What is one of the telling signs that a show is good? When you look at the clock and the show is almost over yet it feels like it just started. A good show goes by fast and leaves you yearning for the next episode. I felt that was 30 minutes into the pilot episode of Blindspot. The set-up is pretty simple: A mysterious dufflebag is found in the middle of Time Square. Attached to the bag is a tag that says to call the FBI. If that doesn’t throw up a red flag, I don’t know what does. Eventually, as you’ve seen the the previews, a gorgeous woman (Jaimie Alexander) covered in tattoos gets up out of the bag with no memory of anything at all. A tattoo on her back has the name of an FBI agent (Sullivan Stapleton), so naturally he is brought in. What happens is what you expect to happen. She is questioned up and down. She is photographed and scanned up and down. There is no evidence of her on any database at all. This type is set up can lead to so many different possibilities. All of her tattoos could lead to multiple storylines and plots along the road which is why it’s simple, yet genius from a storytelling standpoint. …show more content…

Jane Doe — which is what Jaimie Alexander is named in the show — slowly shows that she can read and understand Chinese, and when attacked, she kicks the crap out of her attackers without knowing how she did

The broken windows theory is a criminological theory that if a neighborhood looks rotten then the more trouble it welcomes. In 1982, George L. Kelling and James Q. Wilson released an article focusing on the importance of the disorder. This theory is strongly attached to the African- American community. An area that shows a low population of existences states that fear or crime related situations caused the massive egress of residents. The lack of people to care for a community results into buildings looking forgotten. Therefore, broken windows appearance is a great way for convicts to hide because no one would go near a place that comes into view as spine-chilling. In additions, this produces a high risk of anxiety for African -American males believe that any moment a police officer can stop, question, and frisk them out of anticipation.
The CSI Effect is when jurors wrongfully acquit guilty defendants when no scientific evidence is presented (Neubauer, 2014 pg 370). Not until the 1990’s many techniques for forensics were not known to regular people, only scientist and criminal lawyers knew the procedures. That was until Hollywood started to have dramas about crime, and forensics on television. Crime Scene Investigation was very popular, drawing in ten to thirty million viewers a week.

Suppressing a shiver, Jorgan forced himself to stay focused on the aspects that would help them recognize her, instead of what kind of a person would trade their government, and body, to a man like Trenton. The file said she might have recently acquired a new facial tattoo in order to obscure her features. Problem was, no one knew what it was, and there wasn't an image of her in the file. That usually meant she went deep, which also meant she had access to the worst kinds of

The ailment of complete blindness is not one that is hard to understand. In this case, there is some damage to the visual system, the eyes, and therefore a person is left without all or most of their sight varying on the type of damage. However, a condition a little less understood and rather fascinating is blindsight, even the phrase itself sounds intriguing. In this particular case, the damage is not in the eyes, but in the primary visual cortex instead. The primary visual cortex is what converts the information we get from sensory stimuli into mental images that our brain perceives. Blindsight is a phenomenon that states that even though there is damage or complete destruction of the striate cortex, a subject can still respond to stimuli even though the
Cognitive paralysis is in effect! We the citizens of North American jeopardize our democracy, wellbeing, constitutional right, and most often our sentimental sense of place, during times of panic, threat or financial chaos or any other form of existential crises. The market and political vultures capitalize on these moments of cognitive paralysis for their personal agendas. In 2001, George W Bush was able to invade Iraq post hoc 911. When in reality the United States’ prime objective was to secure our foreign energy source from Saddam Hussein. We the citizens rallied around the flag because of the emotions of desperation and antipathy that were triggered by the crisis. The same fundamental affective irrational is being triggered and exploited
