Quantico: Fast

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 24 August 2016]

We pick the story thread of Natalie who no one has mentioned given that she took emergency leave but her mother has approached Ryan who looks into the matter.

Caleb meets again with the chief of Sistemics. I hope there is no Miscavige of Justice in his portrayal. Shelby nearly ruins his infiltration though.

The major part of this episode is that it is careers day. Liam introduces the trainees to their post graduation career possibilities and the chance to try out the different fields. Here the trainees have been given a handler from hell. He is gruff, unfriendly and has more than a touch of 'wax on-wax off' of Mr Miyagi from The Karate Kid as he gives them menial tasks to do. The twins do not take to him and see evidence to mistrust him and even find him dangerous.

The twins learn a valuable lesson that if they want to have a long career at the FBI, they need to be more than short term assets in the war on terror but develop more longer lasting skills.

An interesting episode but not a great episode. The mystery of the voice goes up a notch but is rather lost with the other story strands.

Wow! Even the writers are having trouble keeping track of the various story lines

How are the viewers supposed to be able to keep track of the various story lines when even the writers seemed to be having difficulty??

There is so much time shifting between Quantico training and the future ... it's not always clear where they are in each time period.

For example, Miranda was recently fired from her position at Quantico (due to her handling of the situation with her son). She was supposedly being demoted to some lowly position. But in THIS episode, she seems to be in charge of SOMETHING at the NYC office.

Caleb's dad was killed in one of the bombings in NYC, and yet here he is alive and well. Does that mean in one of their recent time shifts from Quantico to NYC it's to a period that preceded the bombing? Without a program guide, there is no way to know.

And I have NO clue what's going on with Shelby and Caleb. They are in different positions and situations in every episode. *I* don't remember Shelby quitting or being fired from the FBI, but in THIS episode, she seems to be working for a private company (hers???) that is installing an upgrade. And the writers (and consequently the viewers) have NO clue what Caleb is up to (keeps changing every episode, and not in a consistent manner).

Also, one moment Alex seems to be a valued member of the NYC team, the next she is shunned and not trusted by everyone. And then the next episode it's back to her being trusted again. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

This show would benefit from a continuity person (or even a team).
