Worst Episode Show Deteriorating

The ambush scene was ridiculous. First, the mercenary they had guarding Shepherd gets knocked out by a haymaker from Remi. On top of that he acted surprised that he was in the middle of an ambush when the door opened. Why was he looking at the floor after their tires just got spiked?
Then went does the FBI send Weller all by himself to get her? Then they do it again in the last scene when the whole team came up with a plan to get her.
This episode was written terribly.

The first arc was fine (seasons 1+2), not great, but fine. But with season 3, the show went from a crime/thriller episodal to a action-filled buddy-comedy where everything is turned up to 11 all the time.. I'm halfway through S3 so far, and I'm so close to just stopping all together. It feels like mental-flossing with razor-wire so far...

I can't agree more. Why I continue is beyond me. Fortunately, with on-demand, I usually watch with it on background as I do other things. The story lines are ridiculous, and the chemistry between Jane and Kurt is zero. And of course my favorite bug-a boo, the absence of razors. (As if the director of the FBI would go into a meeting with someone on Air Force One and not shave.)

For some reason I'm still watching. When I start a show for 3 seasons it's hard for me to quit cold turkey even if it's bad. It has to be extremely bad for me to give up. But this writing is so childish it's crazy. They always find a magic solution. The last episode when Bill Nye just dismantles a bomb completely off camera is beyond cheap. A bomb that just had them perplexed he comes and just stops it in the blink of an eye with zero explanation.
And every time they're stuck his daughter Patterson magically figures something out all of a sudden. It happens every episode for the last two seasons.
