- GoofsNo computer system goes into "boot mode" to perform a data migration, and it's virtually unheard of to perform a migration on the actual system you are currently using. Data migration is often done with dedicated hardware, in a clustered environment, and would not corrupt data during transfer as it is a non-destructive process. Erasing old data is only undertaken after a completed, checked and tested migration to stop such data loss.

Shepherd: Hello. My name is Major General Ellen Briggs, but you can call me Shepherd. I am responsible for today's attacks on American soil, and so are you. This country was founded on fairness, integrity, but it's been corrupted. Our leaders have failed us. They will call me a terrorist for what I've done, but I am and always have been a patriot. This is a call to arms, to stand up, to fight, because true freedom cannot come without true sacrifice, because no matter what flag they wield, those who oppose that freedom are our enemy now. These chairs are for those we have lost and for those who will follow, who will take up the fight. This is the dawn of a new America. It's time to take back our country.
Michelle Hurd playing the principal characters' mother, as a ruthless army general working to violently take over the country, was chilling, and our stalwart pair of stars saving the day were as convincing as any heroes on TV, much moreso than their numerous comic book counterparts who are actually possessed of super powers. Kudos to director Rod Seidenglanz for not only maintaining a breathless pace but handling the complicated logistics of the assault on headquarters with impressive skill.
The schmoes who produce "Quantico" should be assigned this episode as required viewing: perhaps they will see the error of their ways in recently turning a once-thrilling series into a needlessly cerebral talkfest.
