I'm hoping that, since Guerrero seems to have taken her under his wing, she'll get a lot less dopey/impulsive and a lot more scary/capable soon.
Guerrero is my new hero.
would it be possible for jakie earl haley to use the word "dude" a couple more times?
Am I the only one thinking that Mark Valley is starting to look like Mel Gibson as he matures?

Guerrero was my old hero.
I think they are deliberately playing up the "annoying overzealous sidekick wannabe" angle on Ames just so the character's transition into a full-rounded person is more obvious. Not sure if that's the right thing to do but it's a bit heavy-handed. She has yet to learn when the "look at me I'm a distraction!!" misdirection is needed and when it's not.
I liked the episode but something still isn't right, can't put my finger on it. Like the reveal about the husband at the end- was that needed? It kind of cheapened the redemption for Chance knowing that the prof was a blackmailer and was gonna ditch his wife and get away with millions...

i like that she annoys the hell out of guerrero, i always got the feeling he did have a soft spot somewhere. whether this develops into 'ames' the new dudeteam member, or 'ames' the object lesson in a later episode about why guerrero is all lonesome remains to be seen.|

with how the final ep last season concluded, followed by the short mad dash for laverne, followed by chance in tibet and all in about 15 min, it felt like they were trying a different track on the absolution path rather than k.w. from the s1final. we may still see what happened around that circumstance in a flashback ep for crappy boss closure but suggestions of cancellation may have messed the opportunity (actor contracts/schedules, etc) to use that in s2e1.
i also think the suggestion of redemption is stronger by not revealing that information, it would have simply 'justified' some of what chance had done. to paraphrase 'they must have done something' rather than suggest that no one he killed is unflawed, allows for degrees of freedom.

Yes, it's called retooling the show. Someone somewhere thought the show needed female regulars that help than simply being the damsel/love interest of the week.
CW is also retooling Nikita because they are losing a large chunk of young women from Vampire Diaries, so they are going to add a some romance for Nikita during the 2nd half of the season.

Another good episode. I'm really liking Ilsa Pucci but Ames is kind of annoying.
