Hmmmmmmm, Black Pearl. I had to laugh, did a former ABC/Disney writer come up with that one?

I thought it was going to be Falcon Corp.  Yes, no hits on Black Pearl was strange and should have instantly raised the Stenbeck suspicion flag.  The writers need to explain that, although I guess James has computer experts that can do anything.

That was dumb as hell- and Paul sitting there gaping looking like someone unplugged him.

A 'Search Engine' on a computer hacked by James Stenbeck, would turn up exactly what James wanted.  Like fake results from a search, or a personal video message from him.

But Paul didn't even seem *surprised* that there were no results *whatsoever*. I think even Paul knows that the words ''black'' and ''pearl'' are about as common as words come, yet we didn't get any kind of ''WTH?'' reaction out of him, just a look of bland acceptance. Sloppy writing and directing, any way you slice it. eom MaryHatch

I agree - seeing no results for the two words "Black Pearl" was ridiculous.  The writers could have had Paul get a realistic result, be overwhelmed, and THEN have you-know-who appear on the screen.  What would have been the difference?  Instead of concentrating on the drama unfolding, we were busy thinking how unrealistic the search result was.  Way to pull the viewers OUT of the story, writers.
