The show has become more and more absurd. When you have a locked gate and you can't unlock the digital code you don't stand around bleating about how often hostages are killed. You call the fire department and they come with a power saw and cut off the gate. When a man is shot in the leg and bleeding out, you take someone's tie and put on a tourniquet. You don't tick off the villain by having fellow hostages crawl over and help you "apply pressure". It's as if the writers refuse to have anyone or anything take credit away from the SWAT squad's heroics. And how is it a good idea to have Hondo's father make constant complaints and demands? He was nothing but a jerk throughout the episode. The worst was having the hostage taker confessing exactly how he was hired and explaining all to Hondo on the phone like a father confessor. They need better writers.
