Okay, this is why I don't watch 24

The hero Jack Bauer is giving one of his cohorts--Bill, I think--a pep talk so he can go torture somebody.

Apparently, not actually being willing to shock someone with so much electricity that they bleed from the ears and are at risk of being paralyzed is not only weak, but un-American.

Um.

Things that make me wish I still had my own study, instead of the house having a guest room. (By which I mean that I had somewhere else I could hide when my darling husband watches shows like this, instead of the bedroom.)

Roughly, indeed. I kind of wish Bauer had a dog--it might lighten things up a little. On the other hand, all his friends/loved ones die, so the dog would be toast in the first twenty minutes.

I don't really get those things, either. I don't like James Bond all that much for the same reason. And the sexism, of course.
