Hollywood often requires suspension of disbelief from its audience,eroticism tumblr especially in TV shows like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryanre-re-re-re-reboot on Amazon.
But the titular character's navigation of our nation's capital is a stretch of the imagination that just goes too far.

So they rose to the call of journalism, followed a hunch, did the research, found the evidence, and came to a damning conclusion.
Jack Ryan's D.C. commute must exist in some alternate dimension of Washington.
Basing her calculus on the pilot episode of Amazon's newly released series, DCist staff writer Natalie Delgadillo broke down an early sequence where John Krasinski's Ryan is getting to work at the CIA HQ, which is located in Langley, Virginia.
And his supposed commute defies just about every law of physics, logic, and geography:
We first see Krasinski-as-Ryan rowing underneath the Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge on the Potomac River. He drops off his boat at the Potomac Boat Club, an actual rowing club that faces the Potomac on one side and K Street NW on the other.
Then the camera cuts to Ryan biking through Georgetown (you can see a street sign that reads 35th Street NW). This is already starting to not make sense. According to Google Maps, it is indeed possible to bike from the Potomac Boat Club to Langley—it's a six-mile ride that would take about 37 minutes via the Capital Crescent Trail.
Instead, we see Ryan cycling deeper into the city via Georgetown. Yes, the Potomac Boat Club is in that neighborhood, but Ryan is presumably trying to go in the opposite direction.
But the nonsense didn't stop there.
Ryan -- a man of peak physical condition but apparent mental insufficiency -- bikes along the Tidal Basin where he zooms past the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Inexplicably, he's then biking away from the Capitol Building.

At that point, Ryan's commute to Langley goes even more rogue.
When next he appears, he's in a suburban neighborhood -- which is at least warmer to where real-world Langley is located. But apparently, after Googling one of the shops seen in the background, Delgadillo found that Jack Ryan had somehow biked his ass all the way to Easton, Maryland.
Now, we'll happily see evidence otherwise, but we feel confident in stating that the District of Columbia is notMaryland.
But after his casual roundabout tour of the entire city of D.C., Ryan finallyarrives at the CIA HQ. And to his credit, he looks pretty fresh for a guy who just effectively cycled enough miles to clock in a marathon.

Of course, we all understand that movie magic dictated the geography of this scene much more than logic. The fun of TV and film is that it doesn't have to abide by the laws of reality.
But for some Washingtonians, the unreality was a bit too much to swallow. Especially when they don't have movie magic on their side while navigating streets that won sixth place in Business Insider's list of the top ten cities with the worst traffic.
At least Jack Ryan is tasked with protecting America rather than teaching its geography.
