Hmm, interesting observation that Simon wants to connect with people but can't. Leads to intriguing possibilities…

I suspect given recent events in the news, this show is going to have to tread very carefully assuming the producers and the network even decide to continue airing more episodes. Almost every major character on the show is going to be a hot button for one reason or another, the characters of Nimah/Raina most of all.…

Half the fun is dissecting characters, plot, theme and what could have been done better. As far as entertainment value, yes it is silly and unbelievable but so were/are a lot of shows that went on to be highly successful, although they barely had anything resembling credibility or serious plot development. Most of the…

They do it deliberately so you can't tell that both characters are actually played by the same actress, Yasmine Al Massri. It is a trick in shows where having a single actor play twins who have to be seen as a single character is central to the plot. Again, I reference Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige", Leonardo di…

Yes, the new season isn't living up to my expectations either.

Yes, the same actress plays both parts. I see you are an Arrow fan as well.

Partially genetics and partially a good hair stylist :)

No, it's just one actress who is playing both parts.

If the writers are hoping for a season 2, BTW, they will never make their protagonist the terrorist. No scope for imagination. She's already done the jailbreak in the first episode. I was going to suggest that we think of the least likely person as the terrorist, but then I read this from 2 different posters on…

Technically I think there were what, 50 NATs on the first day at Quantico who were to be eliminated gradually?So not all the central stories have been told and it's possible his will be coming up.

Sounds good. :)

BTW, the first quote is just Miranda's actual instructions to the NATs.

The second quote is meant to validate Miranda's instructions about knowing yourself. In the second quote, Caleb is confessing that he is behaving like a jerk to Shelby, he is owning his behavior, which Miranda says is necessary to know anyone else, and wondering why Shelby is putting up with it. Her actual answer is,…

So here is my counter:

Ah, but it's not usually the men complaining about a lack of diversity. Also, I understand that the FBI is predominately white and male and "diversity" would probably be more appealing to the female demographic while my guess is that the male demographic is more concerned with the technology, special effects, stunts-…

Not as difficult to believe as you would think. PTSD is based on the coping responses to psychologically traumatic events. We expect women/girls to cry when something is deeply upsetting to them. But men have been socially conditioned that to do so is somehow a flaw rather than a sign of emotional health. Simon might…

Yes, but it wouldn't be as alliterative, unless it were Hanoi Hannah :) Why target Alex Parrish as the terrorist? What is it about her that makes her more likely than the rest of the NATs to be a potential terrorist? Wouldn't an equally likely suspect be Nimah because of her religious beliefs, or Simon because of his?…

You could be right and yes this is a show about everyone's secrets. There is relative, but not absolutely honesty from every single character, including Liam and Miranda.

Why exactly is he a jerk? He is a big talker and a grandstander, which is mildly annoying but as of now, he hasn't done anything truly venal. If Caleb truly wanted to get rid of Shelby, he'd have done something by now. He challenges her to "shut him up". She could have walked away, slapped him, gone to their…

Don't remember when that happened but if so, at least it shows that the writers are trying to insert some factualism into their stories. Call me cynical but sometimes I think this country goes too far in protecting the rights of the individual over those of the majority, no matter what the issue and then everybody…
