Episode Report Card Tippi Blevins: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Patriot Acting Up

Everyone sits down to dinner. They smile and pass the carrots and cranberries. It's all very Norman Rockwell, with the addition of a super-powered alien.
Some undetermined time later, Flag picks up a copy of the Daily Planet. The headline informs us that the Vigilante Registration Act has passed. (I liked the VRA better when it was on True Blood.) Flag and his unseen cohorts seem to be in some sort of bunker, but it's hard to tell. All that's visible is a big American flag suspended horizontally from the ceiling like a tent and a few photographs pinned to a board. Everything beyond is dark. "No more hiding in the shadows," Flag says. "That's a declaration of war." He picks up a two-way radio. "Go," he tells whoever is on the other end. LaSalle walks out of a building that's festooned with "Stop the Menace!" anti-vigilante signs. He clicks a button on a remote detonator as he warps from sight. The building explodes. An anti-Blur pin flies toward us. Credits roll.
