Uber. Not the best name for the character.

They should have called him Gilligan.

They pay a guy $40,000 to drive a boat, because special forces doesn't have anyone who can drive a boat? Uber is so good, but his one job is staying in the boat. Uber leaves the boat. Really? And somehow Uber ends up being farther away from the boat then everybody else. Everybody. His job was staying with the boat. Duh.

So what happens when the others get back to the boat. They drive the boat away, because pretty much anybody with eyes and a hand can drive a boat. Money well spent.

They came up with some ridiculous story about Uber needing to fix the fiberglass on the special forces boat, because it had a minor leak. The bilge pump was working, and boats of that size will not sink, even if the entire seating area is filled with water.

Why did Uber and the other special forces guys need to parachute in, and then meet Jack and Greer. Why didn't they fly into the airport, and rent a boat and truck? I assume boats and guns and sneaky guy stuff are available in Venezuela. I'm sure Venezuela also has radios that can get wet, unlike the mickey mouse radios the US special forces seem to use. Lol.

I'm loving the show, but this episode had too many stupid events to be excused. I was just trying to enjoy it, without picking apart every detail, but they are making to easy.
