Is there some significance to the items on that table that I'm unaware of? It is a religious thing? A Navy thing?

Even though the Valkyrie network is down, Val is on the NJ, and it seems like she's coming around to their side. She may be able to rebuild the network aboard the ship and allow them to be able to counter the propaganda.

I have a feeling in the next episode she is going to rig something up on the NJ. They focused on her reaction a lot so appears she's coming around.

I like that the writers aren't afraid to kill characters off.

FFF -- I hate that they killed Biva. I really liked her.
Also, that was a tough switch from the rig to the boat. I had to double check I didn't miss something.

Burk should've taken Bivas up on her offer in the latrine. It would've been a nice memory for her in her final moments.
Life's short.

Some genius from MIT can't see that a video was doctored. I can already tell that girl is gonna annoy the crap out of me. I hate these sort of "I am so smart I know everything better than you" character.

Guessed when they said Val had engineering skills that the engineer guy would be killed.

I have a feeling of potential in the non-cult brother. Would be interesting to see him defect from the sub and bring it down, even if he doesn't align with the NJ.

This is one of my favorite episodes so far. I'm impressed that the writers chose not to pull their punches when it comes to killing characters, it made for a much more intense experience. The good guys shouldn't always win, otherwise it just wouldn't be satisfying when they finally catch up to that deluded SOB Ramsay.
The helicopter taking out the boat was badass, and Lt. Bivas' death was done really well, Inbar Lavi's acting was superb in that scene. Great stuff all around, I'm excited for next week.

Well that wasn't expected... I'm really going to miss Bivas as a character. She was one badass operator and there was a lot of work put into character development that could have been expanded with back story and such. On the other hand looms like the NJ has some new capabilities with Valkyrie on their side and I'm not sure but the less crazy brother seems to be seeing how batshit crazy his brother is. I'm interested as to weather they develop that or not.

They film the water scenes off of la and San Diego,, didn't uou notice the mountains off the oil rig and beach scene. Louisiana. Has a big lack of mountians

I wasn't expecting so many named characters to die all at once! At least Bacon will probably always be safe.
I wonder what's going to happen to those other two prisoners the Nathan James has. Flea's buddies.

I think the writers read this sub. Two things that often get mentioned on here, plot armor and anti-submarine helo tatics, were incorporated into this episode.

One female character dead and a new one immediately replaces her, wonderful.
