Fans of Covert Affairs‘ Auggie (Christopher Gorham) are getting to see what the blind CIA tech head does when he’s not “handling” Annie (Piper Perabo), courtesy of the six-week Tweetcast: Mission Budapest. Developed by the shows creators, writers, and Gorham, the series of tweets — including videos, photos, audio streams, and classified documents — follow Auggie as he guides two CIA operatives with a romantic past through an op in Hungary and continues to live his life outside of the office (have we gotten video of him swimming yet?).You’ve got to love the idea of CIA operatives tweeting their whereabouts next to photos of their faces. “Yes, that did occur to all of us,” Gorham laughs. “The suspension of disbelief is that it’s not the regular Twitter, that when you’re following the Tweetcast, you are becoming a CIA officer and it’s an interoffice Twitter.” The real mission, of course, is to expand the world of the series, assure the audience that Auggie does more than serve Annie, and introduce agents who, at some point, may enter the show. (A filmed resolution to the Tweetcast will air during Covert Affairs‘ July 12 episode as a payoff to fans, who can also help influence how the mission unfolds.)
