Noooooooo! stay away from teenager orientated plots!!!
I'd like to see a better explanation of Carter's working relationship with GD security
word. I mean, it's possible that he was in the building at the time of the fire/explosion and was the only one with the balls to be the first responder while the geeks scientists stood around and formulated rescue plans. But if he'd been elsewhere and gotten called in... that makes no sense, especially given the restrictions on his access.
GD needs to practice it's fire/biohazard/atomisation drills
Or, it could be that he was the one who figured out whatever was going on, and got there first, and didnt' call GD security until it blew up.
could be.
The important thing is how wonderful Carter looked covered in soot. (Actually, in all seriousness, I appreciated that they came out of that room dirty)

What, no "Zoe the Android Slayer"?

Rethinking this a bit. In "Blink" GD Security responded to Stark and not Carter, so Carter must not have any direct authority over them. There may be a CoS at GD, but Stark is still going to be involved in any potential catastrophe or security breach.
Maybe Carter gets called in on all crises at GD to determine whether a criminal act was involved (kind of like an arson investigator) or just in case Stark decides on the spot that someone needs to be redacted.
Well, Stark
is
a control freak, so maybe he considers
himself
the CoS?
I wouldn't spend a lot of time on this-- it's a larger problem with the premise of the show. A sheriff wouldn't have to deal with a high-security quasi-military installation any more than there's a slayer born in each generation.
kinda like how the most important members and leaders of the crew of the Enterprise were always the ones to go on those dangerous away missions?
And also, I'd think that with his job description, he'd be cleared to nose around S5 (or at least
know
what was going on in there) Perhaps that issue will be addressed down the road (speaking of which,
was
he in S5 for that fire?)
Cobb had the appropriate clearance right? Cuz he actually was military, whereas Carter is not? Er, but all those scientists and even Stark are civilians, albeit government employees, which Carter also is. So why doesn't he have access?

What? You trying to tell me there's not a slayer born...

They're calling him "sheriff," but his boss at the U.S. Marshall Service called it a "promotion." That would imply that he's still a federal employee.
I won't even mention the thing about how there's no division of the FBI specially purposed to pursue supernatural phenomena...
