My question is, "How is Saul still alive???" We see Saul go down the stairs and into the parking garage when the building is under bomb threat with the Pres elect Keane, Emmons (her chief of staff and young Obama look-alike), as well as some secret service guys. They ALL go into the garage, where Pres elect Keane says "What about my staff?" to which, the security agent says "they are going out the back entrance." She says "I can't leave without them," in defiance. "Ma'am, my orders are to put you into this vehicle." The Pres elect then gets into vehicle #3 of 3.
Agent Tomms tells Carrie and Saul to get into vehicle #1 of 3. He instructs Emmons to get into vehicle #2 which is also referred to as "the decoy." Saul enters vehicle #1 and Carrie gets the call from Dar, telling her to keep the motorcade inside the building. Saul is seen inside vehicle #1, and with the window down says, "Carrie! Come on. We're on the move." Carrie tells him to go ahead, and says that she'll ride with Keane in vehicle #3. Saul affirms by asking, "Are you sure?"
Now, as soon as the first two vehicles get out of the garage, an explosion which has a radius of at least 300 ft engulfs vehicle #2 in flames while vehicle #1 is on it's side just feet away from the exploded Chevy SUV. I have tried to put images of the whole sequence as attachments, but the site isn't letting me. If you go back, you can see that vehicle #1 which was carrying Saul had either exploded or had been completely blasted so hard that the massive SUV is on it's side, but there's no fire. This is puzzling, but even still. If vehicle #2, the SUV which was exploded stayed on all 4 wheels, and the vehicle #1 did not, how is Saul either not dead or in some type of coma? Vehicle #1 is sitting on the passenger's side, where Saul was seated in the front seat. Surely, the bodies of the driver and possibly those in the back seat may have made their way to the front, injuring him even more. We see no first aid, nor do we see any one come out of either vehicle #1 or 2. This left me scratching my head.
After Quinn dies, it fast forwards 6 weeks. We see Saul in tip top shape, with no mention of his injuries, or the explosion, or the fact that he almost died as a result of a plan put in order by Dar, who he actually visits with cordially in jail. This is also stunning how he can be so forgiving of Dar after the sheer insanity of what transpired against Saul throughout the season.
Ok, I refuse to wait a week in between episodes, as I abandoned my SHO subscription after Season 5. The show was too intense to wait, and Netflix/House of Cards has me conditioned to binge watch. SO, I did. I watched season 6 in 3 days. Watched the last two episodes a couple times each. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts, or ideas. I'm guessing you'll just say that his SUV was not on fire, thus, he lived through it. But please, re-watch that sequence and tell me if you think he could have lived, given the nature of the explosion. Or tell me if I'm totally off. I appreciate all feedback.
