Great episode with a snag

Warning: Spoilers
I don't want to echo a lot of other reviews. A great episode that felt fresh.

Except the action scenes felt too static and somehow all the shooting felt fake because everybody forgot to feign recoil. It looks so odd when the actors are just holding their guns and don't seem to be aware of when they are shooting.

I don't know why in this episode this caught my eye all the time. The director did several good episodes before this one so it's a mystery to me why the action felt so clunky. There is a shot where Reese is just walking very wooden holding a gun to one side an then to the other while shooting is going on. It's line there is a disconnect between the actors and the make-believe that there are enemies behind the camera.

Other than that a great episode.
