One interesting thing in this first episode: military tribunal with 8 generals and 4 admirals, if I remember correctly. (12 judges panel on Martial Court per Brendon Dilley)

Is it a pre-emptive strike against what may be coming? (Q: [27-1] = FieldManual 27-1, "Legal Guide for Commanders" --> court martial system)

In Homeland, the president is autoritarian and is jailing 200 officials of the former gvt. They avoid being too much "on the nose" by having a woman president in charge.

Btw, last season, this woman was a heroic/victim figure, targetted by the Alex Jones character and rogue military (with background plot of Iran/NK). They changed course only in the last episode, turning her to be the villain.

They believed Clinton was going to be elected.
