Line 65:
** Subverted when Auggie has his talk with Arthur. Arthur explicitly tells him that "The chair's right in front of you." so that Auggie can sit down.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: In "Bang and Blame", {{spoiler|the leak at the Farm that's revealing potential trainee's on line (and thus effectively destroying their career at any sort of clandestine organization forever)? One of the trainee who wants to be number one. Yeesh.}}
* [[Do You Want to Haggle?]]: At one time both Annie and Eyal are trying to [[Manipulative Bastard| charm]] a Syrian employee, Annie posing as a glamorous socialite, Eyal as a cosmopolitan and very available bachelor. Whereupon the Syrian [[Cutting the Knot| comes right out and says]] in effect that she is not stupid, she knows what they both want and she wants them to bid for her service.
* [[Doesn't Like Guns]]: Annie, technically, but it's justified in that 1) she's suppose to be a museum curator in most of her covers so guns would break her cover and 2) she never completed gun training before being brought up from the Farm so she probably isn't even allowed to use a gun unless she's forced to.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Episode seven features a lot of shirtless Auggie. And it's ''awesome.'' And apparently someone at USA knows how to [[Fandom Nod|play the fangirls]], because episode nine has this as well.
Line 85:
** Not to mention the fact that the show has gone out of its way to include a scene of Annie in a bikini in darn near every episode or, alternatively, putting her in short cocktail dresses showing off her legs.
** Heck, the season 1 premiere starts off with a several minute long non-speaking sequence of Annie wandering around a beach in a bikini. Complete with [[Foot Focus]].
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Annie seems like a [[Girl Next Door]] but she has no problems using her feminine wiles to manipulate marks.
* [[Foot Focus]]: Annie has to take off her shoes when stepping into a stream where a retired agent was fly-fishing. The camera focuses on her bare feet for a full minute.
** It happens again in an episode where she's in a bubblebath, and again in an earlier episode.
Line 96 ⟶ 97:
{{quote|"And this is when you steal some poor hapless peasant's vehicle; his only worldly possession."}}
* [[Grey and Grey Morality]]: Henry Wilcox
**He is strongly implied to have sponsored Ops that [[Even Evil Has Standards|even the CIA]] thinks are beyond the pale; a running theme is Arthur being in legal difficulties because of dirt that overflowed from Wilcox's schemes and Auggie once actually calls him [[Satan|the Prince of Darkness.]]
***Henry is later shown not to be just an unscrupulous schemer (which at least sort of comes with the job) but a traitor.
* [[Government Agency of Fiction]]: The Domestic Protection Division. Notable since the CIA is a foreign intelligence service yet for obvious reasons the show takes place mostly in the States. Something of [[Truth in Television]] as the CIA has 90% of its employees in the States. Most of whom are likely support for the operatives, analysts for the information, management/administration, or counter-intelligence rather than any sort of shadowy internal espionage thing (which, as mentioned above, is the FBI's purview).
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: '''Auggie'''. Just all the way through. He's the one who teaches Annie grappling, for one thing.
Line 196 ⟶ 199:
