@SH - it was great to see BD Wong, so that was a huge plus! Of course the drama with Rollins/Carisi at the beginning was an interesting way to start the episode. I guess if there was any flaw, it's just that they seemed to solve this case way too fast, it was far too easy. If they could have drawn out this story over a few episodes it would have been more suspenseful. For example, have it go as an unsolved case in this episode, but maybe two/three episodes down the road, solve it and get closure.
I agree! This could have easily been stretched into two or three episodes. The part with Wong could have been much more dramatic, with him being held hostage instead of merely tied up. I love when the show revisits its past. They should do it more often, considering the well they have to draw from.
Awesome episode! I'm glad it wasn't predictable either. What do you think, Chris?
