The hacktivists rise up; Quinn covers for Carrie; Dar and Allison assess the damage.

This show wishes it were half as good as BCS.

If we had actually seen the Carrie/Saul conversation instead of just her picking him up this might have been a decent episode.

I could not care any less about the hackers.

at Quinn being able to move around like that, and apparently finding a cinder block right next to the water, in his condition

Even if we suspend belief that he could move around like that there would be a clear trail of blood to find him. Little fuzzy on why the Russians want to kill Carrie? Because she is too smart?

I think the russians dont really care about Carrie. She was being used as a scapegoat by the double agent lady. Now Saul is the new scapegoat.

To be honest, none of this really makes sense or fits together right now. Maybe it'll become more clear in the next couple of episodes.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I do not want to see Quinn lying around in agony. I want to see him out there doing what he does best. And I REALLY want Saul to figure it out SOON.

Yeah. It doesn't makes any sense.

Yeah, I've been bored & confused this whole season. I not only don't really know what's going on, I don't care. I think I'm out.

I suspect Saul and Dar are onto Allison and are just playing along to gather more info. She's tried to cause friction between the two before - so there's precedent set.

I'm also not fully understanding the stuff going on this season, and I'm only watching as an obligation. It's pretty dull and isn't doing anything for me.

You guys just need to stop taking your meds and everything will be clear after that

I don't know about that. I hope so, becuase having Saul sleep with the enemy and Dar be just as fooled is silly.

Dopey illogical stuff aside - I am enjoying this season so far.
I like the change in locale. Sure, Carrie still cries every ep, Saul furrows his brow, Dar spews angrily, Quinn is a killing machine. But I'm liking it...
