6.7 Numb
Dr. Cole: "Lions and flowers and the sheriff."
Sarah: "Oh, my."
Johnny and Sarah back together again, after twelve years apart. That was sort of major.
This season is starting to feel like a re-set button. For six seasons, nearly everything revolved around two major plot points: Johnny losing Sarah while he was in the coma, and Johnny's vision of Armageddon via Greg Stillson. Now Stillson is no longer Armageddon guy, Walt's dead, and Sarah is back with Johnny? Maybe this whole season is just one of Johnny's visions.
Okay, so six season (probably) isn't a vision, but most of this episode was. I had to go back and rewatch stuff to figure out when the extended vision started, which was when Sarah kissed Johnny, and the vision woke him up. (Sort of a gender-reversed Sleeping Beauty moment.) I thought it was different and interesting, having a Sarah-centric episode for a change. She got to be feisty crime-solving superwoman, both in and out of Johnny's vision.
There were two call-backs to the pilot episode, too: Johnny's second (and fortunately, drug-induced) coma, and Johnny and Sarah in a car, kissing. Like I said. Re-set button.
Bits and pieces:
-- Did we even think for a moment that Johnny's brand new coma was caused naturally?
-- Did Johnny also say "Freezing in Reno?"
-- In this week's hair report, Sarah's longer do looks really good on her.
Good episode. It certainly kept me awake. Three out of four stars,
Billie
