notch or two. I don't wanna see a rehash of the same storyline with a Hispanic villain in place of an African one.
