Quantico
- Thread starter slippery
- Start date
Let us know the timestamps to tune in for ass and titties. Based on commercials I've seen that's what this show is about.

Pretty much, I watched the first 20mins before I realized I'm watching Beverly Hills, 90210 with badges and guns.
Show was okay. Everyone was a bit too savant super analyst / profiler / idetic memory etc for my tastes. Seems like the only human on the show is the drunkard FBI trainer. Hopefully it gets better.
I would assume they pick candidates for the FBI with one of those type of characteristics present, since they're not going to let any idiot join the FBI, well, I would hope not anyways lol. So doesn't really bother me when shows that deal with intelligence organizations have those type of characters.
Yet, they have twins posing as one person right under their noses?, so not sure what to make of that yet.

I'm worried they are throwing too many subplots/red herrings at us too quickly for the average viewer. I have to think the twins are a deliberate plant by the FBI, just like the dude that slept with her was. There is no way they don't know there are two of them in that room. It isn't like she can hide under the bed while they come in to inspect/snoop while everyone is out at classes.
I'm also not a fan of the "nine months earlier" flashback type show, as I'm far more interested in the training stuff than the real case. My early money is on the drunk trainer doing this to either get back at the FBI or to come out looking like a hero and regain his status. That is probably too blatant and wrong, but knowing shows like this we'll have no way of even guessing until they tell us anyway.
I also suspect the whole detaining her thing was a ruse of some sort, possibly to lull the real bomber into complacency or maybe to make her try to run and thus look guilty, because if that agent really tossed a crumpled up piece of paper into the garbage right in front of her (miss or not) and then left her alone with it, he's an idiot. I have to assume that was on purpose, otherwise??
Main chick is crazy hot, and that's normally not my thing. I know there is a specific term for Indian (dot) porn, but I can't think of it, and I'm certainly not googling it. Anyway, I'd change my habits and watch some if she were in it. And the blonde girl is pretty hot too. Hell, even the twins are decent to look at.
Will keep watching, but mainly for the training stuff at this point. I'm a sucker for a good wizard/FBI/Ender school story, I admit it.

"Welcome to the FBI, the best elite police force in the world, first we're gonna let you go wild with your judiciary powers and go around doing deep background researchs about your fellow trainees with no warrant nor probable cause because we love how KGB ran their shit back in the day."
Now, let's talk about that silly red handle gun rule we have here, it's thorough enough only a tiny percentage of our narcissistic suidical trainees go nuts during our illegal lie detector phase and execute the lie detector tech for climax purpose".
There are way better tv shows out there nowadays, we don't have to deal with this soap opera bullshit.

I thought the show was enjoyable enough to DVR again. I wish they didn't do the flash back/flash forward shit. Like just tell the story.
To be honest the requirements aren't that strenuous for the FBI. 4 year degree in a select number of fields, background in LE / some form of military / Intel work is nice. Quantico is a training facility. Mostly advanced training for Intelligence Analysts.
No one finds a secret intentionally kept from FBI records in 24 hours. Not to mention those people were apparently gaining access to medical / financial / personal records that need subpoenas to access.
Don't get me wrong, i get it, its TV. I enjoyed the show and will continue watching, just wish that everyone wasn't super genius. The accessory characters like chick whos parents died on the plane who was a pro shooter, the dude that got in with help from his parents. Those were real characters. They had strengths and weaknesses.

I can get most of the shit those people got online for a 5 dollar fee. You'd be surprised what you can get people at different offices to do if you tell them you are really important.

Yeah no. FBI Academy is not that hard to get into all other things equal. Especially if you were in the Army or something before, and they give a ton of dumbasses TS Clearances there.
They do have the backstabbing nature of Academies down pat though! Other than that the show is terrible.
I know analyst positions are super hard to get in to. A buddy of mine has his PHD in Math. He taught advanced math courses at West Point, UCONN and Ohio State. The only reason he didn't go in to the military was because of a medical condition but his background is super clean. One of the smartest guys I know. Got turned down by the NSA and FBI for analyst spots.
P.S. - Still watching this shit show. It's not the worst thing on TV and if you ignore the holes in reality (like how agents train and shit) then it's a decent enough mystery. It's like watching Season 1 of The Following all over again.
Her acting and the show are shit though.
I shouldn't have agreed to watch this shit. The beginning of the episode had a news report of her being wanted and the photo they were using was a publicity shot of her wearing some sort of dress soaking wet on the beach.
Shit.
