This one was good.. lots of things going on.. minister of defense power hungry and giving orders to launch missiles from a cruiser.. I dunno why he would do that before deposing the president.. but more importantly, how would he do that? But anyway, that is just me the clueless dude that got confused everytime they showed those flashbacks and I did not know who was who there..

I still do not get it.. that explosion near that town made Russia initiate attack protocols?

And the USA is looking to change their minds by exposing Petrov, the new minister of defense?

I guess that is it, aint it.. the endgame and making Americans and Russians attack each other.

While the major issues of the Sokol warhead were resolved in the previous episode, the screenwriters now pivot to a new threat: the plan all along was for Antonov, a rogue Russian naval officer in the Baltic to start a war from a powerful destroyer. This act will be tied to a coup that will enable Defense Minister Alexei Petrov to depose the hapless Russian president in a carefully orchestrated coup d'état.

The widow, Madam Popop, is informed of Petrov's scheme in a private conversation with Alena Kovac. The grande dame will try to exert her influence on the president. In the meantime, Jack has been in contact with Elizabeth Wright, who has attempted to persuade the President of the United States of the diabolical scheme. Jim Greer has been nosing around and has found important intel as well among Antonov's papers.

The stage is now set for a mad dash to the Baltic as Jack and Luka will attempt to thwart the Baltic cruiser from carrying out its mission. For the world-weary Luka, the realization is clear that this may be a suicide mission. But he must sacrifice everything for the cause of Mother Russia!

We have just one episode left this season and we got nada here. I was just writing a great review for Episode 306, but the follow up left a lot to be desired.

A very poorly cast actor to play the President and too much nonsensical bureaucracy. I am not going to believe that the current President, given the last two we have had, is going to seriously weigh the options in a scenario like this.

There could be some twists and turns still ahead in the final episode up next, but somehow I doubt it. I kind of get now why they dropped this new season in the holiday season because it has been a huge letdown.

Spoiler

Near the end of the episode Luka asks Jack a question:

"What would you do?"

The statement was: "You're not going to get on a ship with a bunch of Russian Terrorists that is suicide."

Jack (does just that) in the Hunt for Red October he {alec baldwin} gets on the Nuclear Submarine being Captained by Marko Ramius, portrayed by the late Great Sir Sean Connery, a distinguished Russian Captain who was going to Defect to the United States with his classified nuclear submarine. If you haven't seen that film you definitely should.

As for the episode; obviously it being the culmination of the season it was a great episode.
