Nothing about Sandstorm syncs with the writing from last season.
In what way? We knew last season that Sandstorm was focused on government corruption; most of the cases revealed in Jane's tattoos were about government agents abusing their authority... protecting criminals, etc... turns out now, they are planning to overthrow the government they view as so corrupt.
And her telling Jane to kill an innocent guy to keep her cover is idiotic. This is the FBI, not a Hollywood secret covert government agency operating outside the law.
Actually, Nas isn't part of the FBI, she's from the NSA... which actually IS, in general, a Hollywood secret covert government agency operating outside the law.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency"In 2013, the extent of some of the NSA's secret surveillance programs was revealed to the public by Edward Snowden. According to the leaked documents, the NSA intercepts the communications of over a billion people worldwide, many of whom are American citizens, and tracks the movement of hundreds of millions of people using cellphones. "As for where they're going with the the therapist, Weller's baby, Reade's repressed tragedy, etc just means they still have no idea and they're trying to throw a bunch of crap on top to hide that fact.
Well... yeah. I think the 'therapist thing' is meant to be a trail of breadcrumbs that eventually reveals him to be the mole. But yeah, suprise-pregnancies and repressed childhood traumas are definitely soap opera material.
I'll agree... The show should be focusing on action, on conspiracies and 'covert' stuff. season 1 did a much better job keeping the soapy stuff subdued. Patterson had a bf who got killed, Weller thought Jane was his childhood-crush... that was as far as it went. But then, Mayfair being crooked in the past? THAT was more 'spy drama' and it fit in better with the premise.
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.
