We still haven't seen the Vice President, after a fair amount of speculation about who he would be - the characters did refer to "him" - back when the show faked Heller's death.

Navarro is also a CIA station chief / ex-covert ops who can't figure out his own exfiltration plan beyond asking Adrian for everything. Steve's not the smartest spy ever.

That used to be true, but the Virginia class are SSN's

Yes, that was fair. Pretty bad commentary on Steve's competence, though, that he had to ask Adrian for a false passport and travel help. A CIA covert ops / head of station - who is also a mole! - ought to be able to figure that out on his own.

Tony Almeida!?

He's not the CIA's equivalent of Bill Buchanan, that's for sure.

I agree. The lack of a silent clock is another clue.

I never saw anybody who appeared to be armed hospital security. I did see armed police officers at the hospital - who were also wearing body armor - and who showed up because the police put the hospital on lockdown to secure Simone.

Small town Minnesota never really had a housing bubble run up, and therefore also never really had a housing bust.

Could be, though here he's playing a U.S. general, not a character with a British accent.

It did sound like the person talking to Navarro on the phone has a British accent.

An official diplomatic vehicle. Stan assaulting it would lead to an international incident, a U.S. apology to the Soviets, and Stan going to prison.

I wondered if that line from Arkady, which Genevieve mentioned, had more impact than she thought. It struck me as odd when he said it - just a bit off for him to know that much about Stan and Nina's relationship - so I do think that it could have pushed Stan to think more about whether he was being played.

I enjoy the show, but the ease with which Philip and Elizabeth impersonate government personnel - Clark, DoD security, etc. - without getting burned requires some suspension of disbelief. At some point, somebody would check on their credentials, or place a call verifying the name of this person who appeared out of the

There's also the separate question of how people at a hotel wouldn't hear multiple gunshots in the middle of the day. Gunshots are loud - even silenced - and an unsilenced gun is hellaciously loud. As in, people would hear it down the hall, on other floors, etc. It's a common TV and movie point to ignore it, but three

Except for the double digit number of Emmys that it did win in prior seasons, including best drama and best actor.

See Azor's post above about 24 not needing to be realistic. In all seriousness, the U.S. should (and presumably would) just ground all drones for a couple days while the military figures out what's going on. In real life, Tanner's incident alone, even without Jack's claim, would be enough to keep armed drones out of

"What if, after swearing a blood oath, Kendall actually pulled off the act and was ultimately responsible. Now Raylan would be responsible for ruining another person's life."

Raylan coerced Boyd into providing him with Nicky's location by setting up a meeting. Boyd drove Raylan to the meeting with Nicky at the airport, dropped Raylan off, and left. Boyd didn't see exactly what happened, but it's easy enough for him to connect the dots because he dropped off Raylan and Nicky was dead
