The second part of the premiere was pretty good actually.

I didn't really like the fact that they showed Lou Diamond Phillips (A Real Life Female Abuser), torturing the suspect. Or any torture at all, as it violates the law. Hopefully they will stop this stuff, as the constant violation of Posse Comitatus made me drop The Unit, as I will not accept this subtle propaganda that we should allow the army to do whatever they want to do.

Allowing the military/law enforcement/government agencies to do it is far different from them actually do it. Dropping a show because you read too much into it is as naive (don't know how to do the proper i), as believing just because you see something on a fictional show it must be true. But I'm pretty sure that when the shit hits the fan most anyone would do whatever it takes, for a good cause. The ends justify the means.

I always wonder if these math theories are real or are they just making stuff up and explaining it enough that it sounds real. Some do sound really bizzar and I can't see how they actually lead to predicting where the criminals will be.

Not sure if they have done this before, but there should be a criminal math major guy who knows all the stuff Charie does and purposly goes against all the theories just to mess with Charie.

I think you are reading far more into it that was intended.

Nice to have the episode over. I wasn't thrilled with it, but it was still worth the watch.

All of the theories are real, but their practical applications don't exactly jive with that line of work. Otherwise, you'd see all sorts of math genius "consultants" in the law enforcement world.
