Forgive me for being pedantic. The agent's name in Mission Impossibles is Ethan Hunt.

Forgive me for being even more pedantic, but the person who received the self-destructing messages was Dan Briggs, who was replaced by Jim Phelps on season 2. Ethan Hunt only got the job on the first movie of the series.

Good catch. And yes, I intentionally conflated the two series, which might be unforgivable.

The fastest way to get an answer on the internet is to post a wrong answer.
