some disputed masterminds
Peter Kingsley was certainly not the mastermind of season 2 (that was Max), and neither were Henderson nor Logan the masterminds of Season 5. I suppose Logan can have this category because of Season 8. Blue Rook talk contribs 06:26, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Let's work together on this, to make this category as accurate as possible. I have added a line to describe what exactly the term "mastermind" should mean, a strict definition that is useful and we can all hopefully agree upon.
- For Season 1, it was Andre and Victor.
- Season 2 is more complicated but I believe there is certainty: Max was the mastermind. Kingsley was explicitly Max's project manager and was definitely not the mastermind. Syed Ali was the mastermind of nothing in my opinion since he was the pawn in 2 different conspiracies, but in his case I'm especially willing to hear arguments against this.
- Saunders is easily the mastermind of Season 3
- And Marwan was Season 4's.
- Logically, Season 5 has to go to Graem (not Logan, Henderson, Cummings, Nathanson, etc), but since Bierko was completely out of everyone's control half the time, I think it's acceptable Bierko can be considered a mastermind as well.
- Season 6 is an unmitigated nightmare, but Fayed, Gredenko & Markov, and Cheng are the masterminds of their respective conspiracies. I'm really on the fence about Phillip Bauer.
- Season 7, I suppose it's acceptable for Juma, Hodges, and Wilson to get this distinction.
- Season 8, Suvarov for sure, I suppose Mehran too, and Logan for sullying everything up on the American side. Blue Rook talk contribs 08:07, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
