    Best episode so far

    This episode played like a movie. From the jump it had tension, action, and purpose. It plays very realistic. The acting, as expected, is outstanding. Fassbender is right there with Clare Danes as most accurately portrayed spy I've seen. Definitely should be in the discussions for an Emmy, and we're only halfway through the season!

    Time for the minor critiques I do have. Call me naive, but what exactly is wrong with the Sudanese and Chinese meeting to discuss business plans? It's a main point of the entire season but I don't get why it's so secretive for them to meet in London. I mean even the cia and mi-6 are aware and don't seem all that concerned.

    Also, why haven't they shown coyote rotting away or in a dark interrogation? Would make for a much more worthy cause for the cia to rescue him if we know what he's going through, what other missions he might be giving up etc.

    This show really is great though, been awhile since I've checked how much time is remaining on an episode because I don't want it to end.

    • Trivia
      A "rat trap" refers to a carefully designed situation or operation that is intended to lure a suspected traitor or informant into revealing their identity by presenting them with an enticing opportunity, essentially trapping them in a situation where their betrayal becomes obvious . It's like a trap set for a "rat" (a traitor) to expose their true allegiance.
    • Goofs
      Martian's sparring partner refers to his alter ego as a "supply teacher". That is the British term, Americans would say a "substitute teacher".
