Recoil is why men don’t have guns mounted over their junk.

Impressions:

What about this was worth the two month delay? You would also think that an episode that has about four sides fighting it out would be at least decent. Unfortunately, they busted out the magic bullets and complete lack of choreography for this one. Special Ops units stand in a line and all miss Roberta as she stands up straight twenty feet away, picking them off one by one without even looking. Apparently Special for these ‘Special’ Ops means that they rode the short SWAT van to the firefight. I want to like violence, but once they turn on the super armor and aimbot, the inner cynic takes over and I am compelled to roll my eyes and make fun of it. There was also the bizarre head soldier who tried to punch Roberta with his gun (not pistol whip her, mind you, a straight jab… holding a gun) and then had pseudo sex with her while Garcia listened. Neither had a hand free to get to the important bits so I can only assume that was really loud really wet kissing while they ground their crotches together because it was drowning out gunfire. Options 2 and 3 are that they weren’t actually wearing pants to begin with, or somebody was wearing soaking wet panties. Maybe both of them were.

Anyway, aside from usual questions of Black Lagoon, such as "how did Sawyer sneak up on the ‘Special’ Ops with a chainsaw" or "Why is the girl who tried to kill an entire bar full of people because one was making fun of her now getting pissy about killing" Garcia’s little scene with Roberta at the end was the only real move forward the plot or characters took. He freaks out when she beats the guy to death, then apparently has a seizure and lies drooling on the floor, so Roberta decides that he’s a hallucination too and you know what we do with hallucinations while trying to hide from dozens of soldiers and mercenaries? We shoots them. Well, actually, we cut away and end the episode, then show Garcia unharmed in the preview. It would really suck to have to wait another three months to find out that he’s still alive. Or be forced to reach that conclusion by having half a brain.

Preview:

Garcia’s alive! Surprise! And yet, there’s still another episode after it.
