I had the same thought... "Way to fly under the radar there, Super Secret CIA Guys!"

The password thing makes me nuts, too. I have a few I commonly use, but none of them are anything anyone would associate with me in any way. Still not the safest (since they're real words and I repeat use), but at least I'm not using my prison number. And I said it in another episode thread, but I could totally just watch a show about Mousa and Hanin. And maybe Mousa's brother. I love Greer and Ryan, but I find the radicalization of the brothers and Hanin's rising concern to be hugely interesting.

I guess I figured they got to skip a lot of the debrief due to the one doctor's close relationship with the President. Although, you'd think that would....uh...make them MORE suspicious. Like it seems to have most of us. I think we were supposed to see that as him becoming more conflicted about his father? The kid playing Samir may just not have the depth of the actors playing his parents. (I could totally watch an entire show based on Mousa and Hanin.)

I enjoyed the casting. I was concerned about Krasinski, as I have trouble getting past the "Jim" thing, but I think he does a good job at distinguishing his characters - at least as much as someone as distinct looking as he is can. I don't necessarily think he has "typical action star" painted on him, but considering the character, that actually works well for me. I also really enjoyed Pierce as Greer and loved Cornish as Cathy. I though Pierce and Krasinski had great chemistry. With Cornish, I was thrilled to see an age-appropriate woman playing a love interest.. and as an added bonus, she didn't look like she was dying of malnutrition.

I've still only really watched the first half of season one, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I want to live in whatever strange universe The Tick lives in in his head. I loved his "You have to start learning your neighbors' names, Arthur, it makes the group hugs much less uncomfortable" and "That's not a stranger, that's Tinfoil Kevin! You see him everyday, and now you've seen most of his body!" Such a wingnut, but I'm kind of in love.
