Another show that took an incredibly long time to get back on the air is Touch. The show was originally suppose to return in October. Well, that didn't work out, huh? They pushed this back another 4 months. Much like my views regarding how NBC is handling Revolution, FOX is clearly dropping the ball with Touch as I know most will have assumed this was cancelled already. Anyway, onto the actual episode at hand....

I was able to immediately get right back into the groove of the show and this coming after the fact that I can't remember much of what happened in Season 1. But as soon as you pick up the thread of the conspiracies, everything fell back into place. I like the addition of Lukas Haas as Calvin, another 'Super Genius' on the show. Well, that's what we were led to believe. The big twist at the end is that he is holding Amelia against her will. My guess is that he is getting all the numbers and formulas from her and passing it off as his own. But what his end game is, I don't know. He botched a billion dollar contract on purpose. So, money doesn't seem to interest him. Anyway, it's a nice twist that adds to the show.

Glad to see Maria Bello sticking around for a while. I was sure that she would only be doing a couple of episodes before they wrote her off the show.

Starting with the last episode and continuing with this one, the show is starting to feel more like 24. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not sure. I do like that so far this season the plot is more geared toward a larger arc which makes it more of a serial, which I am a huge fan of. But I also liked those "stand alone" episodes from Season 1. There is a big addition this season and that is the Serial Killer guy who is killing off people that have the same ability as Jake, which adds more tension to the show. This is where the 24 angle kicks in as Martin is going to eventually have a showdown with this guy and it's not gonna be pretty. Bring on Jack Bauer!

Well, Martin and Lucy just took a step closer in figuring out who or more to the point, what the objective is by the 'man with the neck scar'. Its gotta be incredibly scary and creepy for Lucy to find a photo of him in the background at Amelia's birthday party. Speaking of Amelia, I like the character. I wonder if she is playing her captor's for her own endgame. I would imagine that someone with her special skills could easily walk out the front door given that she can "see things into the future" based on patterns.

I wasn't expecting them to give up the identity of the Serial Killer so soon. I figured it would be a cat and mouse chase as Martin tracked down who he is and what his purpose is, which could have run the entire season. Should have known that as soon as Avram popped up that he would be the one to figured this all out. Some pretty good twist at the end. Now Martin has to worry about 2 people (Calvin and Killer) coming for Jake.

Another fantastic episode. I loved how Jake and Amelia were able to "communicate" with each other by way of Donkey Kong and then find each other down at the pier. I thought the scene with Lucy finding and then losing Amelia again was heartbreaking. To get that close to reconnecting with a child, only to have them snatched away again is brutal. I'm not surprised that this would be a moment where she would later run down Calvin in the parking lot with her truck. Not sure if he is dead. My guess he is not and that she will take him hostage as leverage to get her daughter back. The other big reveal is that we find out that the Serial Killer is actually one of the 36, the same people he is hunting down.

So, my guess is that Astor Corp is the one that killed Calvin's Mother and took Amelia away. It's the obvious choice and I'm pretty sure that it was Calvin's partner, the one from earlier in the season that let Martin take the files from the computer. He hasn't been seen since and that's why I think it's him. I say it's the obvious choice and it's not entirely exciting from a writing stand point to go there. So, that leads me to believe we have another entry into the equation. Who or what that is remains to be seen.

Obviously it's not the Serial Killer Priest. But he did arrive in L.A. at the end of the episode. Not sure what to make of his character. He was being groomed as the shows Villain. But in this episode, they have him save the hiker, talk him out of suicide and returned to his family unharmed. So, does this mean that the character will in fact be the one that "saves" Jake at the end of the day, only to reveal and far more sinister villain? The options of where the story can go seems to be unlimited.

It's official, the series after just only 7 episodes into the second season has jumped the shark. Good gawd, that was a pretty bad episode to begin with. The pacing was just weird, the music with that constant 'droning' was unbearable to listen to, but the kicker was Jake communicating telepathically. I was able to at least buy it that he could with Amelia, but when he started having a conversation with Guillermo, the serial killer, that's when I slapped my forehead and said 'what the f*ck'. Sheesh, what was this? Yes, I get that Guillermo has the same ability....but still.
