Fantastic Guest Performances, 29 March 2009
9/10
Author: meowbark_9899 from United States

I've never done one of these before, but I felt the need to say something about this episode after seeing the fantastic performances given by both Carol Burnett and Matthew Lillard. The interrogation scene with Matthew's character was incredible--I don't remember seeing him shine like that in a role for a very long time and it was great to see him doing this kind of character. The breakdown he has after Olivia makes him believe Birdie is giving him up is incredible and very realistic for someone in his situation--I was very, very impressed with his overall performance. And it was great to see Carol Burnett in the Black Widow role--she was so subtle and menacing in her behavior and she also did a fantastic job making her character believable, but then, I'm generally impressed with everything she does.

Overall, the episode was very good, with fantastic performances by both guest stars.
