Exactly. These aren't perfect or superior people...they're
just like us, faced with the same problems we're faced with. What's
inspiring is seeing that people just like us *can* overcome these
things...at great price, yes, with great difficulty, yes, but if we
decide to act, we can succeed.

And yes, instead of going for a sinister EA look, I wanted the
uniforms to be something we're used to, "our side," as you say. There
aren't many blacks-and-whites on this show. It's all greys...and
sometimes olive drab.
