Re-watch thoughts

This episode moves the pieces on the board in an interesting and unexpected way, so that the scene is set for the two hour finale, it has a negative aspect in how a certain showdown felt underwhelming, but it is overall an intelligently written episode that takes advantage of the audience assumptions, particularly when it comes to Lincoln and what we expect of his character.
