My theory on that spoilery scene where spoiler spoilers spoiler. Vague enough for you? Okay, why Jensen is a sneaky badass.



It's my theory on why Aisha shot Jensen. FYI.

Okay, I think it's interesting that as soon as Jensen realizes that she's got a gun on him, he doesn't shut up. He whines, he runs his mouth, he argues with the other boys. He turns in the middle of a Mexican standoff, and she shot him JUST as he was turning to make eye contact with (I think) Cougar. Like "I have her distracted, now shoot" eye contact between troops. This happens (I THINK) shortly after he's talked his way out of getting shot by security and after he's convinced the helicopter corp to land.

Even if Jensen WASN'T about to give the go sign, he was dragging out the conflict until her aim started to waver, at which point they'd shoot her anyway. And who was she aiming at, knowing that it'd keep folks from trying anything? The unarmed geek.

Compare with the standoff shortly AFTER, when none of them are armed. He shuts up. He doesn't move. He kneels.

Aisha: not a stupid woman. Jensen: like Spencer Reid, in a way.

My theory, by Jess, aged 27 and 3/4th. *curtsey*

One of my favorite things about that movie (and I really need a Losers icon, I think) was that everyone in it was smart as well as crazy and violent as befits an action/comic movie :D

Awesomeness.
