    Wow. How Can This Be Resolved?

    So much happens. The Vice Presidential candidate is made to pay for something he did as a 16 year old. By the way, I'm so sick of that petulant girlfriend of his. She has her own thing going. Another speech to turn the tide. We also have Hannah at the brewery. I won't throw a spoiler in here. Watch and ask yourself how things will progress from here.

    Young admiral

    That admiral was way too young to be an admiral. I think it takes a longer time to achieve that rank in the military.

    Only one problem I found with this episode

    Shore brought an undocumented person into the US, and so therefore never had a social security number, but was somehow able to enlist and serve in the US Army? It would've been nice if the producers had stuck to factual government functions and what the actual requirements are for enlisting in the US military. Granted I understand this is a political thriller/political dramatization, I think it's always best to go with the authenticity that what's being portrayed resonates with how the government operates. Going with authenticity always makes TV shows and movies so much better and more relatable and helps viewers understand the government better.

    So glad Netflix picked this show up and filled it out.

    The episode hit a whole bunch of marks for me - made me laugh, cry and feel wonderment and hope. Also keeps going with the dark slimy underbelly if the world that we all fear is too real.

    Needs Technical Experts

    Definitely needs Aviators familiar with the 1956 TU 95, and what the Russian Federation has done as the TU 95 Current Mission, with the Actual Strategic Thermo Nuclear Bomb Mission had been Reassigned to the Returned to Active Service 1969 Tu 22M and 1987 Tu-160.

    During the U.S.S.R.'s extreme paranoia Decades, Soviet Pilots and Crews believed that the U.S.S.R. was capable of Remote Destruction of any U.S.S.R. Aircraft. Submarine Officers and Crew, and Ships Officers and Crews believed that also, "to prevent "Superior" U.S.S.R. secrets from getting into Enemy hands" according to the U.S.S.R.'s (KGB) Political Officers assigned to anything of any importance.

    Auto Pilots must be engaged and disengaged manually, Especially on U.S.S.R. aircraft. Even after the so called "Modernization" of the 1956 TU 95.

    Need a Chemical Munitions Officer as a Technical Adviser. Release of any Chemical Munitions Agent in an enclosed space, the Chemical Agent is no longer "Non Persistent" and will remain Lethal until neutralized, dissipated or decontaminated.

      The aircraft trailing the rogue T-95 are depicted as being F-22 Raptors which are air superiority fighter aircraft. Although highly advanced they are not capable of transmitting the malware as depicted in the episode. Such a mission would be undertaken by something like the E-8 JSTARS or an EA-18 Growler.
