You know, I have to make a comment about “Lie to Me.” I think it’s a great show, but I had extreme difficulty stomaching the season finale episode.
Nothing but Bush bashing, and painting the picture of the absolute horror of that CIA guy bugging the mosque “illegally,” which, incidentally, allowed them to actually break the case. Oh, the irony!
Plus the whole “Tyranny,” comment. Hmm. Does Lightman lump Lincoln in that group due to suspending Habius Corpus, or is it only the evil Bush administration?
All this crap really sucked the neutral nature of the show right out, and made me actually pissed off for most of it.
Just my take.
Don’t forget about all the “torture,” commentary, as if we could just talk to the suspected terrorist to get the information in a gentle manner. Like our CIA has a Lightman that can get info this way.
Totally agree. I think Lightman should have baked the guy some cookies, no? Definitely a lefty agenda, but the whole micro-expressions thing is very cool.
