Episode 5 Discussion [re-watch]

[CONDOR]

I hate to be too cynical, but perhaps that is the very reason that she got the job, after all she spends most of her time on the Grid, who better to use to find out what is going on on the "shop floor". I don't think that she is as daft as she looks, after all, as has been pointed out, she knew exactly how to handle the "company" psychologist.
I think that we also need to remember that this is only a TV program and the writers could have just made a mistake. I would also add that very intelligent people often do not show much common sense.
Actually I like Sam a lot, she is very natural, I loved the scene in her first episode where she winked at the hidden camera, in the video shop, much to Tom's annoyance, but she did show that she was street wise.
