I really love the show, especially this season when it's on terrorism, so intricately relevant to our world now. Me and jianglei were so addicted to it he came to my house almost everyday until we finished all 24 episodes. At first i thought it was too exaggerated, surely those actions couldnt have happened in just 24 hours! But just after i finished the whole season, news of the major terrorist plot that was foiled in Heathrow airport came and it really haunted me. It reminded me of the scene where the russian terrorists held hostages in the airport and threatened to kill them all unless the president complied with their demands. So it can happen to us afterall.
Next came the shocking revelation that the president was involved in providing the terrorists with nerve gases(which the terrorists attempted to release in a shopping mall and gas pipes) naively thinking that he was doing the country a favour by selling the terrorists the gases and secretly changing the shipment code such that it would be delivered to central asia and gave them an excuse to invade some country to secure oil production. That sets me thinking that maybe George Bush does have an agenda of his own when he invaded Iraq with the excuse that Saddam hussein is producing WMD(which we all now know is not true).
What a show that started stirring up wild thoughts in my mind and spinning controversies from my own imagination. That aside, i must say it was a really meaningful show that threw some light on the background efforts of anti-terrorism units, such as MI5 in UK. Must really appreciate their efforts, these are the people that work their asses all day long trying to foil terrorist plots and protect our lives, even if it means sacrificing themselves in the process.
What a long entry, suddenly i miss writing GP essays(those on terrorism and war of course!)
