Some random thoughts about the premiere: The lead actress is very weak, she can't act. The show did well in portraying everyone as shady with several layers. You know you can't trust anyone. That said, I'm sad to see Brian J. Smith gone already. I like him as an actor, and would have liked to see more of him, oh well.. I guess I'll have to wait until Sense8 comes back. Now for the gay character.. I have a really bad, and I mean AWFUL feeling about this. Since when does a gay guy not have sex with his boyfriends? My worst fear is that Simon isn't really gay. Just think about it.. the way he acts.. like he says he's gay every moment and doesn't hide, he's open and proud. Which I guess is not bad in itself, but it's just way too OTT. Like...it's all an act, like Simon is playing a character. My guess is that the gay thing is just a front. He's not really gay. The writers realized how offensive it would be to have a character pretend to be gay, so they added a recurring gay FBI agent as an apology (Elias Harper, played by Rick Cosnett), in order not to piss of the gay viewers. The show in itself is just not very good. It's not the worst I've seen, but not the best either. I'll give it a few more episodes, but like I said I have a really bad feeling about Simon. Oh well.. at least Rick Cosnett is back on tv. I'll definitely tune in to see him. I agree with everything you said and I was getting that feeling about Simon as well. It does seem like he's just playing a character by saying he is gay but I hope that he really is unsure about his sexuality and Cosnett's character will help him realize this - or that he actually is gay. (And the coffee guy was pretty cute!) I was also surprised that Smith's character had such a short lifespan. I guess that was why it was hard for me to find information about his character.

I assume there must be an aspect of the lead character where Priyanka Chopra excelled since the role was almost certainly written for a white actress but they decided to spin it as a biracial character when they cast her instead. Nowhere in the pilot do they reference her obviously Indian heritage (unless I missed something), unlike what they did for the Jewish, Muslim and Mormon recruits. She is drop-dead gorgeous though, I'll give her that. In a cast that includes Jake McLaughlin, Graham Rogers, Brian J. Smith and Rick Cosnett, I feel she still comes out tops - and that's really saying something! But I guess she is in a whole other league, being a former Miss World and all that.
Not impressed by the Simon character so far. If he is a pretend-gay, why doesn't he just have gay sex? Are they trying to tell it's so disgusting that it is the red line for someone who's willing to go completely against his Jewish heritage and upbringing? I hope we get a better explanation than that - or indeed a better gay character. Rick Cosnett seems to be little more than a dayplayer. I'd be impressed if one of the male leads was gay or bisexual. Maybe Caleb can come on to Simon and that's what trips him up. I'd pay good money to see Graham Rogers in a gay storyline.

Rick Cosnett was adorable in tonight's episode of Quantico. "I like poking holes into stuff." <33
And of course, there's more shenanigans from Simon.

After the new episode there's at least one positive thing to take from this: Simon probably didn't do it, or else Alex wouldn't trust him, right?

But from the looks of it he didn't make the FBI either. And it seems as if he is falling for Raina(?). I wonder if there's anything to that or if he's just figured out they are twins and he's intrigued by them.

Simon's gone to an awful amount of trouble and invested a lot of time into establishing this gay cover of his. And I'm not sure I trust this show not to reveal that his whole reason for doing that was just to provide a distraction away from his real past. He's clearly "into" Nimah/Raina. But hopefully Elias is there to offset any offensiveness theyve probably created with Simon, and Elias will be getting his own action. Rick is very cute, and the line about loving to poke holes in stuff was quite erotic. Now let's see a bit of him poking those holes

Reading the comments and all, sounds like I'm not watching this show. Fake gay? sounds not like my type of show.

My problem is why we don't get to see at least a kiss between Elias and the fake boyfriend, but heterosexual sex is all on. I don't have time for this.
