> He should have been shot dead in the first episode.
I've watched that show. Cute Aussie gal... Who wouldn't?
He should have been either locked away in a box under Langley and drugged into oblivion in the first episode (no habeas corpus in this country anymore) or been trained how to duck in the first episode... and when it became clear that he had been up for recruitment in college and was qualified and pre-screened, they should have formally recruited him and sent him to CIA training camp.
As it stands now, the show makes no sense. Actions don't necessarily follow in a rational manner from what preceded them. The characters are practically inert until events force them to act. The characters aren't evolving and the threats are getting bigger just to provide motivation.
What all that amounts to is that it's kind of boring. Which is sad. Because it had some modest potential in the beginning. Good casting. That Aussie gal is cute.
