For one thing, it's really cool to see Jordan get older, and the relationship she and Frank are carving out together is heartbreaking. For another, there's Klea Scott, the first young female agent of colour partner/pilgrim character I can recall having seen on TV.

I don't object to either of those elements in principle, especially the second. I just have a basic conceptual problem with the idea that the world kept going and Frank's life returned to something like normal, or as close as it ever passed for it.

At least one of the episodes also scared the shit out of me, in terms of re-framing (parts of) the Millennium Group as a virtual mass murder factory.

Which has already been hinted at, the way the Group will inoculate its members against the plague of the season finale, but not anyone else—including their families.
