400,000 ATMs - 340 Dollars – 48 Decoys – 38 Hours
Here’s What We Learned This Week:
- Remember when Charlie used to do a voice over for the opening of the show? “We all use numbers every day…” I miss that.
- The Men in Black don’t chase aliens anymore, only ATM users.
- Charlie’s NSA clearance – still not happening.
- Express Kidnapping is all the rage in LA these days. Well, that and Dodgers playoff baseball with Mr. Don Mattingly on the bench.
- New girl calls herself “New Guy”. Now the old guys call her new guy.
- Bad guys who kill their own partners for screwing up are REALLY bad guys.
- In East LA – people get stabbed over a six-pack. Who knew?
- The Decoy Effect in marketing leads to a-symmetric dominance and even with the little graphic overlay of the scene; I still have no idea what Charlie was talking about.
- Don does but doesn’t want Charlie’s help and he does but doesn’t want to help Charlie.
- Spider is software that tracks ATM usage. I wonder if that’s real.
- The person originally chasing the bad guy never catches them; it’s always their partner who always knows a shortcut to get there first. You would think they would share this information.
- According to the commercials, there’s a presidential election happening soon. In case you weren’t sure.
- Keith Carradine plays a very convincing jackass. He also has a very cool first name.
- People apparently still use the word; behoove.
- Larry and Amita are good at this stuff – but not “Charlie good” at this stuff.
- Why do all bad guys drive bad vans? Didn’t they see Back to the Future? It didn’t work for the Libyans and it’s not gonna work on this episode either I’m guessing.
- Alyssa Milano looks very good in NFL gear.
- Distress words aren’t as sacred in FBI teams as they used to be.
- Don calling Larry for help, while Charlie’s in the room is awkward to watch.
- FBI calls handcuffs “bracelets”.
- Charlie busts in with helpful information and Don doesn’t like it – or does he?
- The FBI would be lost without Charlie- he really needs that clearance back.
- Charlie misses FBI work. Poor guy.
- Next week Charlie will not throw his brother under the buss.
