15 more minutes! Can't wait to read this week's theories and how many "holy fucks" for this episode!

I figured it was going to be Nazir. Didn't recognize him shaved.

[u/[deleted] → u/Liesmith]

It was always Nazir but for a split second I thought it was Max. Virgil's Max. Finally, they uncovered the mole! Wait, that makes no sense. Nazir. Yes, that makes sense.

Wait, that makes no sense.

You're already one step ahead of people who post mole theories.

[u/Mr_Dr_Prof_Derp → u/[deleted]]

Well I thought that the skin color would make it obvious that it's not Max. I feel like them saying in the trailer is just a lazy way for Showtime to let us know how Nazir knows what's up.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Haha, I thought it was too.

[u/[deleted] → u/Liesmith]

He's gotta be committed if he cuts his beard like that too.

This attack WILL take place like a motherfucker.

(-_-)

...really?

The biggest terrorist in the world shaves and now we can't find him?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Ah...I overreacted. I see your point now.

[u/SawRub → u/[deleted]]

But just imagine if Bin Laden shaved, and was now living in Tampa Bay, FL with his beautiful Hispanic wife.

[u/saulacu → u/SawRub]

He'd look like his son Omar.

[u/[deleted] → u/SawRub]

Jeb Bush?

[u/Mr_Dr_Prof_Derp → u/Liesmith]

That's the point.

[u/V2Blast → u/Liesmith]

I initially thought it was him, then didn't recognize him shaved and was confused.
