This is the discussion thread for those of you who want to ruthlessly investigate “Eyes” and its succeeding episodes as vigorously as Col. Ari Ben Zayn would have!

Not gonna lie. It is a crime we never saw that motorcycle again.
Yeah, it’s like Chekhov said, “If you show a motorcycle in Act I…” 😉
A great episode after watching Grail. Some nice little plot points keeping the Sinclair/Mimbari storyline ticking along.
Maybe one that’s better designed for being watched as it originally was rather than as it’s watched now. When one watches all of season one in a compressed period of time, Eyes is a little too much like a combination of And the Sky, Full of Stars and Survivors.
With a touch of By Any Means Necessary in its moustache-twirling villain – although to be fair, Eyes does give Ben Zayn a believable personal motive for his vendetta, and there’s a hint that he’s otherwise a competent officer with a distinguished career. The performance may perhaps be more at fault than the writing in making the character so uninterestingly transparent a bad guy.
But I inevitably view this episode with the knowledge that Sinclair’s not going to be around for long anyway, and that weakens its impact for me.
I missed Chip. 🙁
Also you should have an extra special episode that is just about Jeffrey Combs. Yes.
