What I've Learned from "24" - Part 3

If you enter a server room, and there are people shot on the floor, and your servers have just been wiped clean, and you're in the middle of a terrorist attack where there might be moles in your organization - don't take the word of the only guy left alive in the server room!!! Of course he's going to blame it on the dead chick. Of course he shot himself. DUH!!

But NOOOO, dumm-o "Agent Moss" was like, "Hey dude (read: terrorist mole), we're down a man and really need your help. Never mind that you're shot in the arm, you killed another agent, and you were the only witness to her supposed treasonous activity. Get back in the saddle. OH, and by the way, why don't we tell you every important classified piece of information while we're at it."

Can you tell I'm disillusioned by this show. Even so, I had to tear myself out of the chair to go check on our screaming 7-month old. Poor thing - she was probably just in pain over the poor acting, writing, and helpless future of this "thriller."

Aaron loved this post - and for the record I think Agent Moss is one of the dumbest characters on the show. And despite all that I still find myself sitting down every Monday night to watch.

And you know that Agent Moss is going to die because:
1) he's really stupid
2) he believes in playing by the book and
3) he has a thing for the same girl as Jack Bauer

Dead, dead, dead.
