TV Recap: Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – A Bird In The Hand …

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan
“The Wolf” (Episode 104)
August 31, 2018

Last episode on Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Greer and Ryan were able to convince Sandrine to track (rather than capture) Ali, on the hope that he’ll lead them to Suleiman. Also, we met Victor “Tombstone” Polizzi, an accomplished Air Force drone pilot who is skilled at killing enemies from his Reaper drone high in the sky but maybe is breaking a bit from the stress. And Hanin. She made a mad dash departure with her daughters (Samir wouldn’t leave his father and even ratted on his mother) in the middle of the night. Mousa sent Yazid and Fathi to bring them home.  Catch up on all the details of Episode 3 here.

Caught up? Great! Let’s get to Episode 4 of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, “The Wolf” … after the jump (SPOILERS BEWARE)!

What To Watch Tonight – Tuesday, September 11, 2018

It’s September 11, a difficult day for myself and countless other Americans. Tonight, I’ll be watching the scant programming commemorating the horrific event, in particular, History Channel’s 9/11: Escape from the Towers.  That none of the networks are doing anything on this 17th Anniversary  speaks volumes to me about this country and our too short memory. The “What To Watch Tonight” below is normal Tuesday night programming choices …

We are RESUMING our weekly LOST Series re-watch tonight. We will be pressing play on Season 2, Episodes 3 and 4 at 10p (ET).  “Orientation” is a Locke episode and “Everybody Hates Hugo” is a Hurley episode. Follow me on Twitter (@Popcultureview) and tweet along with us! We have to go back!
