He's only the interim director, though. I doubt Michael Morell had a security detail. Who's Michael Morell? Exactly.

Fabio Viviani disagrees.

You know what makes Sen. Lockhart a truly unbelievable character? His ability to stand up to the CIA.

If the writers made it known which political party the President/Vice President belonged to and who controlled the Senate, it would allow viewers to fill in the gaps themselves. Otherwise, characters like Sen. Lockhart are blank slates.

It's even funnier because they're both so mediocre.

Maybe it's a Virgil birth. Get it, like Virgin birth?

Exactly. But by droning your way to victory, the CIA eliminates the need to recruit informants and spies because it just neutralizes enemies. At the same time, though, the lack of new intelligence that could be gained through capture and interrogations decreases the effectiveness of future drone strikes.

When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?!

I suspected they blindsided Saul because they expected him to keep his mouth shut and smile politely when they announced he was not going to be the permanent CIA director. Instead it backfired and Saul made it known that the Senator is in over his head. It wouldn't be the first time someone got passed over for a…

But in general, this whole storyline (by which I mean the Dana and Leo roadtrip and not Dana’s storyline as a whole) has been a bust.

Having read Eddie Huang's memoir, Fresh Off The Boat, it's is obvious why he clashed with Travis so much. Travis tried to present himself as something he was not, an expert. Even someone who is Vietnamese and deeply knowledgeable about the cuisine would not act as arrogantly as Travis did. From Huang's book:
