Why the hell do they always disarm the bomb with 2 seconds left? It’s always 2 seconds.. never 4 or 5… not even a minute… always 2. Why not 1?

Hahah!  It’s so cliche.  #-O

Now they’re doing it so that they *think* it’s disarmed, and then it starts again for some reason.  I think writers/directors are getting wise to this crap and not doing that scenario as much.

But then think about it.  If it’s not a bomb, it’s something else that gets accomplished at the very last second (a jump, a bullet, a flying manuever).  Funny ain’t it?

:lol: On the series 24 they “disarmed” a bomg at the last second, but it happened to be a dud. They even made it so that you thought the guy was going to cut the wrong wire.  :roll:
