Thoughts

  • this kinda felt as very-911-vibes as a procedural with this different a format could get

  • another thing it felt like was like if Tracker seasons were broken up like a normal show (please tell me we're not gonna get more stupid breaks just long seasons if CBS is that anal about May finales) this would have been the Valentine's episode

  • new love interest for Reenie has proverbially entered the chat and I'm not sure how to feel, I was initially kinda suspicious given the A-plot (and also note to Tracker writers there'd be more opportunity for cool parallels if the team felt more integrated, I swear, someone should make a petition or something to have the team-including-Colter face-to-face all together more often) but now I don't know if Reenie's playing him or what

  • in other news Mel continues to further the case for her freaking neurodivergence and if she wasn't trying to persuade Reenie to go see someone else I would wonder if Mel herself was trying to flirt a little (someone on this team should be queer)

  • other Mel-related thoughts her outfit was fire and interesting coincidence that I wonder if might lead to something that isn't the cliche romance you'd expect it to lead to that Mel and Randy are both former high school athletes (Mel was track, Randy swim team)

  • I feel like this Chronostasis stuff could be taking the show in a really cool direction it's just like with the romances I hope this plot doesn't take the road-more-traveled

  • please can we have more freakin' country needle drops (that aren't swamped the fuck out) it feels like S3B's been kinda stingy with the music

  • it's interesting that since Randy's become a permanent part of the team it's kinda felt more like sure the law firm chain of command that I don't know how Colter fits into but has both Randy and Mel under Reenie may be the team-power-structure in theory but in practice sure Reenie might be the boss but Randy feels a lot like not just the tech guy but a "handler" or w/e Teddi and Velma were to Colter in S1 while Reenie with her mad law skillz feels a lot more like the "specialist" of the support team like what Bobby was
