...hide from the cameras. In Season 5, contestants Hosea Rosenberg and Leah Cohen--with a girlfriend and boyfriend at home--struck up a flirtation, which led to a surreptitious smooch session on the Top Chef house couch. Their love nook wasn't secluded enough to escape the cameras, however...

...drones are far from infallible, however. They can survey only small patches of territory at a time, and it would take thousands of them to cover every nook and cranny of Pakistan's long frontier. Several crashes have been reported. Thermal cameras are notoriously imperfect. Even under ideal conditions, images can be blurry. In one of several stills from drone video seen by TIME, it's hard to tell if a group of men is kneeling in prayer or the men are militants in battle formation. "The basic problem with all aerial reconnaissance is that it's subject to error...

...maze movie flatters viewers' intelligence, their ability to sort out the jigsaw pieces of an elaborate puzzle. So the film hopscotches the globe, Syriana-style, from Qatar to Syria, Amman to Baghdad, with an incendiary side trip to Manchester, England, and back to Hoffman's office and breakfast nook in Virginia. The film introduces so many swarthy faces--foremost among them Hani Salaam (Mark Strong), the Jordanian intelligence chief--and in such a hurry, you may feel you need the equivalent of the 55-card deck of Saddamists the U.S. military handed out at the beginning of the Iraq invasion...
