Ugh, so this is my second time writing this all out, fricken Wiki...

You aren't in chat so I decided to note down my thoughts here. I enjoyed it, the episodes keep getting better which is good, and I loved Liz. Didn't really care for Ali tho, she seemed so ignorant towards her friends insecurity in the earlier flasbhbacks. The flashbacks were good, I enjoyed them, and though the ending had already been spoiled for us in 105 I still kinda felt surprised, and Balk intrigues me, surely it isn't coincidence he arrested almost all the characters? The present-day was a little more meh, was alright but pretty much stalling, though there was some good Josh bits and the ending was good. I like the little inputs of all the characters but there needs to be more, I feel like that I am only caring for characters on their centric for the most part (Did Rena even speak before that last scene? :P ) I guess that my main problem with the series so far is that the flashbacks are just a laid out backstory. They need to relate more to the present story or mirror some kind of problem, and the centric character needs a little more focus imo. There should be reason as to why the characters are remembering THIS time at THIS time, and we should know what it is. There should be something in present day that ignites the memories for the character. The present scenes with Liz and Ali did a good job at this, they had Ali apologise and a reminder of what Thomas did to Liz. But I want more things to be laid out obvious to me: Is Liz still as insecure? How does Ali and Liz's friendship compare? Does Jo recognise Liz? (If any of these things were obvious and I missed it then I apologise). There should be clearer consequences of the flashbacks in present day (other than the obvious characters being arrested and now being on the run :P ). And they should cause for some surprise.

Well I started off with intending just to write a couple of comments about the episode, but...oh well. Please don't think I'm being critical, because I'm not and I appreciate your series for what it is, I am enjoying it and I understand that you're keeping it more simple. There is one big storyline and every character is following that. And it's a good storyline, and I'm sure where it is leading won't disappoint. But I just think there is some improvements that could be made if I'm to get invested in these characters. But seriously, good work, Josh! :)
