catalyst2How could this be anything but good with Lucy Lawless in it? Sure enough she brought every ounce of charisma and strength I could expect of her - and more.
I liked this episode because it continued both the burn notice arc as well as showed Michael in action against of his most dangerous opponent to date. That that opponent was played by Lucy Lawless just added to the strength of the story - she was OK as the grieving mother (but was just a little "off" - but then that would be understandable given the circumstances) - but she was great as the assassin. All the power and grace that she can bring to a part was here. I wish she'd get a lead in another series - she's good enough to stand out in anything she does. I loved her part in BSG S3.
Other moments I liked:
- Michael begging on bended knee before Lucy
- the propane bomb - big BOOM! WOOHOO!
- Evelyn's very final moments - Lawless at her very best and I was stunned that she really did die - I thought she would have some convenient bin full of rubbish bags or similar to fall into so that she could escape to fight another day
- the yoghurt count was satisfied - indeed, several times!
Overall a good episode that avoided the dreaded "filler-before-the finale" feel that penultimate episodes can sometimes get.
