It was past midnight by the time I returned from the
library. [Thursday] So, I've started to view the
finale of the 3rd season, using the Global television
website. And I've read a little bit. I know that Andy
made a big decision; and that Sam's inability to be
verbal enough [regarding his feelings for Andy] has
finally...well, you drive far enough with the parking
brake on, and you eventually reach a point where
the car simply cannot go any further.
More later...I've got some watching to do!!! :)))

Okay. I'm back [Sept. 13]. I must admit that I found
the moment when Sam tells Andy that he loves her,
a bit awkward. Maybe this is what the writers had in
mind, I don't know. After all, when it comes to saying,
"I love you.", Sam Swarek is, basically, a rookie. So, I
guess that it's no surprise that his timing might be a
little off. Which it was. She was holding a grenade,
in one hand.

I would've liked to see Sam try to calm Andy down, by
saying the words.
ANDY
My God...Ga...vomit...I'm going
to...Sam...going t'vomit...
SAM
(with test pilot cool)
Andy. Andy. Look at me. Look
at me...I love you.
ANDY
Wha...what?
SAM
(slight grin)
You heard me.

But, despite my initial reservations, the episode's last
shot - in darkness, of a car taking Andy & Nick on a
secret, high risk deep cover assignment-really won me
over, again. The only lights in this scene are from this
car, and the other vehicles on the highway. Their car
slowly merges with the others, and blends in...
Such a simple shot. We know that Sam waits for Andy,
at the bar. But we know what he does not.
