I didn’t see anything on FX’s site. Plus the next episode is #10.

I guess what I meant, in a less round-about manner was, “Does he expect anyone in a barn full of cops to believe that shit?” 🙂

> I’m gonna have to ask for a cite on this. I keep up with news about the show and I’ve never heard this before. Plus, the previous four seasons have been 13 episodes each, so I don’t see why this season (rumored to be the last anyway) would be extended to 21.

[Here’s the article where I got my info.](http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C99223%7C1%7C,00.html) It was published in January, at the beginning of the season. The relevant part is about 2/3 of the way down. And technically, Season 4 was 15 episodes long.

One thing I found interesting in there:

Since Whitaker currently is set to appear in only the first group of episodes, it looks doubtful that he’ll succeed in taking Vic down.

Hopefully they resolve the IAD thing before any kind of long break.
