    She is the core that lightens up the show in her own way. And she bears something the rest of the world need in reality, the fight for the right thing, at least from her long-term story line. The character defiantly has her flaws, what we could probably see some on season 1 and 4, but she is just fucking awesome. I can be bi bc of her lol

      If you haven't seen "House of Sand and Fog" I recommend it most highly. She was Oscar-nominated for it - deservedly, in my opinion - and remains the only Persian-born actress ever nominated for an Academy Award. She's so good that she's even perfect in scenes where she's in the background. Oh, and Season 4 of "24" features her in a major guest role that the fans eventually dubbed - quite fondly - "Terror Mom".
