So, apparently Showcase writers are contractually obliged to work the theme of their shows into episode titles, hence every episode of the 1st season of a time travel show having the word time in their titles.
In A Nutshell:
Kiera's cover gets blown and Carlos has to arrest her while Liber8 are looking for a power source for another time jump. So, she has to break out and stop it. Or does she?
The Good:
The episode boasts plenty of solid action scenes/gun fights, something I think the show is pretty big on. Ideally, it'll be set up like in action movie in TV show form, which, so far, seems to be the case.
At this point, Kiera's future-tech is getting tons of usage, and I gotta say it's pretty darn cool. Even the look of it when it's in use is awesome. They set up a potential long term plot element to return in the near future (serialization! woo!) that might just bite everyone in the butt. On top of all that, the writers are showing that Kiera is a bit conflicted between what she wants and what she has to do, as well as establishing her priorities and developing her as a character.
The Bad:
My major gripe with the show at this point is that they're basically using Alec as plot catalyst. He's supposed to be the character that provides the show with some more overarching mystery, but here he was just JARVIS (Iron Man's computer-voice friend) with a face. Some of Kiera's emotional moments felt a bit forced, too, but it wasn't that bad.
Final Rating: 86%
