When someone has a bad idea before a tragic event, and the tragic event makes them say their same idea louder, the bad idea doesn't become a good idea, and they're not reacting to the event, they're exploiting it.

Pirates of Silicon Valley is still the best. The two posthumous dramas don't cover much that happened beyond the time period Pirates cover.

The government should make ads starring Chloe O'Brian and Jack Bauer trying to decrypt a phone, with Jack saying he'll have to torture a guy if Chloe can't break the encryption. Funny how the same old ticking time bomb/kidnapping scenarios get recyc…
