he's been in a few things, I recognize him from 24 season 3.

Paul Blackthorne is the name.

He also played Harry Dresden in the Dresden Files

I was a big fan of this show, but the whole conspiracy premise is starting to get out of hand to the point where I wish they'd just resolve it and dream up something new. I hope this show doesn't start to go the way of Prison Break; very good season 1, almost as good season 2, huge drop off from there because the writers refuse to let the premise of the earlier seasons die and just let it spiral out of control.

Also Matt Bomer is so gay that it tilts me when they try to convince the audience of his character's heterosexuality. And his stylist should be fired for not having any clue how a slim suit jacket should look or how to pair a shirt with a tie. In the scene where he's going after Fowler at the music box unveiling his jacket was so LOLtight he looked like a female dressage competitor.

You're calling Bomer flaming while making elaborate commentary on his wardrobe?

Lol, queer eye for the queer guy.

I dunno about "elaborate commentary" compared to what goes on in EDF and The Lounge, but essentially yes. This show really stepped it up in terms of being aesthetically pleasing. From the actors/actresses to wardrobe to sets to shots of the city, everything seems to be done in a very fashion forward manner, but Neil's attire in the second half of this season has gotten progressively weirder. I probably pay more attention to non-plot aspects of a show than most people, but I'd be surprised if most people on here hadn't had a moment of "WTF is he wearing" in the last couple weeks.

It's not that I have any issue with a gay man playing straight, but in the second half of this season the show has seemed to go out of its way to push the main character's sexuality on us at unnecessary times (an example being when they decided last episode to mention Diana's live-in girlfriend, and the fact that her being a lesbian must be eating away at Neil). I think they are trying to react to some interview that Bomer did where he basically outed himself, and to the more astute viewers it looks forced.

I personally think you are overthinking it and it fit in pretty well with the scene when he first met her where the joke was that he thought he could hook up with her if he tried and Peter joked that he wasnt her type.

Maybe its just 4th wall banter given she is (probably) straight and he is gay, but i think you are pretty much grasping at straws.

It would be some despicable **** if mozzy is dead and this guy turns into even more of an emo.

damn neil is gay, never would have thought that

Wish i hadnt clicked that, lol.

bump for new episode tonight

I've been looking forward to this... this has become my favorite show, and was solidified when I was watching the USA marathon earlier today.

I will be so tilted if Mozzie gets a really lame send-off premiere.

If you just spoilt that he dies and is written out im going to track you down and shoot you on a park bench.

I'm assuming Mozzie will be fine.. since in the promo they keep referring the tonights con-team as Burke's six..... but the title of tonight's episode is Burke's Seven. Or I could just be way off and someone else will make the 7th man/woman.... but for now I'll just go along assuming it's Moz

Id prefer him to live (he adds so much to the show that he almost has to), i wont be as upset if he dies as i would be if he dies AND someone spoiled it in the thread a few hours early cos they looked it up on imdb or summit though.

I think he will live. Im excited to see what direction this show is gonna go this season.

I thought it was a great episode.... although the horse scene was pretty lame. It was nice to see Jones have a few lines strung together... although tbh, I hadn't really realized that he wasn't in on the music box thing at all until it was brought up.

oh and Sara is pretty smokin... and I would not be sad at all if she were to be in a lot of episodes in the future.

I like how they handled the Mozzie shooting. They resolved the live/die thing quickly and his role in this episode was smartly done. Good episode, I liked it.

After all the build-up re: the guy who shot Mozzie (they were pretty much trying to ID him all last season, he was built up as a brilliant special forces guy, and he shot a main character); I feel like it was kind of a waste to have him one and done, and foiled in less than inspired fashion no less.

Still a fun ep and a good distraction to have back.

I had this thought after I posted my previous review... and I think it's the one criticism I have of the show, every episode has one nice neat little package for Neil/Peter to keep the Kate death/music box story line going instead of having them struggle with the next piece a little more often.

I thought tonight was a great break from the story line to give the background story of everyone involved. It was very well done and from what I can remember... everything seemed to match up with the bits and pieces they throw in once in awhile.

Maybe it's just me but I think they've been dragging on this "who killed Kate" storyline for far too long.

Yeah its just you.

The background ep was awesome. Shows that limit their background to snippets here and there rarely pull off an ep like this, but this one absolutely nailed it on every level.
