I am feeling incredulous that this guy Doug is still with the FBI. That guy acts like some kind of idiot or child.

I mean, at this point, I might as well put in my application for the Bureau. If that is somehow the standard, I might have a chance if I can sit still and keep my hands to myself.

Because he has a goofy, loud personality, and is a bit of a wild card? What exactly did he do in episode 1 that makes you so certain that he is unqualified for his job?

He was the one that put his nose into this case and realized that there was something fricky going on, and his idea to go undercover like that made it incredibly easy for them to trojan horse their way right in there. Also, his coworkers clearly seemed to like him.

I think he is hilarious. I laughed out loud several times.


As far as the over-reaction to going under cover with a Mcdonalds employee, can you imagine the shite storm that would ensue if something happened to her during that operation? It didn't seem like it was that big of a risk, but there WAS a risk involved. And the bad side of that risk likely would've been a scandal with people losing their jobs.
