People new to Quantico may ask: are these people spies, terrorists or fifth-column gamergaters?

The answer is yes.

I am literally counting down to the show's first quadruple agent.

It's like Axe Cop, but with a female FBI cadet.

P.S. having a young person list social media networks to an older person isn't a joke. I know it seems like a joke because you have the old person act confused, but its missing the essential elements of a joke such as 1) a set-up, 2) a punchline, or 3) a humorous subversion of expectations.

A young person listing social media networks to an older person should be in a lunchables or go-gurt ad about how parents just don't understand the modern responsibilities of being a Becomer.

Because your operations fall more under the purview of the FBI and not the CIA, like the Mafia?

Well THAT sucks. I was hoping Quantico would improve, mainly for selfish aesthetic reasons, because Priyanka Chopra is gorgeous. But oh well. I have The Walking Dead to take its place now. Not a total loss.

I still have to catch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and see if it's any good.

In the most recent TWD, they deal with a horde of zombies by letting them free.

In the most recent Z Nation, they deal with a horde of zombies by smashing them with a giant wheel of cheese.

Not surprised since the budget was slashed pretty dramatically and they only had 6 episodes to wrap everything up.

I never understood that. I mean, for certain shows, you can do basis of comparison. But Z Nation is a horror-comedy-drama. The Walking Dead is straight up horror-drama. And if you want to tie every other "zombie" show, iZombie is comedy-crime-horror and coming up Ash vs Evil Dead is horror-comedy. All these shows have different zombie types too. It's peas and carrots. Just watch the shows.

One thing I thought was really funny was how there was the scene where Vega was driving to the bad guy's house at the end and she was talking to the tech lady on the phone and the phone call was displayed on the car's windshield covering up the entire right half of it. That doesn't exactly seem super safe.

Another thing I thought was kind of bizarre is how Dash is supposed to be working with the cops as a tech for their crime prediction thing but apparently they decided that this means he doesn't actually have to do any work and they can just run around being cops with no oversight.
Yeah those were all kinda dumb. But mostly despite that I think it was the show's best episode because they weren't shoving new gadgets in your face the whole time and the male lead got something to do other than look sad the whole time (I swear he always looks like he's about to cry).

The show is super loving dead though.

Is Quantico just that one season of Nikita where Alex was undercover in assassin high school but stretched into a whole show? Because that's all I can think of when I see the commercials.

Each character has six dossiers of secrets and is working for another person in the shadows, and wants to gently caress one of the other members - and inevitably will at some point.

Their superiors/teachers subject them to tasks straight out of a reality show.

If you see the promos, you'll also find that they undercut the argument of the show being empowering to women

I can totally accept hot people schuping each other - as a concept, Shonda Rhimes TV is not my bag - but it's such a bummer to have an historic Indian actress lead a show and have it be as exploitative as that BS.

Quantico is not technically a Shondaland show, btw.

It just happens to be very much Greys Anatomy/How to Get Away With Murder-ish quite a bit though.

It's not by Rhimes, but it's straight-up the same format - on ABC.

On this week's episode of Minority Report Agatha used her future powers to kill a guy. Like a big piece of conflict is that Agatha sees them being locked up again but so far the show hasn't painted a very good picture of her or Arthur, who uses his ability to cheat the stock market and steal identities.

I'm not sure if it will be really good or really bad but the random rap dude apologizing to his dancers makes the show for me, also the getting ready for a date song.

I'd honestly like my name is Earl type show but starting a Suge Knight type guy trying to make up for his misdeeds.

Yeah, as a title, "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" certainly doesn't sound like it focuses on the kind of character you want to spend time with. I honestly wouldn't have watched it except I heard (or thought I heard) some random praise for it from a smattering of critics, and then Mara Wilson (if you're on Twitter and you're not following her, you're doing Twitter wrong) started plugging it as well, so I said "gently caress it."

And it's paying off so far! Hopefully they can get through the whole order and bring it in for a landing.

Its on the low end, but the first season did between a 0.6 and a 0.4. Remember, you're talking about the CW. That's the network that renewed Penn and Teller's Fool Us because it was a smash hit at a 0.5.

Speaking of which, this guy is amazing:
