Round Table - UNCLE IQ

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

What is Illya thinking?  The look on his face is somewhere between amusement and sympathy for his partner, who has a smile on his face that just might be covering up for the fact he has no idea what George Dennell is talking about.
I know Napoleon is smart, but this  photo seems to tell a story of some sort.
There also seems to be a lot of static electricity in the air ;)

The screencaps are from Lisa's

Who: George Dennell, Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon Solo Where: U.N.C.L.E. HQ When: Dennell: "...but has the advantage of being able to cover a 175-degree arc on the earth's surface without having to go through a relay station."

And then there's the Virtue Affair, in which the brainiac Russian who we are later told has a Doctorate degree in Quantum Mechanics, cannot explain the workings of this missle aparatus.  Outside of a lack of continuity, is there another way to explain this lapse?

Who: Illya Kuryakin Where: Robespierre's lab complex When: Illya: "Now, if this piece does not work as it is designed to do, every single piece of the mechanism will not work."

 In contrast to Illya's struggles, Napoleon rigs up an ingenious method of electrocution in order to escape?  Now's who's clever?

Could the Virtue faux pas be - in part, anyway - he's just not good at explaining? After all, no script writer ever made him a professor of education.

edit: I don't have Virtue to hand, so you're welcome to tell me I've overlooked something obvious.

You give him a graceful means of explanation.
