I think part of the reason she is accepted is because of the PR job Chopra does. She seems to be a very charismatic and confident individual, which may in large part compensate for her lack of actual acting ability. By nuanced I meant that a character is played as more multidimensional rather than a stock hero or…

As a relatively new poster, I hadn't seen your earlier posts on Defying Gravity, so I was going off my own observations of the show's format.

Well, yes, she has basically good facial structure, a curvy figure, long healthy hair, the right clothes and makeup, is in good physical shape so I can see why many would consider her beautiful.

Agreed. It takes a while to transition from the Indian style of filmmaking to a more nuanced style. Directors in India are slowly catching on though. By and large such distinctions of what makes a good actress would bypass the masses there, who do go to the movies to shut off their brains for a few hours.

To each his own, I guess :)

And look at her jeans in the picture above. If you are going to be in situations where you might be climbing, tripping over things, running etc. you at least want to make sure you wear clothing that can protect your body from injury which could potentially leave a blood trail for your pursuers.

She's actually considered quite beautiful in India.

So what do authors do when they are writing a long series in order to keep up with their characters and what happened in previous books?

But to a certain extent don't we turn our brains off when we watch movies or television? If we wanted reality all the time, we would watch the news. It's only with the magic of cameras, special effects, computers, stunt people, etc. that implausible things become plausible and that allows us to dream or exercise our…

Unlikely that would occur but not impossible. People being human and imperfect, mistakes can always happen. We are also assuming that the mole is a young zealot and is in fact one of the trainees because that is what we have been led to believe in the first episode. But we also later discover that nothing is as it…

Look at it this way. We are used to storylines that start at the beginning and move to an ending or start with an ending and go backwards to the beginning. The technique for Quantico is a novel twist by telling the story from both ends and moving towards what I assume is a turning point where one of the characters is…

Fair enough :)

Yes, but at the most I'm guessing she could only conceal a single handgun on extremely short notice and I am not sure that is even possible with the clothes she was wearing when she got into the van. Handguns have, what, 6 bullets? If anyone spotted her on the street, they would probably alert the authorities rather…

Well in the promo for the 2nd episode, Simon and Alex figure out that it has to be someone who marked Alex the minute she came to Quantico. Liam is the one that Alex goes to in the first episode in order to find out more about her father's involvement with the FBI. If her father did work for the FBI, Liam must have…

How is she dangerous? Where are her weapons? She was handcuffed when she got into the van taking her to jail and I didn't see Miranda handing her any guns, only the key to free herself. In what way does an unarmed female pose a threat to the general population? Ok, she has her wits but face to face with the average…

Me too.

"Sunday night on ABC used to be family viewing…. But the first episode was pure smut (promiscuous sex, endless race baiting, LGBT social engineering)…Gay men kissing each other (who were also strangers???), race bait victim scenes one after another…. With AIDS, a pandemic of STDs and our emerging PC feminist idiocracy…

Ah, the magic of fantasy, where anything you imagine can happen!

Bear in mind, this is a TV show. Therefore the whole story is someone's fictional creation to set up a past that is so traumatic for one of the characters, made worse so because he hides the details in order to get into the FBI training program, but is always terrified that the truth will be discovered. Now as far as…

I re-read your comment and I had misinterpreted it, so my apologies. You were trying to say that the FBI would like to have agents of diverse ethnic groups and both genders, etc. although this is not what the show is portraying because it still skews white and male. Possibly as the cast fledges out in later episodes,…
