But tension is great isn't it?! Like on the preview I saw where Lumen is at home on the phone with Dex and she's freaking out because SOMEONES COMING IN THE DOOR *end preview*feedback wrote:That's all they know how to do. That and TENSIONNNN. TICK TICK TICK. THAT'S THE SOUND OF THE WRITERS OF 24 RUINING YOUR SHOW.
Then the episode actually happens and the apparent chain of events is:
Astor and friend get drunk.
Astor and friend take a cab to the house from the bus station.
Astor, breaking into her own house with a friend there, has her friend help. She has both a front door and back door key, and drunkenly tells her friend "Alright, you go around back and I'll go around front and we'll both jiggle the handles for a while and then push on the door. After that, then we'll unlock each door together to come into the empty house, because
the writers suck with stupid shit like that. Dex was a great show that's now something worth keeping on in the background while I cook or work on something.
