I thought that it was the *red* wire that’s supposed to be cut…
(I’m waiting for the spy/thriller/action/cop show or movie where the bomber is smart enough to use only a *SINGLE COLOR* of wire — or printed circuitry [wire is *so* passé!] — in his bombs. “Pop quiz, hotshot!”, indeed…)
I think Eureka actually did the all the wires are the same color gag. I’m probably giving them too much credit and it was just the “there is no black wire” gag.
I recall Stargate doing it – bomb, of course, naturally, was set to destroy all life on Earth, to disarm they had to cut the red wire, they open it up, and all the half-dozen wires are yellow. Naturally, he cuts the wires completely randomly and defuses the bomb anyway. It’s very helpful to have the writers on your side. We should all be so lucky.
It’s not her fault – somebody left her emotions turned up to “9”.
And she’s still figuring out how they work!
Everyone knows you gotta time it so the countdown stops at 1 second. Sheesh Sally.
There’s that overachiever on every bomb squad that likes to stop them at 10+ minutes. Lame Danny. Not cool at all.

I take out on Dax what my writers do to me 😀
