The Roadblock benefitted from being as fleshed out as it was and I'm glad, based on the episode, that goat racing wasn't a standalone task. I'm very glad TAR is back, but perhaps the premiere should've been 90 minutes.

Per the airport scenes, I feel like those have been few and far between in recent seasons in general. Back in the earlier seasons when teams had to search for their own flights, buy their own tickets, etc., there was more to show. Now that, if I remember correctly, everything is already reserved for them for the most part, it kinda takes that out. I could be drawing a blank (I probably am because I feel like there was an episode or two last season) but the last time I remember teams having to find their own flights and buy their own tickets (or at least that being shown) was final 4 of TAR 30 and I think that was the only time that season. That was also what felt like the one time we randomly learned about the dynamics between the teams too so it was pretty weird. Anyway, it's just the new age of TAR editing, I guess.

That, or nothing really standoutish happens. Usually, the only times we've seen airport scenes in the new age of TAR is when teams were at risk of missing or making a flight (Nicole & Victor) or some ticket counter drama occurring (Nicky & Kim vs. Tim & Marie).

Ah, yes, lost passports, missed flights and the sort. Those are pretty much our only airport scenes these days.

I remember putting a firefighting task under the wishlist way before TAR27 even happened. Sometimes I think the task producers go here just to steal some ideas. :lol:
theschnauzers:
It occurred to me that the Yield might have elements of the old and lamented Fast Forward. Each team will get once chance to Yield another team during the Race. This Yield would remain available as long as there’s a team remaining that hasn’t used it. How long a team will be yielded I have no idea, but this will bring back an element that has been missing since the FF disappeared from aTAR.
It was a good opening leg. They were very careful not to use the words “pit stop” so it was clear that there wasn’t going to be one, and be a KOR leg.
OMGitsGARRET:
I enjoyed the episode for sure! But I also agree with some other people here that it also felt very rushed from an editing standpoint at times. Will have to re-watch it to notice anything I missed the first time around.
I think having it be 90-minutes or even 2-hours long (like originally planned) would have immensely improved the editing on this premiere. But I guess CBS showing a rerun of S.W.A.T. immediately after was more important to them?
