  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Bradley Fine, as mentioned on the main page, skirts the line of being a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing / Manipulative Bastard. While he is a genuine Nice Guy, appreciates Susan's assistance, and is 100% supportive of her becoming a field agent at the end, he also takes her for granted by having her do menial tasks for him. This really comes down though to whether or not the viewer agrees with Elaine Crocker's assessment of his character (that he "sniped" Susan and convinced her to take a desk job so she wouldn't outshine him as a field agent), or if he was just genuinely looking for a support partner, thought she'd do a great job (which she does), and Susan readily agreed because she had the hots for him.
  • Awesome Music: Ivy Levan's "Who Can You Trust". For some listeners, it even sounds like a better James Bond theme than that of Spectre, which premiered the same year.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: It's pretty interesting how two films came out within a short amount of time that both feature a character berating another character played by Björn Gustafsson to the point of crying minutes before his death.
  • Ho Yay: When De Luca observes why Reyna chose to fraternize with Agent Fine.
    De Luca: I can see his obvious... outer appeal. (To Fine) You have terrific eyes.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The man who tried to poison Rayna's drink getting his throat 'dissolved' after being forced to drink it himself. No wonder Susan fainted at the sight.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Karen Walker only gets a couple minutes of screen time and is killed off literally the moment she's revealed to be a double agent, despite Morena Baccarin definitely being capable of handling more material in the same vein.
