At the very beginning Reese tells Harold that the flight was from Hong Kong to London but was diverted to New York. That would be the weirdest routing of a Hong Kong to London flight. It usually flies directly from Hong Kong over China, Russia and Europe to land in London. Sending it over the Pacific, then North America would make it much longer. In other words, there are NO flights between those two cities that fly anywhere NEAR New York.

How can the same family produce such horribly different results. On the one hand we have Jonathan and Christopher Nolan who have brought us lots of joy with their creations. And on the other, we have John Nolan, their uncle, one of the most talentless people in TV show business. He cannot play a single emotion. He constantly over- and underacts. For some reason he sometimes starts using fricative Rs to sound like a Pathe presenter from 1935. For the past 20 years his entire career has been based on his two very talented nephews, and I applaud them for supporting their family members. But he also nearly destroyed this show for me. Next time, boys, just send him a check.

John Greer performed by John Nolan is the worst combination. Greer is a cardboard cutout villain. "You earned my highest esteem" - and he shoots the person who earned that esteem. And then he lovingly talks to computer hard drives as if he really was in love with it. The only thing he lacks is a furry cat to pet on his arm. And it could actually work if only Nolan wasnt so talentless. I suspect the only reason he got the role is because his nephew is the "creator" of this show. He simply cannot handle the enormously difficult task this role has assigned to him. He can't play cold, he can't play viscious, he can't play tragic which they tried to give him in his flashbacks. He can't even play disappointed - the simplest act. All he can do is be an Anthony Hopkins wannabe, walk and talk slowly with (WHY?!) a british accent and... that's about it.
