Guilty until proven innocent.
The way I figure it, these guys have earned a little something from me. It is not just that I am suspending "rational though" just because they have done a good job in the past. In fact, I really didn't dig the episode all that much.
The thing is that "they have a plan" and so far have done a good job spinning this yarn. Looks like they needed to kill Billy. Maybe they mailed in an episode to get the job done. The thing that we didn't ask ourselves is: Why?
I think the focus can now (hopefully slowly and not bash it over our heads) turn to the loss in the president's life. I mean, the President said it herself that Billy is the closest thing to family that she has left. Well, now who will she turn to as a confidant and trusted advisor? What impact will their role have? I think those are the questions that are far more interesting than the swiss cheese holes in the script last week.
Speaking of... I agree about the whole Apollo hostage thing. There is no WAY that Apollo is that stupid. The fact that it makes me mad is becuase I know him. They did a good job developing the charachter and THAT is why it is a good show. Lets stop waiting for the show to jump the shark and see what develops.
