The Best of All So Far

This is full of surprises and twists. It starts dramatically with man on a bridge, threatening to blow the whole thing up. He has already done some cars. He makes challenges to the Eppes brothers. Soon there is a whole array of events and the one time supposed myth of the Janus list. The conclusion to this one is so startling and sets up season four. There is spy stuff, betrayal, science, and math.

The Janus List

This is really one of the most diabolical episodes. The villain, kept me on the edge of my seat, how the brother comes up with the answers using just Numbers and the Alphabet is one of the best number puzzle!! You do not know the true villain until the end, you can guess but then BOOM! There it is. The brothers are perfect together. And then at the end of the movie the father, Adam Epps gave a famous quote. I copied it down so I could memorize it myself. I love Adam's last words on this episode when he says, their Mother was right about those two. It was so awesome! This show does not get the kudos it deserves.

This is the best episode ever!!!

Most people do not watch Numbers n some of them hasn't even heard about the show...but its one of my favorite..

This episode is ONE OF THE BEST EPISODE.. it was awesome.. Huge suspense and a SHOCKING ending.(perfect way to end a season). As usual the two main character, Don & Charlie Eppes did a terrific job, in this episode you will get to see a little bit of Charlie in Don and vice-versa - you will get to know the character even deeper This whole episode was very well made/shot.

This show is under-rated and i hope it will get more recognition like it deserves.. Hats off to Numb3rs - " you may hate maths, but you will never hate "Numbers"

Trivia
The Taylor Ashby character's life story and specifics of death were inspired by the life and death of Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. Litvinenko had been a high-level officer in the KGB and the Russian Federal Security Service, but in 2006, after whistle-blowing and claiming that the Russian government and secret service had been responsible for terrorist bombings that helped Vladimir Putin's election, Litvinenko became gravely ill. It was discovered that he had been poisoned with a rare and highly radioactive isotope of an element called polonium (210). From his deathbed, Litvinenko continued to speak out against the corruption he saw in the Russian government and even accused Putin himself of being behind the poisoning. He died from radiation poisoning on November 23, 2006.

Goofs
It is impossible for anyone to use a pulse oximeter (the numbers Taylor Ashby repeats by tapping the numbers on the screen) to show particular numbers. A pulse oximeter measures the amount of oxygen in the blood and is therefore not controllable by tapping.

Quotes
Alan Eppes: [Quoting poem by Siegfried Sassoon] "Light many lamps and gather round his bed/Lend him your eyes, warm blood, and will to live... But death replied: 'I choose him.' So he went/And there was silence in the summer night/Silence and safety; and the veils of sleep/Then, far away, the thudding of the guns."
