The way a case officer becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is through the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During dialogue from The Martian in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as "Overcome By Events". In U.S. government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym “OBE” is "Overcome By Events"… The opening credits introduce characters and scenes from the series, which are interspersed with mirrored panels. Former CIA counterintelligence director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “poet-spy,” described the intelligence game as a “Wild of Mirrors,” a phrase taken from a T.S. Eliot poem called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an interior monologue about the opinions and impressions of an elderly man describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and its reflection, an illusion, if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors”… The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). The Agency is a must-see for any fan of spy thrillers. First, the cast is absolutely amazing. Starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. The cast is enough reason to give it a try, and it’s a really good show. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show and most of the cast nominated for some awards come season one. The series is about a secret CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his secret life behind and return to the field with his ex-lover (Waterston), who he’s still in love with. His love for her starts to interfere with his real life and mission. If you’re a fan of spy thrillers or good mystery series, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
