- Affleck is a yes: the Oscar, the sympathetic narrative, a Fincher movie next and Batman after Gone Baby Gone and The Town.
- Scoot McNary is probably a yes.
- Arkin is a no because of Little Miss Sunshine.
- Goodman is a no.
- Movies or TV shows about the Iran hostage crisis get a yes, with probably no others.
- The other five of the Argo Six get a yes.
- Tate Donovan's own Apex is floated as Friends before settling on season one of The O.C.
- Cranston first gets a no for Breaking Bad, then a yes on the argument that Breaking Bad is surging toward its finale while he establishes himself in movies.
- The CIA is joked about as making a comeback after killing JFK, but no explicit Apex yes is given.
- Whether this is the Apex for exfils is asked but drifts into Proof of Life and Predator without an answer; exfiltration is defined.
