Gee, Patrick...my son and I were both pretty disappointed with the episode.

Really...not much happened involving the miniature killer...except for the flashback scenes you mentioned letting us in on how the crime went down. (And I'm still not sure how she lowered the car onto Sara's arm.)

Nearly half the show was simply Sara wandering the desert...with us left to wonder whether the team would make it to her on time. And the resolution boils down to:

Spoiler:

It seemed like the stuff of Saturday matinee serials. Not much high-tech detective work there. Another main clue was found:

Spoiler:

I'm not usually this negative about a show I've been looking forward to for months. But this one really left me disappointed.

(And I'm still not sure how she lowered the car onto Sara's arm.) Nearly half the show was simply Sara wandering the desert...with us left to wonder whether the team would make it to her on time. And the resolution boils down to: Spoiler: Nick spotting a momentary reflection (of the afore-mentioned rear-view mirror) while blindly driving down a desert highway. "Pull over here! Now!" It seemed like the stuff of Saturday matinee serials. Not much high-tech detective work there. Another main clue was found: Spoiler: written underneath a drawing of Sara left on the killer's wall right out in plain view! (the phone number of the junkyard where the killer purchased the car.) And this was after Nick was frustrated that "he wasn't leaving until he found something!" I'm not usually this negative about a show I've been looking forward to for months. But this one really left me disappointed. Spoiler: I mean...you just KNEW they were going to find her at the last minute and everything was going to be all right. Cheesy. No real drama. Nothing that utilized the best features of the show itself. There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!
