So this week, instead of the show using just one plot to recycle, they combined two of them and churned it out for an episode. With soapy character moments thrown in to the episode in what passes for "character development".
It started off as the usual "we gotta stop the cartel's smuggling operation" episode, but then it morphed into "a cartel is working with a shadowy military group" episode. One with a "super dangerous weapon" that conveniently can't be located until it is dramatically convenient for it to do so.
It was also a weapon found on the same soundstage the show lazily recycles for all its warehouses that the team went on its usual a wild goose chase just to recover.
Oh, and Hondo got the kill shot...just before the baddie could shoot down the plane. For what reason he wanted to shoot that plane, I'll never know.
Ho hum.
Only real positives from this episode are Leroy kinda/sorta getting behind Hondo's initiative and seeing Kenny Johnson's daughter, who, while still having some work to do, might actually have some acting chops in her.
Everything else was pretty dull, all told.
Programming note- according to TheFutonCritic, there will be no show next week. It comes back a week later for "Old School Cool" (which I'll guess will be an episode about Hondo Sr.), followed by three weeks of repeats and then three weeks of new episodes starting on Feb. 27 and concluding the Sunday before "March Madness" begins. After that, I don't know when the show comes back.
