Sorry, but I'm not buying that any agent in the same situation would have dropped his gun. No way.
Seriously, were the earlier seasons this full of cheesy soap operas and so many escapes that it is beyond any type of belief? I can look past the little stuff like everything being within 5 minutes of CTU, since that is needed for story compression, but all these silly escapes are so ridiculous.
What a waste. Reminds me of how Fox News pisses all over itself with nonstop "Fox News Alerts", Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson, and car chases.
You know you could start a thread for people who don't like 24 and you could all go over to it. That would be nice.
Concur.
