Despicable? Really? I quite dislike Rico for sure, and I do think I've been taken in to some extent by, as you say, their swagger. I still don't buy Nate as being as bad (at this point anyway) as Teti makes out though. I see his "everything's cool!" attitude as a reasonable reaction against the uptightness of his…

The moment I always remember is the emergency planning committee in the bunker having some dull meeting about food stocks, and then the buzzer suddenly goes off, a disembodied voice says "Attack Warning Red! Attack Warning Red!", and they all panic, all too believably.
