I hate this episode! A senator threatens the President of blowing up a national security issue and he backed down!! I would have said, senator, if you hinted anything at all about this major national security risk, that'll be an act of treason and you will go to prison!! This Pres is a weakling! He let Sophia out, and then buckle down to a senator! And then a highly secure fort was overran, and then a STUPID soldier betrayed his country by opening the gate to let the detainees escape! How can things be so contrived! Grrr!! The writing sucks!!! As a writer, I would have made Thomas use their tech powers to open up the gate, would have been more credible. After all they can make a plane move to anywhere in the world in seconds.
