Speaking of Damian Lewis, I caught up on the last ep. of LIFE for the season. It seems Roman's reach goes very far, even infiltrating the FBI. Crews is still trying to rescue Reese and with the help from the Captain, Jane and Bobby, he is able to stay ahead of the brass from above who are out to bring Crews in (I am not exactly sure why. Maybe I need to watch the last two eps. again. Seems like them targeting only Crews is unusual).As expected, Rayborn isn't dead, and we also find out what was really behind the events that led to Crews' wrongful conviction and the murder of his friend and family. My memory is hazy here in that if the murders weren't supposed to happen, how did it go so wrong?
I thought everything led up to an interesting cliffhanger style finale, though I wondered how confident they were in being picked up for one more season? Ending on a note like that wouldn't be cool for the fans if they weren't able to come back. With only 5 minutes left, I didn't see how they could resolve it. Surprisingly, they did. I guess they DID realize they can't end with a cliffhanger, so while it was rushed, I appreciated their efforts.
I loved their creative use of hiding Sarah Shahi's pregnancy - all shots of her above the chest and all body shots from far away and in shadows. I guess that is another benefit of having a body double around.
The hints of Crews and Reese meaning more to each other than partners was another interesting take. The ideas were always there, even from season 1, but it got pushed far back to the back burner for a while. Suddenly, her kidnapping really brought out all the little signs. It'll be interesting to see what they do next season, hoping there is a next season.
Come on NBC! Don't let go of the one solid show you have going for you that isn't Law & Order or a comedy. At least I no longer have to worry about 30 Rock getting renewed.
