I started watching FBI because of Jeremy Sisto. This episode he was finally allowed to shine. He was given some meat to work with. And Sela Ward was much better in this episode. Up to this episode, I was very leery about the show and began wondering if I was going to continue watching. But now I think I'll keep at it and hope they continue to improve. One thing though, in this episode Dana asked Jubal "What's next for you?" Is Jeremy Sisto leaving? If that happens, I'm gone.

This Land Is Your Land"
allmoviesfan25 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The pre-title card sequence makes you think that "This Land Is Your Land" is going to be centered on Russians in New York City after one of their chemical experts is abducted at gunpoint in the Russian consulate, by masked men carrying Russian-manufactured assault rifles.
But, in reality, "This Land Is Your Land" deals with those crazy sovereign citizen types who have some...interesting ideas. Bell and OA track the abducted Russian back to those guys - a whole family of them, in fact - who need the expertise of a chemical weapons specialist to build a weapon they plan to deploy.
(After SAIC Mosier makes certain threats to a Russian intermediary when it seemed like the Russians had captured the chemical weapons guy, it's apparent that we'll be seeing more of them in future episodes, which will be good.)
Perhaps not a far-fetched a plotline as it might have been a decade or so ago - and a brilliant episode to boot. Everyone is on their game here.

Here, from Russia, it's all just ridiculous

I get it, that episodes about Chineese mobsters or the war in Afghanistan can be nonsencial for specialists, but for us they're usually OK and we buy them. But episodes about Russians - oh my God! It is a complete absurd, with stilted characters and preposterous plots. This moments you understand how ignorant the people who create this crap are.
