Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

43. "RE: Season 8 Premier - Hours 4pm to..."
There's been a lot to complain about this year. The gimmick for bringing Renee back (infiltrating the Russian mob) was weak and pointless, since that whole story line went nowhere. The Dana/Jenny story was worse than pointless and just seemed to be low-quality filler. The IRK storylines (the premier cheats on his wife; the first couple are de facto separated; the US is upset as he cracks down on his enemies (in an operation that seemingly took minutes)) were just dumb.
Last week was the first time that we started to focus on the real plot -- the Manhattan nuke -- and this episode really got it moving. The silly Dana/Jenny stuff came to an end with the murder of the parole officer. The silly "we don't trust Chloe" plots came to an end with last week's "el stupido" topper over fighting about the recovery from the EMP. (You know, if we wanted to have a silly Chloe backplot, I would have enjoyed learning how she was dealing with her baby when she had to stay at work all night. But her family has disappeared. Probably just as well, since we were stuck with Dana/Jenny's.) Renee came back in after the crazy meltdown. The diplomatic crisis gives us a reason to get Logan back in.
Let's hope there's no more filler from here on out. We've had to watch too much already.
