Not sure if anyone corrected the motive for the kidnapping "in retaliation for the assassination of an ambassador (I think it was) of a Saudi-like country..."

I believe the character assassinated was the "Minister of Security" for the Saudi-like country.

Of course, they're really not characters. This is a direct feed from reality TV of the future!

Goodman will come off better, I predict, than his original packaging might suggest. I'm not so sure about his mutt.

Cheerily,
