Trivia
"Tradecraft Tip": The way to tell that JSOC is not actually involved in something is when a C.O.S. says "JayEssOhSee" to everyone within earshot three times to "establish credibility" of his concern for someone's well being.

Goofs
Doctor Blake states that no-one has been executed for treason since the Civil war, but that is not correct. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for treason for sharing nuclear secrets with the Soviet union.

The pilot was pretty underwhelming to begin with, but in this episode there's just way too much nonsense. It seems (re)viewers only care for action once again. Else I don't know what it is with these ratings nowadays. It's supposed to be an intelligent spy show, but for me it doesn't deliver and just feels pretentious. The guy they're trying to exfiltrate is utterly scared for his life and paranoid, yet just casually gets into a car with some random stranger who he believes to be a cab driver? Makes sense. Two/three minimally armed guys on the run, after punching through what is evidently the most useless roadblock ever (in a standard sedan no less), manage to fight off an entire battalion of Russian soldiers with jeeps and armored vehicles... AND EVEN WIN? Gimme a break! I'm hoping we'll get to see a third party involved in the next episode, or some other explanation. Apart from nonsense like this, we've basically seen it all before... and much better. A valuable cast doesn't automatically make your end-product valuable. BUT... it's just episode 2, so there's enough time for it to improve.
