I just didn't believe him, miscasting there.
They need a real piss'n'vinegar type to be as nuts as Alex.

"Do you know this guy? we need to find out who he is!"

You could start by trying the apartment across the street?

I mean, I'm no agent but that's where I'd probably start

It was pretty obvious the FBI bloke was going to die too. That building he visited was bizzarre - thought everyone was in some kind of hypnotic trance lol

Quinn in home defence mode, showing how to deal with people breaking your windows...

Was a very slow start to the series but seems to really be coming together now.
Wish I had one.

Exactly what accent was he supposed to have? Seemed to be roaming all over the globe.

Yeah you could see that coming a mile off.

You'd think telling him "oh by the way, this guy lives across the street from me" would be an important piece of information. Nope!

You've got to wonder about the after care provision for brain-damaged ex-CIA master assassins?

"We've only trained you in a 100 different ways to kill people, to be suspicious of everyone and noted that you're still a few fries short of a happy meal but sure, off you go into the world alone without appropriate supervision"

And left in the care of Ms Disasterous herself!

Depends on the season who was senior but I thought Indigo was the boss of CIA at one point so Dar would have been his subordinate at that point.

Though Dar is the master of black ops/arts so no one is ever really going to be his boss except on paper.

If they kill off Dar Adal at the end of this series there sure are going to be a lot of characters who will gladly do the deed. It wasn't surprising that he was behind everything however his conversation with Quinn, revealing their past 'relationship', was particularly creepy even for Dar.

Does no one else find the whole keeping the future President a effective prisoner a bit far fetched?

Surely if a President-elect wants something, they get it?

Can someone explain why the president elect was being held away from everyone else. I know it's not protection. Something to do with dar and Saul perhaps but I'm not clever enough to piece the two together. Different policies maybe? I'm finding it hard to keep up in weekly installments. I've binged watched the previous series so everything always been fresh.

We can't explain it yet, we can only speculate.

The current President was in Downtown Manhattan and so clearly any "risk" is not to him, so unless they have a specific threat against the elect, which hasn't really been mentioned, there is indeed something at play that we aren't familiar with yet.

The whole thing *appears* to be a power play by Dar Adal to create an air of terror, discredit the president-elect and strongarm her into approving additional funding/powers for the CIA.
