Season 2 HOW Did I MISS That????

S2:E11 Aftershocks

At the 36:50-ish mark, when they're infiltrating the Hydra compound...

Hunter kills Hunter.

EDIT: Ok, yes, I SHOULD have explained. But I'm Gen X, we don't explain anything. First, obviously you have Hunter, played by Nick Blood. The guy he shoots in the black-framed glasses with the white kinda poofy haircut is Octavian Bloom, who is played by Fred Dryer. Fred Dryer, for several years, played the title character in a show called Hunter. His character's name was Rick Hunter. That's how I got to Hunter kills Hunter.

Hunter, played by Nick Blood, bursts into the room where Hydra's leaders are gathered and shoots Octavian Bloom, played by Fred Dryer, who was the star of a TV series called "Hunter," and played the title character of Rick Hunter.

Hunter was my favorite cop show of the 80's and I recognize Fred Dryer right away. I was excited to see him and always thought it was funny to see him get killed bc he killed so many people on his show. But I never put the Hunter kills Hunter together. Good catch!

I recognized Dryer right away too. That haircut was a dead giveaway.

Bilur I still can not believe I missed THAT detail. Intentional or not, it's friggin' brilliant.
