IT'S NOT THE SHOW IT WAS.
Last nights episode brought it all together for me. Here are a few of my peeves from the episode.
1. Blatant product placement has taken over this season. Last night as Chloe, aka SAHM (take a minute you'll figure it out), and her husband drove up to FBI headquarters we got a full screen shot of the new Hyundai Genesis and then the Hyundai logo as the GPS shut off. Just as in The Matrix trilogy it seems that once the big wigs catch on to a show they cash in and bury it in product ridiculousness.
2. Is our government really this stupid?!
3. Part of Chloe's attraction was that she wasn't all that put together and her hair was a mess. Now that she's a Stay At Home Mom (see #1) she appears to have more time to color her hair, get it professionally styled and work with a clothing stylist.
4. Would the President's First Man really go to a hospital with an unknown doctor?
5. In previous seasons everyone could get through LA traffic in a matter of seconds. Now we are mired constantly in DC...ohhhhh. Symbolism? I like to think so.
6. BIll Buchanan. The government has been infiltrated, there is a turncoat at the FBI, Chloe can get into any system from anywhere. Where do you send her? To FBI headquarters to sit in a glass conference room. Why not, ohhh I don't know, Larry's office!
7. Larry. How did you get to be Director of the DC branch? Jack is trying to save the free world and you can't stop wondering if you are losing the girl. Well here's a news flash, you are! Maybe, just maybe she needs a MAN!
8. Way, way, way, WAY to much tangled love story webs! Did I say way too much? WAY to much.
9. Reduced group participation. We have new members this year and it feels the same as when you tell your friends about a great restaurant, they go because of your recommendation and it's the night they're filming an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
10. The previews for next week present Jack and Jack-ie getting into a little slapping contest that ends with a little, 'Kiss me now you fool, don't you feel anything?' eye contact. Hopefully Jack dismisses this, slaps some sense right back at her and waits until hour 25 to do something about the tension. If they kiss...shoot me!

I'm not sure I can add anything to this past episode that hasn't already been said. I am pretty sure there is probably a kiss coming and if the past is any indication, the drama coming from a certain member of our group far outshines the drama on the screen when that occurs. I'm looking forward to that.
So far,this year is a disappointment as far as show content is concerned. I don't like the FBI setting. It is boring and uninteresting.
I feel like all of our characters from the past that we loved so much are in some sort of a straight jacket, including Jack. They need to be released back into the wild and given an opportunity to do what they do best. We need to bring back the glory days when it was okay to use tools and gadgets in ways they were never intended to be used.
Yes, our government really is this stupid, that is a very easy question to answer.
