Is one of the recruits actually a sleeper agent? We earlier informed you how the western media has gone all cray over PC with only words of praise for her talent and beauty.

Quantico is also pulling from the historical archives, like Homeland’s Carrie, played by a tear-stained Claire Danes, and Zero Dark Thirty’s Maya, played by a stone-faced Jessica Chastain, by depicting women in pivotal roles in the fight for America’s safety.
The episode takes a leap of nine months and Alex is standing in the middle of a bomb blast. With hundreds of scripted shows this fall season, several of them with that familiar premise, why should audiences watch this one?
Oh yeah, totally. Brian’s a regular on Sense8 so it wasn’t suddenly like, “Oh, I’m going to kill Eric!” But beware anyone who says the show is “well-made”. She’s the quintessential woman.
Next up is a montage of the recruits leaving their hometowns.
The show opens with a disaster, a’la 9/11: New York’s been bombed and sirens are wailing. Clearly, Alex pulls no punches. I finished two already, and I come back here.
Each recruit is hiding a secret, and no one is as they appear, added Rogers. In between all of their rigorous training, they have to discover what that item is. She plays the flirt as well as self-assured field agent who could believably kick someone’s ass. He has a bit of a problem with alcohol. They hook up in his vehicle. He’s listed for the entire season, though, so he’ll obviously be back in some capacity. Follow her on Twitter @vickihy. “The writers and I talked about it as a snapshot that keeps widening out more and more, and then suddenly, the more people that are in the snapshot, the more you begin to realize how they’re connected”. Because once you see the explosion, you’ll want to know who might be the guilty one, too. Caleb asks how he ever passed a background check. In between their training sessions, each of them is on phone as the clock is ticking and they have to find each other’s secret.
Simon gets to interview Shelby first. “It was nearly 16 years and that’s fantastic”.
Nimah gets to question Simon next. The Arab girl and why she wears her headdress which way.
And the big differences between an ABC drama and a Bollywood thriller? This is not going to end well. Caleb reveals that he was only teasing him and he failed to find out anything. She died. Miranda is furious with Liam as they blame each other for vetting Eric. Well, that explains a lot. She’s as much of a character as Nimah. She says she will be right out. Even though she’s obviously Indian, let’s pretend she’s only half-so, and only if and when it’s convenient. At no point, however, does she deduce he was also on his way to Quantico.
I love SK-II masks ($135; sephora.com); it’s my go-to when I’m flying and I fly every week. It’s not until after he’s dead that she realizes that her father was in Central Intelligence Agency.
Ryan is undercover, and his assignment is to get close to Alex. O’Connor is the one that sent Ryan undercover. Looks like she was the target from the beginning. She sees some figures and calls for help. She is removed from the area by the agents. But it turn out that she has a twin sister, hidden in her dorm room, with whom she is constantly swapping places. So it’s not just coming up with a present-day story that involves all of the character complications and dynamics and relationships, but also what they’re learning at Quantico and how that pays off in the future with Alex on the run. In specific, someone that Alex was with at Quantico. “It’s more about the birth of a terrorist or terrorists”, he explains. Quantico’s big trick here is to defuse the initial sexual tension between Parrish and Booth by having Parrish put their tryst on blast in front of their fellow recruits. She gives Alex the keys to her cuffs, and a bag of clothes so nobody will recognize her. Oh, wait… NYPD and Federal Bureau of Investigation cars chase this van.

Variety says: “With an arresting lead in Priyanka Chopra, a former Miss World who was born in India, the show races through a lot of material very quickly, which makes it hard to get a firm handle on where all of this might settle”. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season unfolds.
