Covert Affairs [US] [ Spoilers ]

It's definitely getting stronger, I like that it's taking itself a little more seriously and trying to be a bit more of a serious spy show than just a sitcom based in the CIA. I like that Annie seems to be growing into a proper spy too, or at least the hollywood version of one which is close enough.

Richard Dower · 21-07-2011 10:42PM

EW liked this Augie ep. as well: http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/07/21/covert-affairs-auggie-annie/

Question about that last episode: why was the terrorist travelling to America? It seem like his sister was working with the FBI to capture him but if he was wanted for killing american soldiers why would he travel there?

Suspension of belief and all that but I couldn't believe that a blind man could beat up an ex-soldier so easily.

don ramo · 24-07-2011 01:02PM

just caught up with the last 4 eps there, for a summer show it has very high production value i must say, a little dodgy CGI here and there but otherwise solid, roaming forrests and deserts, and making it look genuine is not easy to do id say, even when they returned the italian fella when annie was in the hanger at the end and it said royal air base falkland islands on the hanger door,

also great to see its the highest rated show on tuesdays, so its more or less guaranted renewal:D,

Richard Dower · 27-07-2011 08:58AM

Not a bad ep. with the return of Ben + we got to see TWO CIA babes kicking ass! + nice stuntwork, scaling down the side of the building, more location shooting...Mohinder finding out about his dad passing info to the journalist.

Very different feel to season 2, seems more mature and not soo kiddy like season 1.

FreudianSlippers · 27-07-2011 02:10PM

Agreed, good episode this week. lol @ Mohinder btw

uhhhh ok, i think you should have phrased that bit better richard;):D,

i didnt realise it had been renewed

FreudianSlippers · 09-08-2011 10:27AM

Great episode this week. Show keeps getting better every week IMO. Don't think Annie is going to read-in her sister any time soon though despite the big hints they're dropping.

Based on the promos....sis may find out

Mid season finale tonight, returns in the Autumn/Fall.

Richard Dower · 10-08-2011 06:43AM

Brilliant!...i'd say that was the best episode of the entire run, very well done....now *that* was a mature spy show episode!!...was anyone shocked at the use of the S word!! :eek:

Woah!....USA allowing bad language, great stuff!....that scene with Peter Gallagher was great, well acted to. Really solid story, probably one of the bigger budget episodes, again loads of location shooting. But....did anyone notice a specific scene?

Is Annie infected with radiation now?....in Xi Peng's office....she shook hands with him, a deliberate shot....next, Annie cuts her arm on the gate, then she places her hand on the wound, the same hand she shook Xi Peng's hand with......

Did anyone pick up on this?....are they gonna go there next season?, as expected Annie tells her sis she's a spy, but i didn't expect Danielle to kick her out......pretty good twist there!. that episode elevated CA to a genuine and legit spy show....excellent. Props to Auggie for the Star wars refrence!!!

don ramo · 10-08-2011 10:59AM

another great episode, it should be interesting to see if annie did get radiation poisoning, i doubth that yerman was stupid enough to infect himself,

the show has really grown into itself in season 2, some great episodes so far,

you have to give it them for doing such a great job on the locations, i dont think they throw a lot of money at mid summer shows on cable, which makes it all the more impressive,

i dunno if its a good thing that danielle knows, plus i think it would have been more funny seeing her trying to chase annie a bit more:D,

i dunno why there taking such a long break and not just air it completely, i heard theres only 6 more episodes to air, theres noting on IMDB past episode 9,

FreudianSlippers · 10-08-2011 04:22PM

Really great episode. Something is definitely up though with that radiation!
Danielle knowing is interesting and with kicking her out I wonder if this means that Danielle and the kids are out of the show starting in Season 2.5? Or will she magically change her mind?

Looking forward to see where they're going!

Mr E · 10-08-2011 05:58PM

That was a great episode.... I agree with Richard that Annie could be infected (and will probably be one of the lucky 20% to survive with treatment). And that will bring her and Danielle back together again.

Anyone else wince when Arthur pushed the State guy against the wall in the mens room? Watch it again - that guy really whopped his head!

Richard Dower · 10-08-2011 06:25PM

^ USA are going to air the remaning six episode in the Fall...they said it at the end of last nights ep. - so sooner then expected.

if my calculations are correct i think tuesday is november 1st, which is winter not fall, they should really fire whoevers in charge of scheduling over there:D

Richard Dower · 01-11-2011 11:37AM

Don't forget, show returns TONIGHT for six fresh episodes!

Richard Dower · 03-11-2011 05:18PM

I liked the 2x11 episode alot, the Venice location shooting was great....but, why not focus the episode ON/IN Venice?.....seemed a total waste to have it at the start and move to a totally different story for the rest of the ep.

The ETA main story wasn't too bad though, Annie had alot of chemistry with the chef. Jai....wtf?, so he played daddy to get a nice office?, eh?, Annie out on her own, she needs a built in shoe rack for Jimmy Cho's!!

Overall it was decent opener, i guess then Annie wasn't infected with radiation as not a mention, the ratings were a fair bit down on the Summer, it might have been wiser the premiere in January with White Collar:

Mr E · 03-11-2011 05:40PM

Decent enough episode... the stuff between Annie and Danielle is painful though. The sooner they resolve that, the better.

Also not sure where the story between Jai and Henry is going either... seems like a multi-episode story arc, but not one I give a crap about. No doubt it will end with one of them leaving the show.

FreudianSlippers · 03-11-2011 05:41PM

Yeah, very good opener. Glad it's back but I have to agree their location shooting could use a bit of help.

JP Liz V1 · 04-11-2011 02:28PM

The UK premiere of Covert Affairs will be shown exclusively on Really (Sky Channel 248) Mondays at 9pm from the 7th of November 2011

Richard Dower · 06-11-2011 12:37PM

WOO!....more location shooting next week!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VuPe1m9i0Y

Really liking this new direction with shooting in foreign locales, it adds alot of depth to the show, nce to see Arthur back

Mr E · 06-11-2011 01:05PM

I just twigged that all of this season's episode titles are REM songs.

Anyone want to bet that the finale will be The End Of The World As We Know It?

Richard Dower · 15-11-2011 12:10AM

Last tuesdays episode was great!, very much a Arthur-crentric episode, unlike Vienna this ep. was almost all about Berlin and shot on location!, amazing stunt/chase car scene as well, jaysus when the Porche flipped over!!...great stunt. The Auggie stuff...Devin Kelly is hecka cute though!

Sadly the ratings show it's not the right time to be showing a show like this, fell 20% and a 0.8 demo....

Mr E · 15-11-2011 07:45AM

I didn't think it was great at all. That car stunt looked good, but it was pretty stupid. If a car hit a bike like that, there is no way it would flip the way it did. It's like someone put a giant spring under it.
