On the assumption that most of last week's comments were "how did you comment a week ago": the whole season gets uploaded and scheduled in one go, including these comments!

I understand why you’re moving on from Citation Needed. But this episode really feels like the show in its prime.

[Thunderplunk]

It's been four years, and I still think Gary's "shepherd's pie" pun is the greatest thing these four have ever done.

Fortitude
39itude
And everyone jumps on "41itude"
Everything is perfect. It's fantastic.

Additional fact! Garcia was a farmer. A Shepard! Branan deserves a point

The limp guns were a legitimate issue. The inflatable tanks had to be pumped up more in the mornings and evenings because the cold made the pressure drop. Luckily, the staff reinflating the tanks looked like normal maintenance

8:36: I can just see him dancing down the street anachronistically singing that tune from Willy Wonka: "I've got a golden codebook, I've got a golden codebook! I've got a golden chance to win the war!"

[MisterAppleEsq]

2:35 Oh yeah, Operation Mincemeat! I heard about that from a YouTube video, from some guy with a red t-shirt. I wonder what he's doing now?

[SECONDQUEST]

Subtitler's note: Gary's joke was goddamn fire

[jorgurmander]

Since I was a child in Spain, I've been obsessed with this story my father told me, didn't know the actual name of Garbo but when I heard about his birth year I noticed immediately, an awesome show, I love this!!!

[Jonic_P]

As smart as the whole ploy was, I'd still hate to be the guy who either a) Missed out on the 3am message about D-Day b) Handed the double agent all the highest security codes and ciphers 😂😂😂

[MiguelVicoR]

Putting in expense reports for both sides whilst fighting fascism! That might be the most Catalan thing I've ever seen!! "The spy who Catfished the Third Reich" The movie writes itself! XD

[UODZU-P]

Hey I want to spy for you.
Britain: No
*_How about I do anyway!_*

[skyew.]

I always love how color-coded the two tables are - with Chris and Tom in red and Gary and Matt in black ish

[chepulis]

I was expecting to watch fresh episodes of Citation Needed on my deathbed and i will be in naked protest until you announce six more seasons and a movie

8:16
I don't know that I've ever seen Chris nail a point harder and more effortlessly than this one.

[ianj]

I'm so sad you guys aren't doing this format anymore. This is just very enjoyable.

[chrissgoalie]

This is so odd, I was reading this wikipedia article a week ago thinking "Oh wow, this would be a great citation needed episode"

[welshdragon]

I can see you guys beginning to tire of the format but not losing comic chemistry. It's probably just as well that this great series is going out now while it's still good. Looking forward to your next project

[peril]

My goal in life is to leave a legacy that will one day have a Wikipedia article dedicated to it that will, one day, be read and bantered about in front of a live studio audience
