I'm always happy to see a new HH episode is available. i just did a bunch of readings on the Achaemenid empire so I'm interested to hear Carlin's take.

Re: The Most Irrational Thing You Do

Instead of going for the closest available parking space, I'll park farther out in a space that isn't surrounded by other cars so it's easier to pull in and out.

Ridiculous, yes, but not outside the scope of (WD) possibility. The entrails could have been Nick's; he could escape the feeding frenzy thanks to some well timed, noisy distraction.

We are definitely supposed to believe Morgan killed the guy in the end. In the last shot of him walking down the street in Alexandria, he was carrying a gun.
