Season 8 Countdown: Jeremy Carver Episode Reviews, “Point of No Return”

“PointofNoReturn” is very, very special to me.  As a classic brotherly angst, “good guys struggle against bad” episode, this is the gold standard.  It doesn’t get any better than this, and this is from a series loaded with these themes up until now.   A big deal was done over this episode since it was the…

Imagine you’re Jeremy Carver, and you just got back from a long writer’s strike.  You’ve been told that you better get writing fast, for pre-production on four more episodes to close out the season needed to start yesterday and your next ep is up second.   “Long Distance Call” may be the third to last…
