POI 03x22: A House Divided
@the-real-surfski and I (aw yeah the husband joined tumblr) watched this one last night. My notes aren’t super detailed because I was painting my nails while watching but I do have some thoughts and some links and gifs. Let’s go!
So look, this was really a transition episode. You had big action in Beta and we’re largely still reacting to that and setting the table for what will clearly be big action in the season finale. And as a a reaction and table setting episode this was fine.
I really appreciated getting Collier’s backstory. Because a character like Collier makes you wonder what could possibly make him hold the views he does, including that extreme violence is the answer. I don’t think we got all the way from normal law student to “burn the country to the ground” but I liked seeing the first step on that path.
And in general, a thing that the show has done well all along, but especially this season, is to create really compelling and dynamic villains and have them played by phenomenal, magnetic actors.
In addition to Collier, taking Control and Greer and putting them in tense conversations with other great actors and let them go to town with a ton of close ups is a very good choice.
All of the interaction between these two was fantastic.
I know Shoot is a thing that’s coming, but I think even if I didn’t I would be taking a real hard look at how this chemistry is developing.
Obviously I very much appreciated how intensely focused John was on getting Harold back. To whit, this compilation.
But also, when Root told Shaw that they wouldn’t get to Harold in time, Shaw was clearly distraught and I just love the relationship between Shaw and Harold so much.
And they are both so focused on getting Harold back that they’re willing to work with Hersh (who is also a really effective villain).
Sooo yeah, geared up for the season finale!
