I am a fan of the show but seeing this again makes me remember how much more I liked the early seasons than any other. The great characters with the outstanding backstory flashbacks had me tuning in every week just to see who'd be featured next. Plus the thrill of the unknown was great.
The biggest problem I had was with every character suddenly becoming John McClane. One day, a gun was found and its dynamic was controversial as some people were apprehensive about having it. It was an honest reaction because I would think most random groups of strangers would think it to be a pretty big deal for there to be a gun around. Then, it just seemed like overnight that everyone was an experienced marksman, all willing to pull the trigger at a moment's notice. Did Jack spend a lot of time at the shooting range in between surgeries?
I dunno, it just bugs me when normal characters become action stars. Maybe I'm the only one who wouldn't point a loaded gun in someone's face so easily.
Weird rant, I know.
