"All these episodes help the show to maintain a realistic moral tone."
"The reputation of Jack Bauer, the counterterrorism officer extraordinaire, has survived episodes in which he threatened to cut out the eye of a presidential aide or shot bad guys in the knees because he never seems to lose sight of the larger goal of saving the country or of resolving the apparent contradictions into which he is sometimes forced in that quest. One of the president's aides, by contrast, reacts to the nuclear blast by suggesting that it's a good opportunity to round up Muslims en masse. The callousness of the idea, as much as its content, exposes him as morally obtuse and thus sinister."
Almost nothing makes me laugh like WSJ articles that fuss over morality. |
