Review: Pretty bad

It starts off with characters not liking each other, but gives no good reason as to why Garcia doesn't like her; so he just ends up seeming to be a big jerk. He tries to unsettle her and turn her on because he thinks she has it coming, after he purposefully gets her relaxed, so that it will be a bigger shock when he gives her "her marching orders." Nice. Also, his inner thoughts introduce his nickname, Fox, and that he gets pissy if you call him anything else; however, since there is no background given as to how he earned the nickname, he again comes off as a jerk. Wouldn't a true bad ass own a girly sounding name, not dub himself something else? They're dealing with a pretty serious terrorist threat, so him resenting a special forces leader helping out really makes him come off as a (you guessed it) jerk.Now, Lee is described as something akin to a Navy SEAL, but the best of them; not any rinky dink SEAL, but THE SEAL...so why is she reacting like a normal person? The alarm goes off and she's all "what is that? What's going on? I don't understand what's happening." The bad guy yells and she jumps back from fear, even though she knows she's safely locked away in the panic room. That just offends me on behalf of all women who have ever had combat training. Also, she keeps referencing that she's busting Garcia's chops because he unsettled her, but she never behaves in a manner any male soldier wouldn't; which, actually makes her look like a push over if she thinks that behavior actually makes her a ball buster.Seeing as how Garcia thinks she's a ball buster when she behaves in a completely normal way for either a soldier or a cop, one must only assume he feels threatened by her vagina. Oh yeah, and somehow, Garcia is always acting before Lee has a chance to react. Is Garcia magical because he has a penis? Special forces hones your reflexes; Lee would be attuned to his body movement as an automatic reflex. He's in what is akin to the SWAT team, so he could possibly be as good as her, but anything else is just not believable. In fact, the whole scene is pretty unbelievable. An innocent women gets her head blown off, and Lee and Garcia start making out. They think there are bombs that are going to kill them, so they have sex; good looking out for the back up Garcia keeps talking about. It looks real professional when said back up shows up and the main characters are trying to get dressed and get their weapons in order. There are lots of other details that I found annoying and unrealistic, but I'm forcing myself to stop here. There isn't one redeeming quality about this scene.
