Blindspot: A Dash of Rich Dot Com Always Makes Things Better

Mr. Dot Com made quite the impact yet again, hacking the FBI's computer system, threatening to attack a specific set of coordinates, and then quickly revealing that was all a psych-out to get the attention of Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) and company.

Turns out, Rich's illegal behaviors made him a target of the Arcadian, the world's most proficient and successful assassin, which forced him to concoct a scheme to get the FBI's attention in order to piggyback on their protection.

[...] Rich's quippy nature and playful mind games were almost too jarring for Blindspot, especially given the weekly talk of national destruction and extensive surveillance programs.

[...] in the same episode it demonstrated the value of recurring players, it too quickly burned through another potentially cool avenue with the Arcadian.

The combined forces of Dot Com and the Arcadian rightfully put the characters on full tilt, producing the kind of small-but-meaningful character moments throughout the turmoil.

Jane's lingering interest in dating like a normal person went so poorly so quickly, which is probably just a minuscule missed opportunity and a quick speed bump in the ultimate reconciliation between her and Kurt but nonetheless now feels a like wasted time.

[...] Zapata's discovery that Reade was indeed telling the truth about his involvement in Coach Jones' murder -- a detail she gleaned after finding Freddy's knife in evidence as the murder weapon -- put a button on a story that only sort of went anywhere compelling, at least when you consider how much time was spent on it in recent weeks.
