    Another good episode

    This is the second good episode in a row. Finally got me interested in this show again. I only liked 5 episodes from last season but even then, I didn't love them. Besides the first 3 episodes, which were okay except episode 3. I actually like the route they're going in and the arcs / storylines seem good and have me intrigued to find out more and what's gonna happen. I just didn't expect it to get this good after the previous few and me not enjoying last season as much but it's fun again and seems to have found a better balance and tone and vibe.

    Decker really went out with a bang and I actually didn't see that coming. If I didn't already like Gertrude now I actually like her more!! And I love seeing them do missions without the intersect. I like that he finally seems content without it. Even at season 4 in the end he thinks he needed it to save Sarah. And at the start of this season he missed it. It's always been he's not a spy without it, it's a burden or it turns him into something he doesn't want. It was kind of refreshing to see him without it and managing without it. I also loved the prison scenes. Lester actually had me cracking up and Casey being stuck in there with him. I just thought it was entertaining. Emotional ending as well with Casey and Gertrude. Good episode.

    Only thing I didn't like was the naked cult scene which wasn't too long at least. It was funny at first but they were blurred and then it didn't really make sense. Then it just seemed random but i that's about it.

    I hope there's 3 good episodes in a row now.

    Hilarious!

    This episode was so funny! Lester is cracking me up! Of course he becomes number one where he currently resides. He's a con man, playah!! Lol

    Morgan is great I. This episode. The real Morgan. Hope he gets completely better.

    Casey, oh my! He's so stinkin' funny! He has many sides, we are discovering. He and his daughter are great too!

    Love Awesome and Ellie, they are such a cool couple! And their baby is precious!

    This one was exciting and has a crazy ending! My goodness, I wonder what's going to happen next. I cannot imagine where they go from here. I'll need to continue my binge watching! Lol.

      In the beginning of the episode, as Chuck and Sarah are leaving the prison, a gate is open for a passing cop car. A guard goes to close the gate, the shot changes, and suddenly the gate is closed with no guard in sight.

      Chuck Bartowski: [to Freddie] You know what? You actually have a little hiccup there at the bottom of your page. The compiler can't optimize a value away like that. You just gotta...

      [Chuck types on Freddie's keyboard]

      Chuck Bartowski: There you go. Rookie mistake. I'm sure it won't happen again. Oh, I'm losing, better get back to work.

      [Chuck works on his terminal]

      Chuck Bartowski: I forgot something. I'm really good at this.
