Alright thoughts: This episode is really hard to watch, and I know that's entirely the point but that doesn't mean I have to like it. There are way too many messy plot threads that go nowhere such as the reporter sexting the guy with connections to the prime minister for leads on her next scoop and how an artist was able to pull off a high-profile kidnapping and accrue the technology needed to mask her presence and fool the government. I also don't care for how the immediate fallout of the indecent act is skipped over in favor of a flash forward in which he puts on a cheerful public faade while his personal life quietly falls apart- like let me see Jane's rage and disgust, show me the resulting argument from the sense of betrayal. Don't just show her walking away, that's like ordering ribs and only getting the bones! It's all just sad and a little bit mean-spirited. Again I get the point of it all, but yeah...
