The Kill Point
Jul. 22nd, 2007 10:36 pmI am so in love with The Kill Point right now! Oh my gawd I love that show! In fact, I'm kinda watching the encore right now. It is good. It does not hurt that it has John Leguizamo in it. I have always loved him. (Ever since I had a crush on Luigi from the Super Mario Brothers movie.) The only thing missing is Rainbow. LOL!
I keep excepting/wanting Rainbow to get in there and take ahold of the situation. They'd have the perps down in seconds. Then again, I kinda like the bad guys. (Go figure.) But really... they're not all that bad. I mean, it's all bad circumstances on their part. Not the robbing the bank part, but everything that led them up to that point where they made the decision to rob the bank. Of course, the Rainbow guys wouldn't understand that. They're soldiers; they'd be upset that other soldiers are giving them a bad name. Nevermind the fact that it's all bad luck.
By "leading up to the decision" I mostly refer to Leguizamo's character, Mr. Wolf for lack of a better memory on my part. He's a Sergeant in the army, or rather was. Dishonorably discharged and sent to prison for disobeying orders. Probably some shitty-ass orders, but like the higher-ups give a damn about that. Poor guy. Sixteen people got killed when they replaced him with another Sarge--one that followed the orders and went in. Someone really screwed up there, and I seriously doubt it was the guy they blamed.
But, hell, it's the way it goes. On the one hand I think Rainbow would understand about bad orders. Especially Chavez, who was actually purposefully cut off from evac on one lovely covert op. On the other, they'd be pissed that soldiers cracked and decided to break the laws of their country.
Either way it sucks. And I feel more attuned to the bad guys in this new show than the good. Although I do have to commend the Captian of the police unit, or whatever. The tactical Captian guy. He won my admiration as well. So I like a lot of the "good" players... and hate some of the "bad." Now let me define those two terms.
By "good" I mean the Captian and his crew and Mr. Wolf and the other military guys. By "bad" I mean the Feds, the higher police guy(s), and that damned government or whatever guy who thinks he's the shit and all-important. Fuck him and his daughter. Ok, she didn't really do anything like her dad... but still, she's annoying. And dumb.
I know my opinions and stuff are skewed a bit on who's good and bad, but sue me. I can't help but like who I like. I can't help that the characters (and the actors portaying them) are awesome and compelling. I can't help who I sympathize with--I just do. So that's that.
But man, I didn't think it would be TWO hours long; I was expecting one. But, I got Mom hooked, too. lol. We watched it together. Gawd, I love it. And I can't wait for next week and the next show. I have found a new passion. Not only that though, but I was wondering how they'd manage to make a series out of only one "hiest." Well, they've managed it. It's still the same robbery-gone-bad-and-turned-hostage-situation. It's "to be continued." It'll be the same guys the next week. Wow.
I can't wait.
