SO GINA TORRES IS REDUCED TO PLAYING A WEAK CHICK ON "24"

My roommate turned on "24" and I was amazed to see Gina Torres on the screen. As I am not a fan of the show (how much can happen to one guy in a three day period before he goes completely insane?) I had no idea she played a reaccuring character on it. It was so bizarre to watch her nearly break down and cry as an only slightly intimidating man lightly interrogated her. I kept expecting her to pull a gun and say something catchy. But then, not every character she'll get to play will be as kick ass as Zoey. And by the way, I know she has bills to pay, but what's with her taking FOX's dirty dirty money??
