You know those annoying things in TV programmes that you think would never happen in real life like woman investigating strange noises in the basement or cops who can't seem to make the obvious choice and shoot the guy before he presses the button? Well I was watching episode 3 of 24 season 8, something I have always really enjoyed and more or less been hooked on from episode to the next. WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS?
Ok, here's a woman, she works for a sensitive government counter-terrorism unit, one mistake here or there and something big will go wrong. She has some secret from her past and some ex-boyfriend turns up and threatens to do something bad. What should she do? Confess to the boss? Send someone else out to meet him and pretend he got the wrong person? Get a friend to investigate? Get security to chuck him in prison? Pay some rough-neck to send him packing? or none of the above.
You guessed it, she meets up with him proving that she is the person he has been looking for, talks with him, offers him money to go away which of course proves that she will do anything and then Lord forbid gives him the keys to her flat and tells him he can stay night and needs to go tomorrow. I mean honestly.
I know these things are dramatized for TV but that was so unbelievably stupid and contrived that I got angry and had to switch it off and delete the rest of the episodes. This will now be the end of my 24 watching - it has hit a new pathetic low.
Sorry guys!
