In a subplot, Alena "LeLe" Kovac, the President of the Czech Republic meets with the Russian Defense Minister Popop. But their cover has been blown, ironically by Jack's Boss. After a daring escape, Jack and Yuri land in La Grena, Greece. In the most daring sequence in the episode, Jack and his small team board the Russian steamer and discover not the nuke but the scientist Yuri, a potential defector. ![]() Jack gets permission to run a black op on the Black Sea. It is in the process of being built and will be used in a Russian first strike power play. Ryan receives some intel from a Russian contact, Zoya Ivanova, that the Russians have revived the Sokol project. But the project is suddenly terminated, and the crew is ruthlessly murdered. During the Cold War, the Soviets are building a mini nuke called the Sokol. and John please tell the producers and voice editors to not modulate your voice. All in all a half hearted copy paste effort. action scenes are nothing to be yearned for either. all Russian characters and their demeanour is exactly they can be found in numerous any similar storyline movies. or they fit perfectly in their stereotypical roles that there almost no element of surprise or excitement. it's like they were forced to learn their lines and couldn't find any energy to deliver them. but can't recommend it.Īll other characters are sleepy. might end up watching it just in hope of something good. ![]() some scenes themselves could be found in on other other previous spy type movies. Second the story line is so old - russia, scientist, double agents, nuclear war blah blah blah. It's like watching John but listening to a different actor. Why not use any other central or Eastern European country, that's not a NATO member? Or even make up one? Dear writers, you're making fools of yourselves.įirst off John is a good actor but in season 3 his voice has been modified way too much and it sounds like made up - not his natural voice. Maybe I missed how this show is set in the early 1990s all of a sudden, but I'm pretty sure the first two seasons took place in present time. So much about the story of them having to choose sides or whatever. Why would any self respecting screenwriter with any idea of geopolitics use Czechia as a supposed buffer state, that's weary about "NATO" using them for this and that, which is also negotiating with the Russian government about military stuff all by itself? Why? A five minute visit to Wikipedia would be enough to tell you that the Czech Republic IS A MEMBER OF NATO! And has been for more than twenty years. But then again it isn't a Czech name anyways, so why would the president of the Czech Republic be called that? And why use a German actress with an obviously German accent for the role instead of, maybe, a Czech one? Oh well, maybe she could have made anyone aware of the big problem with their story: Here's another one: The name Kovac (imdb won't let me use the correct spelling, which actually dictates the pronunciation) would never be pronounced with a "k"-sound at the end by any Eastern European.Why would there be any secret projects to "preserve" the Soviet Union? Why not change the date to 1989, if the timeframe isn't relevant to the story anyway? At that time the Cold War was at its height. 1969 was nowhere near the fall of the Soviet Union.Both are bad enough, but I guess to be expected (even though the first two seasons steered mostly clear of such blatant problems). The "teleportation" from the Black Sea to Greece has been mentioned in other reviews, as has the ridiculous (albeit typical for many American shows and films) practice of having "Russians" talk to each other in English (complete with a phony Russian accent of course). How do you get away with writing like this? It's absolutely ridiculous how this episode (and I suspect the rest of the season won't be any better in this regard) is getting the whole geopolitical framework, that the story seems to be built upon, completely wrong. ![]()
