Review for 5x17 '99 Problems'

Admittedly, I was pretty apprehensive of 99 Problems, as Julie Siege, who wrote the script to the episode, has been the least consistent writer this season in my opinion, and given the brilliance of the previous episode, I feared yet another let-down. However, the episode hit the ground running and didn’t really slow down in the forty minutes that followed. 99 Problems is a beautiful combination of character work, development for the mytharc and monster-of-the-week plot and not only follows logically from where Dark Side Of The Moon left off, but also puts all the characters into position for the (presumably first) dramatic climax of this season’s arc in the 100th episode. Fabulous! ♥

( I can’t do this alone. )

I had no opportunity to actually watch Point Of No Return yet, so please no spoilers in the comments. :)
