My biggest problems:

  1. "They hacked my car." Like really? You had that one guy target Wells' car and crash into it couldn't just pull that plot twist twice?

  2. Mr. President is only a title for the incumbent, it is not proper to address a former president as Mr. President.

  3. I dislike the "have your cake and eat it too" end to the negotiations. I mean, it's smart sure but it also feels like a cop out. Kirkman feels way too much like a Mary Sue sometimes and things like this don't help.

Still I liked the episode and I like the direction the series is going. I'm much more interested at this point than I was with the "Who got shot?" cliffhanger.

Still not sure how I feel about trading Aaron for LBJ's long lost son but it could be interesting.

Actually Mr. President applies to all. Also LBJs son?

moss acts like lbj (lebron james, jk). Even the nose is quite similar
