I'm just amazed he had Cecil's password. Come on Cecil, you run this huge government spy agency, please tell me you aren't writing your passwords on a Post-It note on the back of your monitor. A guy as paranoid as him doesn't even implement two factor authentication?

Yeah, Cecils been dumbed down this season, and I really hope they end up giving an explanation.

He does seem dumber this season doesn't he?

Episode 1

Mark: "Put me in, coach!"

Cecil: "No, first get your head straight."

4 hours later, with nothing different

Mark: "Put me in, coach!"

Cecil: "OK, go take down the Mauler twins without any backup."

Episode 2

Cecil: "Here Mark, let me throw you into this delicate diplomatic situation with a civilization you didn't even know existed. No I don't have time to tell you anything about them."

Mark: "Uh, hey, this isn't a marriage ceremony it's a fight to the death."

Cecil: [Shocked Pikachu face] "Fuck 'em then, genocide the place."

Episode 3

Mark: "Hey, I need to go save a planet that needs my help."

Cecil: "But you work for me!"

Mark: "Sorry, saving billions seems more important."

Cecil: "Ugh, just like your father. He didn't listen to me either."

Yep, that and allowing the martian guy on the Guardians of the Globe. They had tryouts for the other characters and presumably did background checks, but this guy who is clearly not human can just waltz in and join?

That said, I feel like they actually are gonna explain this point. It's a bit too on the nose for them not to.

I think a few characters are dumbed down for the TV audience. If I recall the comic, he acts suspicious but not THAT suspicious.
