In fact, I think the fact that they WERE betrayed by a spy only vindicates her caution.

I’m going to go ahead & suggest that his “awkward delivery” isn’t really an excuse for his sexism. I’m only extrapolating from the fact that he send a sexist rant to his co-workers, though. Just drawing a straight line between two data points.

It’s only censorship when the gover...oh...oh crap.

It doesn’t feel alien. It feels Alias. As in the original series.
