Can we talk about Carrie's "disguise"?



OKAY...I love this show and am glad to be catching up on Season 5...but really, HOW lame is Carrie's disguise when she goes underground? Basically, she does NOTHING but don a wig that's a different hair color. (Oh Yes, and it has bangs.)

Someone please tell me...why is this??

Because all white people look alike in that part of the world

I can ... she has to be recognizable by the audience.
It is as simple as that. What is the point is making a
really great disguise ... it's all part of the cinematic
world. Like when they use children that look only
vaguely the the adults they are supposed to grow up
into in a movie .... you have to just agree to go along.
