Heh… “Mom…? Please, could you talk to Dad and ask him not to kill my girlfriend?” Dad: I’m very disappointed in you, son. I mean, we feed you, we clothe you, we try to raise you with terrorist family values, and this is the thanks we get? We were even considering training you for suicide-bombing, but instead you seem to want to throw away your life on blondes and not-dying-for-a-cause… For shame! ---

Yikes for a well oiled terrorist machine these guys are pretty sad. Have they not read the evil genius handbook?!?! Don’t trust your teenage son’s loyalty to the family when harmones are involved. Simply say, “that’s ok son let her go home.” Once he’s off doing an evil errand go kill her. And they fell for the old “My cell mate is not well routeen.” I’m surprised he didn’t do the fake cough followed by the elbow to the gut. Sheeesh. Oh yeah and the… “I’m going to leave you two unknown flunkies to finish off the kid while I am convienently away rather than plug the kid myself” I have to admit I’m still liking the show. ---

Wouldn’t the terrorist be a little suspicious if he came out and his car had a problem, whereas the hold up is less directed at him in particular? ---

Jack probably figured that he would be fired anyway, so robbing the place he could pick up a little cash as well as help save the world. He is a grandfather now, after all. He wouldn’t want to set a bad example for his grandkid by cheap vandalization. Is this new analyst/consultant Mrs. Palmer’s daughter? Or did she simply go to the same school. ---

I don’t really think so. If you popped the tire with a knife and then put a nail in there, there would be no reason for him to be suspicious. Ran over nail, happens sometimes. There usually aren’t many police blockades for nails in the road. I liked ep 3, but didn’t care for ep 4 as much. A little too “Ah, come ON!” and reminiscent of last season.
