Wedeck hates Mark Benford. Aaron hates Mark Benford. The Persian lady hates Mark Benford. Mark Benford hates Mark Benford. Olivia probably is going to hate Mark Benford because of the way he's bound to treat her when he finds out she's adopting Dylan. Most importantly, I hate Mark Benford.
On the bright side, things are looking up for Demetri who happens to be a character I like much more than Mark. I don't know why Zoey is so in love with Dem considering how much he ignores her and shuts her out but I do like them as a couple more than I like Olivia and Mark. Did Zoey tell Demetri that she didn't actually see him in the flash when they originally had that conversation or did they insert that in the flashback?
Continuing on a positive note, I must admit I legitimately enjoyed this episode. I like that Simon is a man who has convinced himself of the genius he possesses to the point that he can't fathom someone coming up with an idea about plasma whatit's before he did. I also like that he's so concieted that he can't understand a man could invent something so world changing and not want an ounce of credit for it.
Olivia is falling for Lloyd and the fact that she's now his son's only parental figure is only going to help cement their future relationship. That being said, the kidnapping of Lloyd was a fairly obvious plot point. Maybe I've seen one too many escape/abduction movies but the second they mentioned that Dylan was going to be "transfered" I knew it was going to end up with Lloyd having a gun to his head. On a side, why is Dylan even in the hospital? He seems to be fully recovered to this medical non-professional.
I like Keiko the office drone turned rock star as much as anyone but I really like Nicole and don't want to see her crushed by Dr. "I want to kill myself, just kidding". The kitten jar was a nice gesture.
The Iranian agent plot line bordered on being really cool but was constantly pulled off track by Mark making dumb decisions. Additionally, I'm annoyed by the fact that this show portrays the CIA as being an extra government organization. Why would a CIA agent have any control over what happens in China? Especially considering the government of the USA pointed a finger at China regarding the blackout.
No more FlashForward until March. I hope they take some time to focus on the stronger elements of the series and kill off the less enjoyable characters (Mark).
