geebsQuick TV commentary:
90210- That scene with Adrianna getting the pity valentine's flower from some random teacher, isn't that CCV('Inappropriate!')? I mean, I think its fine for like a grammar school teacher to give some loser kid such a thing to make him or her feel better for not getting anything because they're a big loser, but you can't do that in high school! It might be viewed as impropriety! And you'd think the teachers at West Beverly would be particularly wary since Mr. Matthews got in trouble for dating that narc (though no one knew she was a narc at the time).
But ah, that post I made a few weeks ago about what kinda sniper rifle Jack was using on 24, I'm not the only one who though it was an Ashbury International Assymetric Warrior rifle. The imfdb (you know, the internet movie firearms database) has it listed as the weapon he used.
Again, that's kinda overkill! I mean, its a precision weapon, something you'd use to make kills on both soft and hard targets at ranges from 700 meters onward. The situation he was in, he'd prolly be better off using like a M110 SASS or some other SR-25 derivation. I mean, its very accurate, especially under 200 meters, and the urban settings he'd encounter on 24 all have engagement ranges way less than that. Plus, its semi-auto. The bolt-action is neccesary to increase the accuracy at the long ranges, but again at the short ranges Jack would be at, the loss in accuracy from a semi-auto is nil, but he gets the ability to make rapid follow-up shots. Which given he was covering Tony from several men, is what you think you'd want from a sniper rifle in that particular sitch. ojv('man, its obvious!')
