The sheer number of leaps in logic and him pointing things out that could often mean anything and saying it all must only mean the one specific thing is rediculous. If i find a cig butt on the ground next to a known smoker it doesnt mean it must of been his okay. If my daughter hangs out with a lot of girls or son with a lot of guys it dont mean there gay. Leaps in logic is all this guy seems to do and its just irritating to me, sorry, but i like logic to actually have sense and logic to it.

At first this show was pretty great but then... they said fk it and hired the cheapest writers available. Seriously, a billionaire goes to a zoo to abduct a kid? That's how you ended that "saga". No worries, I'm sure they were quickly hired by Kathleen Kennedy. Not even close to believable.

I like the show but it is opportunistic to charge $30 for a 13 episode season in HD in the android Play store. ..... Now that I've watched some of it: I used to enjoy this show, it used to be fun. Banter, Jane sidestepping people with humor. Now it's stressfull to watch it. Where's the fun (and the great writers)?
