I’m gonna say up front that I enjoyed this episode, but it’s not anything stellar. It felt like a vehicle to get Kate out of DC as fast as possible.

I should say right up front that I didn’t like “Dreamworld” nearly as much as I did “Valkyrie”. It was difficult for me to suspend my disbelief during this episode, and that kinda tainted the hour for me.
