User blog comment:Tortor/Who ISN'T the mole?/@comment-4621444-20120124193600/@comment-3465526-20120125014932

The only way I know there is a mole is because the writers keep spending valuable show-story time TALKING about there being a mole. Every day, people talk for hours about insignificant stuff. "is Martian Manhunter's skin getting greener?",  "What's with Captain Marvel-- how come he likes hanging around with teenagers so much?",  "Have you seen how much groceries are costing in Happy Harbour at the supermarket?  I swear, we should just teleport soap and paper towels in from Chicago"  -- lots of insignificant things.

But one conversations that AREN'T insignificant are ones that writers include in shows because they are necessary to move the story. "Do we think there is a mole?" is only important IF THERE IS A MOLE. (really, there is no reason in the world to think there is one -- the writers just lost track of that fact because they know there IS one)
