Sorry, I was in so many sub threads, made it so messy. I just watched eps 3 through 7 at once.

When they announced that he'd been shot by special forces and everyone cheered I totally get why but I still felt really uncomfortable, i feel like no one should cheer at someone's death. So I thought Neal's girlfriends reaction was interesting and well played because her real reason was even more poignant.

Love the body guard guy and really appreciate that they recycled that storyline but not the character.

The scenes on the plane were funny and made me enjoy Don even more. He's been growing on me. Though ranting about not being able to get up is boring and pointless, the flight attendant was super annoying but she was just doing her job, it's not her fault breaking those rules is basically punishable by death. We all know that by now! ( Though i do enjoy the smart alacky tone they use on Australian airlines announcing some of the FAAs more annoying rules).

Loved cutting off the DC gal. Ha!! That was very Dana-ish. Felt really bad for Isaac's guilt over the gulf war.
