How realistic is all the spy and drone technology they're using in that control room?

Like many here, I was also wondering about that. My girlfriend works for nato and loves the show, but at the same time laughs at how unrealistic the video meetings, mobile phone protocol, etc... are.
I fear that if they can't even get that right, the more secret military stuff won't be very realistic either.
Of course you can argue about how realistic the writers want it to be in the first place.
The only realistic 'crappy windows' computer stuff I ever saw on a tv show was in the wire.
It was an other reason why I liked it.
Usually computers on tv shows are magical machines that make stupid noises with every keystroke and can enhance a security camera image up to a point where you can count people's skin pores.

Dad died. Your traitorbaby has hair that will be a permanent reminder of your secret shame. Come home soon sis!

I have to admit laughing pretty hard when I saw that baby.
Also, I don't know if somebody mentioned it, but the actor playing her dad really died.
So, no surprise that they wrote him out of the show.

I thought they were setting up an IS related plot for next season.

Me too. I thought the writers felt they were being overtaken by reality.
"poo poo, what the gently caress are we still doing in Pakistan?! Syria and Iraq is were it's at. or rather IS at :downsrim: "
Sorry.
Anyway, if next season is Carrie sighing her way through family drama again I'll stop watching.
