Just watched that episode last night. One of my favorites.

Yep it’s great. Come to think of it, every episode of BCS is top tier—I can’t think of a single bad episode.

On my rewatch I noticed that the first four or five episodes are a little wonky. You can tell they were trying to please Breaking Bad fans and so the balance between character development and plot is a bit uneven. But then it picks up steam and doesn't look back.

It's very easy to break into a guarded warehouse or port.

Similarly, bad guys and organizations know the locations of all the abandoned warehouses and power plants in the area.

In reality, not true since the 4 digits add up to 16 so it's 486 1/3.

When your phone says "unknown caller", you should answer it, and it's always an important call.

when you're being chased you should always head to the roof of whatever building you're in.

No matter how fast your car is, there is always a short cut, usually down some stairs, where the good guy can catch up to you and jump on your hood.

Bad guys always have a chartered flight and never sit in coach seats

Guys will sing a song in public just to win their girl back.

The measure of a top spy or assassin is you can run 3 miles straight, and never get your heart rate to go above 80 beats a minute.

No matter what major metropolitan city you are in, New York City, Chicago, LA, etc. there is always an open parking spot right in front of whatever building you need to get into.

Rod Tidwell is not Hootie.

Great movie but, holy sheit, does that line ever date the movie to the mid 90s.

And there's never traffic ... until there's a scene where the protagonist needs to reach a destination before all hell breaks loose.

What is best in life.

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

no one is ever injured in a fist fight unless a weapon is involved.

Similarly, if a protagonist suffers some kind of serious injury and needs to go to the hospital, but he needs to get out to catch the bad guy, he'll simply yank out his IVs and leave against doctor's orders.

He'll walk with a limp for the next five minutes of the movie, but from then on be miraculously healed from whatever injury he had in the first place.

Apparently you've never watched a Jean-Claude Van Damme film. His legs are so badass and are extremely dangerous so technically they are a "weapon". 

This snake was injured
