He should have went akimbo and slowed down time to stealth kill all of the terrorists, then run up the wall and elbow slam the entire nation into freedom.

Now now, there are only so many people who enjoy this level of tactical realism.

The last 10 minutes of that were some of the best in the entire series. My only complaint is that they already had a main character cancel an explosion or kill a coworker this season. I can't wait for next week.

I also thought it was funny that Quinn worked closely? with the German but broke into her apartment instead of hiding a key somewhere

I thought Quinn was gonna suicide bomb, but then when Carrie showed up I knew everything would be ruined. Hopefully the family drama doesn't ruin the next episode.

Bit of a slow episode with some very good parts in it. Wasn't ready for next episode to be the last episode of the season though.

Great episode but that twist at the end seems a bit unnecessary. We'll see how it plays out I guess.

Pryor on Fire posted:

It is standard training to pick up enemy guns and use them if a crazy situation like that were to arise in real life, particularly if you can go from handgun->rifle and become much more effective in a firefight as a result. They used to (probably still do) a drill with every marine who gets deployed where they have to run 25 meters, put together a fully stripped AK, load it and fire down range as quickly as possible. I'm sure the CIA training on using a variety of weapons in the field is much more thorough and nuanced so I'd guess a real agent would run a quick function check and use the AK in this situation. You can still holster the pistol and have it as a secondary anyway.

Choosing to use a pistol over a rifle in a firefight is decreasing your effectiveness by an order of magnitude or more, it's just a terrible idea.

This show has never been particularly realistic so I don't think it's worth thinking about too much, just enjoy the silly action.

I thought it was more realistic.

They were in a crowded hallway with hostages so using the pistol was likely the more accurate option, no? Quinn can drop a few people with it quickly and spraying ak fire at them would have likely hit some of the hostages.

But I would have preferred akimbo and stealth-time. Shits bonkers.

Ehhhhhh, season 4 has been a weird rollercoaster quality-wise. The highs have been really high, but the lows, which vastly outnumber the highs, have been really low, and everything in between has been mostly boring.

I knew he wasn't going to do it, but I was literally yelling "blow that oval office up". After this stint, Quinn is really going to need to take another couple months off to get drunk, pretend to quit, and plow women.

I bet binge watching it would help gloss over the stuff that doesn't work. The stuff that does work is pretty amazing, so definitely worth watching, IMO.

Just hit fast forward whenever you see Dana and season three will be over in half as long and it's not quite as painful.

Dar Adal, the guy who trained/broke Quinn and was always the "rogue" element at the CIA.
