* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Iran as seen in "Desperate Times" and "Desperate Measures" is not just TwoDecadesBehind, it is more like Four Decades Behind. Customs agents don't ask what your religion is at the airport. There aren't armed guards and secret police on every street corner. Arabic isn't widely spoken in Iran, and even more outrageously, the Farsi in the show is rather shoddy. The arc's villain, Fahim Jarif, has an ''Arabic'' name. Ironically, the show's portrayal of a supposedly 2017 Iran would be much more accurate if it was set in '''Saudi Arabia''' instead.
