Inside Job/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Alternative Character Interpretation:
 * Rand is confirmed to be a narcissist, as he literally shaped Reagan to have DNA more from him than from her mother. Yet despite the fact that he hurt both his wife and his daughter badly, to the point that the narcissistic Tamiko calls him out in part two for how he refuses to change his manipulative ways and that's why they divorced, Rand remains in denial that he did anything wrong. Is Rand even capable of love, or does he only see Reagan and Tamiko as extensions of his ego?
 * Given Brett's less-than-stellar family and the fact that his people-pleasing tendencies have led to him risking his life and, one questions if Brett is genuinely as happy-go-lucky as he appears, or if he is a deeply traumatized Stepford Smiler that has only reached this point after years in therapy.
 * Why every organization in the end of part two welcomes
 * Moral Event Horizon: The fact that characters in an evil corporation can cross it says a lot:
 * At first, Reagan's coworkers tease her for the way she handles her surprise relationship with Rafe Masters, the James Bond Expy that has a one-night stand with her. Rafe, however, has a bunch of red flags: if the fact that he slept with Reagan when she was drunk and regretted it the next day isn't Questionable Consent, the moment that does show he crossed it is when he reveals that Reagan's team go Mass "Oh Crap", Brett included, and say that is super messed up.

They all agree he is a terrible father. Reagan.
 * Brett's mother and father crosses it with the way they rank the sons based on their deeds and success, making Brett regress to the Yes-Man that he was in season one in their presence. Brett's.
 * J.R. is openly slimy and corrupt, but his respect for Reagan as she does improve her social skills and leadership with Brett's influence is one of his few good qualities in season one. The guy is also portrayed as a lighter shade of grey than Rand, in that he's not the one blowing up the sun to cure skin cancer. J.R. may have crossed this by sending people to shadow prison For the Evulz, but one horrible moment is
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: As Reagan concludes at the end of "Ghost Protocol," it's better to be upfront and "the bad guy" when you have to break up with someone who won't take a gentle hint, rather than ghost them either by avoiding their text messages or . To a lesser extent, never break up with someone in a public place. Either you will look like a monster, or the other party will guilt you into staying together.
