There is no doubt that this series has challenged the loyalty of its viewers at some point. Whether you agree or not, we are all feeling something. That - to me - is good theater. There is not much TV on these days that can grab you by the jugular, drag you kicking and screaming into a deserted warehouse and a situation you do not want to face and force you to decide where your loyalties lie. Sound familiar?

Oh yes. All too familiar.

I had this conversation at home earlier. It was pointed out to me then that the writers have managed to make the viewers feel like a grid member who's been betrayed, or if not that then at least involved with what's going on as we do care and are all, like you said, 'feeling something'.
