[QUOTE="Veander, post: 1278396, member: 1693"] I know what you mean buzzard, but I don't think anyone who makes those shows knows even one person who works in the Intelligence arena. If they do, they still change the story to what they think is more exciting. I doubt there is a show on (now or ever) that didn't have the main character's company/agnecy/whatever having some form of corruption. I only caught the end to Jake 2.0 and I thought it was simply a "nod" to the one idea most people probably thought Jake was a rip off of... the 6 million dollar man. I loved that show when I was a little snot. I used to think I could actually run faster because of it - active imagination. hehe Threat Matrix is a good show where I haven't seen any of this "the agency you work for is evil" stuff. However, they do impress upon the audience at certain parts of the story (usually the end) that the US government and it's leaders have been responsible in some ways indirectly for setting up the need for a Threat Matrix. Not that I want to get into politics. It's done properly without any right or left wing propaganda. V BTW I don't watch the Jake 2.0 show because of the dumb love story. Guys that can't take obvious signals like that in TV shows says one thing to me "writers think they have no other way to keep you watching". [/QUOTE]
