ok this most original show i seen this year

What a episode, Where do i start from the begaining right way through to the end it was adventure to watch because you had no idea what was going happen and this episode start middle of something and worked it's way back very nicely . i think my favourite part has to be when waitress in the bar tear up the cheque because she thought he was crazy. If only she had waited few more minutes she would been $1000 richer . how exactly are they going top this episode next week? .

i noticed you side-step political issue between Pakistan and India. it nice to see American interpretation of this situation or what the writer think of the situation.
