Question of the week #10

In COMINT (1x05), Amador compliments Martha on her appearance. Martha complains (with Gaad present) that this is sexual harassment, and Gaad in turn rebukes Amador. But Gaad doesn't really believe what he's saying, and he lets Amador know that with Martha standing right there.  

I felt that this scene gave us a short but very significant glimpse into both the time period and the characters involved.  This scene helped set the stage later when we learned more about the Amador-Martha relationship.


This week's question: What were your impressions of this scene?   What other scenes did you feel helped flesh out the secondary characters?

You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)
