Going into S6 would be smoother if BC had been played as a smaller organization that began it’s political takeover agenda in Portland. Pretty much what BC turned out to be without the hoopla of global threat. HW wasn’t necessary.
BC was like most real-world terrorist groups. They may have the ability to take over a city here or there and to inspire followers to riot in the streets or drive trucks through crowds, but tactically they are nothing more than a bee stinging an elephant. Their real ability to have global impact comes from the public fear they can generate that drives people to change the way they live their lives and to give their support to demagogues. Kind of a hard to do when you're keeping your movement secret, isn't it?
And yes, HW was totally unnecessary. Everything they did in Portland could have been done by a specially vetted FBI task force located in the federal building in downtown PDX, and overseas by the CIA working in conjunction with other countries' intelligence. Someone in DC just jumped at the chance to create another acronym with its own budget and secret base.
