When this episode aired it got tons of praise and acclaimed from many television reviews and fans for its dark, unique, and tragic tale of a woman held prisoner in her own mind.
But for some reason, there is a huge portion of the audience ( Hardcore POI fans, Anti Root and Shaw fans, Homophobic Watchers, Casual CBS Fans ) That snub their noses at an episode that was such a masterpiece in all aspects of television.
This episode was so strong from every including Amy in the final scenes but... This this the Sarah Shahi show, she delivered what would be in a fair world, a powerful performance that should have garnered some Emmy Award buzz ( but critics suck bad ). She's had many great performances in season 5 ( likely the seasons MVP ). But make no mistake 6741 is still her Diamond episode if you ever wonder if she can take the Reigns of being a lead actress in a major TV drama.
The writers knew people would know it was a simulation, because while this episode was the evil, anti, If-Then-Else ( i think it tops If-Then-Else ), Its not about whether or not its a simulation itself. Its a surreal character study of one woman trying to keep hold of reality as she is a prisoner in her own subconscious. Every should watch this episode and appreciate its classic and genius design and execution because it deserves that. Don't even get me started on the homophobes who scream fan service or any other crap, thats such a stupid claim against this masterpiece.
Haters can hate and snub all they want, 6741 is a clinic in TV wriitng, filming, and acting performance lead by the incredible Sarah Shahi. It is a imo the 1st or 2nd best episode in the shows entire run and it deserves more credit then people purposely ignoring it because of personal hate or feelings. I have never seen an episode get so much acclaim and praise but get snubbed by others like this one. Its sad and not right!
