Not to sound all Tuesday Morning Quarterback, but wasn’t it obvious that guy wasn’t Berlin, that Berlin was actually the guard the team questioned in the hospital bed? His story was too dramatic, it was too convenient he was in bed talking freely, and we could all see someone under the beard well-known enough to say, “Yeah, I bet that’s Berlin and he’s going to escape at the end of the episode.” It was, and he did.Īnd he wasn’t the only one who escaped. The team thinks that Berlin got away too, and we’re led to believe this is the case as well because Tom brings the agent list to Fake Berlin. Some of the guys are killed, but some survive and are captured. So a plane crashes in New York City, in a scene eerily reminiscent of 9/11 (and even includes a cameo by Today’s Matt Lauer).
Sure, we got deaths (Meera! Tom! Fake Berlin!) and things are set up for the second season rather nicely, but didn’t it seem rather predictable, as if the writers knew they had to bring the first season to a close in a particular way and set things up for next fall? If you really think about, we’re in the exact same spot we were earlier this season, only with fewer cast members and a new bad guy. This season finale pushed all of the right season finale buttons but still seemed slightly anti-climatic.
Freestone peaches pull away from the pit for easy consumption. And most importantly, we found out that the best peaches are freestone, not clingstone. Her real dad died in the fire - or did he? We found out who Berlin is, though it isn’t the guy we first thought he was.
We found out that Sam wasn’t Liz’s real dad. Sure, three or four questions were answered, but approximately 37 other new questions came to light. And that’s probably a good explanation as to what happened in the episode. In an interview on Today yesterday, James Spader told Al Roker that after this season’s finale, fans may think we know more than we actually do.
