Sleeper Cell nominated for a Golden Globe
One of the fun things about Sleeper Cell so far has been that comparing the work these would-be terrorists do to the sort of work us non-terrorists do every day. Each of the cell members has strengths, skills, and weaknesses, and their leader Farik functions as a manager, praising, criticizing, motivating, and coordinating their work. Because they all have to work together Farik has had to swallow his disgust at some of the actions and opinions of members of his cell, and it has been fun to watch Oded Fehr emote these conflicted feelings as his character tries to keep everything moving forward. Ilija, as the most competent and serious cell member, with the biggest axe to grind, seems to spend a lot of time glaring at his fellow cell members when they don’t measure up. It’d be fun to see his character become more fleshed-out and have to learn some management skills — glaring at coworkers only goes so far as a motivating force. It’s just a thought. I’m very curious what they’ll do with any of the cell members who survive this season.
