Let's start a new thread, we had one for each season.

I thought this was a good opener.

Red with the head a la Jack Bauer. lol

I forgot about a new season thread.

Loved the opener but I hope getting Liz out isn't too long an arc.

How did Dembe not destroy that guy on the stairs?

The guy on the stairs is a tough SOB.

The guy that is playing Alexander Kirk, I think he signed on for 8 episodes? If that is the case, it might be as long as a story arc as Berlin?

I've seen Estaban as a character actor in many other shows.

WOW!!!

SPOILER Below!

but...............

Spoiler

Mr. Kaplan is somehow alive!! I'm glad she's alive, but the sheer power of the scene is somewhat diminished, although I'll take it. Red doesn't usually shoot for the head, so her minuscule odds of surviving were somewhat increased. If I had to guess they wanted to show that Red has a zero tolerance betrayal policy at the same time keeping a popular character still breathing.

EDIT: No- the angle of the gun clearly indicates a head shot.

Watching the scene again I can say that it was still extremely powerful-the show might have pulled off "having it's cake and eating it too".

I am enjoying this season...BUT, this show (and shows like it) irritate the crap out of me with their laziness sometimes. For example, the team is at HQ in Washington, DC...we get a call that the boat has been found and their are survivors onboard. Next scene we see Ressler and Navabi approaching the boat as the guy is receiving medical attention in CUBA. It would take hours to get there...it's like the whole Alaska/Helicopter episode a few years ago.

I don't understand how someone in a writer's room doesn't say "this isn't realistic...". I know, it's just a show...but stuff like that bothers the heck out of me! /rant.

I'm pretty sure Ressler and Navabi were set up in southern Florida at that time. A naval officer informs both of them that "their" boat has been found in Madeira Bay, "a few miles offshore" and that it will be escorted to a "nearby" marina. The guy is getting medical care from Miami-Dade County officials and is not in Cuba.

The scene right before that they are in the HQ in DC...the one they always are in. Miami or Cuba, it's still unbelievable to me that they'd be there right away.
