I may be completely wrong, but I thought Harmon's ex husband was the one in the LAPD and her sister had been in the LASD.

Worst episode in the series. The malware in the unknown USB drive was the first WTF moment. What law enforcement just plug in an unknown device into their system? And if the intention is to scare the billionaire, as pointed out the device was of competitor's brand. Surely the billionaire would recognize right away that the device was not his. Remote shut down on an airplane completely ruins this episode. For a show that shows us interesting scientific facts, the production does not seem to understand how internet works, and why is it such a bad idea to have aircraft control connected to it.

Yeah, this is bad. No wonder the show gets 11% in Rotten Tomatoes. There are many instances where we need to suspend our disbelief, from panopticon prison to the prison guard get invited to the operation just because. However, my biggest question is whether the CIA has invented TARDIS technology. The cabin is very spacious for a Bombardier Challenger, considering the Challenger can only fit two seats abreast, one on each side.

The last action scene looks good to fit the narrative and to move the plot, but it makes zero sense for real-world practice. Everybody knew that Evelyn was in danger. They knew the exact location with the locker number. They even had SWAT ready. The what was the need to wait for Faith to lead the raid? That was a situation where swift action was needed. In addition, one pet peeve of mine in police shows is that our heroes in plain clothes lead a raid in front of specialized personnel equipped with tactical equipment.

I know that this episode is a sci-fi set in the future / parallel universe / other planet, but really the prosecutor in that universe is unable to determine whether a video is genuine or AI-generated?

Medics are not physicians. To your point, there is no medic in the U.S. Marines. Medics in Marine units are Navy Corpsmen.

Delta operators come from 75th Rangers or 1st Special Forces. Rangers are Infantry. While they have physicians, those are only in the headquarters. Special Forces OTOH, specifically barred medical officers and aviators to attend the selection as those already incurred a lot of money for their trainings.

I think Op FELIX was the assassination of that Russian high-ranking official - forgot his name and title. Op FELIX was then suspended due to the operation to snatch Coyote - also forgot the name of that operation. Thanks to Sasha's sacrifice, both ops were successfully accomplished. However, looking at this episode, why the Coyote mission needed to be executed along with Op FELIX? Blue Team could have ambushed Valhalla convoy anywhere. SAC knew the route already. As I mentioned in another episode thread, how did they pull it, though? How did they prevent real patients to come to the clinic and inadvertently consult the operators? The clinic did seem like a real clinic. My nitpick for the episode was when the SAC mission manager commented that NORAD gave them the satellite feed. NORAD only operates in, well, North American airspace. Space Command may have been a better choice. Besides, if it was NORAD, the Canadians would have access too. Considering that they did not even share information with the British, not sure if the Canadians should have been involved.

Operation FELIX confuses the hell out of me. First off, one Delta and two Ukrainian operators posed as physicians in a clinic for months. How? How did they avoid real patients with real medical problems? Second, I thought their cover was blown in the previous episodes and they had to escape and egress. How were they still 'practicing'?

Just to echo what has been written, I wish that the show did not do this many unexplained difficult situations. How did the Jackal escape with the boat when the guards with jet skis obviously faster than the boat were right behind him? Who crashed into him, what was the result, and how did he get away? What happened to the assassin sent to kill Zina in her hotel room? How did Zina find the Jackal's apartment in Tallinn? Does that mean that Zina knew who he was?

Was Valerie convicted or acquitted though, or was it just the prosecution dropped the case? Without conviction or acquittal, I do not think that the 5th Amendment applies. The police could have easily identified who tampered with the electrical circuitry considering that Jordan did all of that without gloves.

Time travel done sparingly as in the earlier seasons is interesting. Now that our heroes jump back and forth between periods it becomes gimmicky and the show opens itself to questions as it makes less and less sense. What happens in the present if the present characters in the past do something in real-time that alters the present? Will the present sees changes happen immediately like in Looper? Case in point, did the letter from Roger just appear in the drawer in the present as he put that in in the past? Speaking of the drawer, nobody cleaned that desk for the whole 250+ years?

In other legal show it was explained that the other side had the right to cross-examine the witness. Otherwise, witness could have testified complete falsehood without the opponent able to rebut or to impeach. If the witness died before being cross-examined, the opponent would have been put in an unfair situation.

Legal explanation is requested here. How did the DA drop the charge on La Cosse? Because of Bishop's testimony? But the prosecution did not have the chance to cross-examine him. His testimony could not have been admissible. Besides, as Haller demonstrated in the earlier episode, Bishop action was extremely prejudicial for the jury. Should that not have been a ground for mistrial?

OMFG, this episode is so, so stupid. A former MI6 agent uncovered the secrets in a book just because he needed self-actualization? No, just no. First, it would be illegal. Second, those in national security take their secrets to the death. There is the reason why the majority of the stars on the Memorial Wall in the CIA headquarters do not have names. In this episode, everything after that point was just noise.

Speaking of time travel, I speculate that Cameron disappeared due to all the shenanigans our heroes do in the past. However, this show never discusses what happens to the future when the past is altered. E.g., all the modern medicine Claire introduces in the past, way before its natural occurrence. So I guess Cameron just escaped the old-fashioned way. Hey, Rachel slipped a 'you' when being dressed to her wedding. And does Quaker wedding go that way? Without any officiant, just the bride and groom taking the vows?

IANAL, but I sat in a jury once. This whole episode is weird for me from a legal PoV. Yes, I understand that it is a drama-comedy, but this episode requires a lot of suspension of disbelief. I do not know about New York, but in my jurisdiction a practicing lawyer is one of the occupations ineligible to sit in the jury. Perhaps to prevent a scenario exactly like this? What kind of courtroom allows the usage of cellphone during proceeding? Not only that, the cellphone was not even on silence. What is the story of the incompetent lawyer? It feels like TPTB wants to drop the bridge on the accused. Framed for murder, get the actual murderer as a judge, and get an incompetent defense attorney. On that note, how did the judge get this case? On the plot, how did the murdering judge know that the defendant would come to the victim's apartment, make love, and take shower? There was a lot of happenstances that would not happen if one part did not work out.

Yeah, I call BS on the last scene. Unless it has been thoroughly modified, there is no way the tow truck can not only outrun the Navigator, but also outrun it with slow-speed start that ends with enough velocity to flip it.

Okay, so now MI6 got their hands on the carry-on bag that made up the custom-made sniper rifle. However, even with their explanation, it did not answer the question from episode 1. How did the Jackal smuggled the bullets? The bullets the Jackal used looked like 12.7 mm rounds, which is quite substantial in size. Along with the shape of the bullets themselves, there would be no way that the bullets passed any decent x-ray machine.

Except that Larry was too goofily incompetent to execute that plan.

I hope that Roger's father does not have sex with anyone in 1740 and have any offspring off that. Because, he could then be the ancestor of himself, considering his family stays in that area until 20th century.

There were TEN children between Jon and Jordan? WTF? Who has that many children in these days and age? My only regret is that Krypto did not fly. He was just a regular golden retriever.

Going against the grain here, but I think that is a silly episode, with plenty of plot holes. Can late-generation cellphones be opened with just 4-digit PIN? Mine asks me for complicated password, with upper case, lower case, number, and special character. Otherwise it asks for biometric. Captain Benson, the head of Manhattan SVU, suddenly is also the Scene Commander for a tactical situation? After 26 seasons, yeah. What can she not do? I also find it funny that Rollins try to butt into the situation because hey, it's her husband. The Scene Commander should have stood her down the moment she arrived. And of course, Rollins is the one consoling the rape victim. The character Boyd is completely over the top with his reckless disregard. And of course, since this is SVU, they need to add rape to the mix. Because, why not? On a lighter note, was anybody else also afraid that Boyd would turn into a wolf anytime?

Hey, Agent Pullman, the supposedly rifle expert of the MI6 had her facts wrong. She stated that the world record of sniper kill was 3 540m and it was recorded in Ukraine. The world record is indeed recorded in Ukraine by a member of Security Service of Ukraine. The distance however, is 3 800m. The 3 540m distance is the second longest sniper kill. It is recorded by a member of Canadian JTF-2 in Iraq.

That is why fine dining restaurants these day require non-refundable deposits when making reservation. But seriously, which high-end restaurant today still doing pen and paper reservations?
