With him in the woods getting spooked by the deer, I was totally expecting a Walker to sneak up out of no where and bite him (ala T-Dog)... but I knew he was a goner.

Other than Jason, I thought the ep was really good... but part of me hated to see Hookstraten relegated to Secretary of Education... now what is Aaron going to do?

Definitely sucks that they killed him off. You would think these high ranking FBI types would know better than to head off alone into situations where they could be easily ambushed. But nope... one kidnapped, one dead.

The whole taken and put on a cargo ship seems to have become a thing. Seems like a have seen it a few times over the last couple years.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing, definitely not the mega shock it might have once been

If this comes back for season 2, wonder how they will revamp things and what cast changes they will make

I feel the show is trying to be a bit of everything , politicial drama, thriller, spy actioner and hasn't done anything exceptional

One positive is no storylines involving the children

They started out with those but thankfully dropped them quickly and never went back to that well. Which is good because the actor that plays the son is (was?) terrible.

All I could think of was hearing someone say "Welcome to Level Two"* when she walked out on to the container ship.

* Does anyone remember 2010's Persons Unknown?

Alias was one I thought of. Might have been an oil rig she was on. Never been on a cargo ship but do they run so smoothly she wouldn't have felt the movement while sitting in it?

I'd suspect container on a ship feels and sounds much different that container on a truck eh? Bummer on Atwell as well.

I keep confusing the pesky mole w one of the senators.

Agreed. Hopefully Atwell managed to send something off before being shot when he typed something on his laptop.
