24

[dirt mcgirt]

I'm giving up on this season. Jack gets out of a chinese prison after some odd years without saying a word and now he's driving a car and operating cell phones like it was just another day. I'm glad to see that the fate of the major American cities rests with a man who hasn't been laid or eaten a steak in forever. Oh and hey, Jack has a brother that he hasn't seen in years! And wow, Jack shagged his brother's wife before they were married. I guess they thought the dramatic, over the top coincidences would be well received with the viewers since it's never been done before. And to top it all off, the President is a major incompetent libtard. Ted Kennedy is a neo-con compared to this guy. This season sucks. I should have watched Heroes instead.

I give this season 3 eye rolls and a WTF:

[dan]

Yeah, it really went off the rails quick. I'll keep watching, but I don't like where it's headed. I'm pretty sure I heard Jack say something about "I can't do this anymore" last week. That sentiment lasted, what, three minutes? Not only can he do it, he can do it to his own brother, who Jack magically knows is evil because, well, he looks like a 24 bad guy.

To be fair, I think they said Jack was gone for 7 months, not years. Still, he just got off the plane four hours ago, and already he's himself again. I know, I know, it's not real. But, still, there's something about the realtime format that seems to make the viewer expect the show to be entirely plausible when, in reality, that plot structure almost ensures that there will be plot holes and a healthy suspension of belief required.

That said, why does the president being a liberal bother you? It's just a TV show.

His liberalness doesnt bother me. ITs the fact that hes a dumbass. Lets all bow to the terrorists and give them our top guy and $25million on their word that they will out another terrorist. Ok. That part is still a stretch.

I of course will keep watching.

[dan]

He is a dumbass for sure. I can't tell if his advisor (the guy from Ghostbusters II) is a bad guy or just smarter than the prez.

Insein said it best. When I said incompetent libtard I was referring more to his indecisiveness rather than his political leanings. It's just me but it seems like his need to pander and appease is compromising. You don't stomp the shit out of your admiral like that just because he says something insensitive and unPC. The President's sister also makes me not like him. He just doesn't seem Presidential enough, unlike David Palmer. And OMG, that speech he gave after the attacks....

[Insein]

Nah i could buy David but this guy just doesnt do it for me. I guess we are seeing what Bobby Kennedy would have been like as President.

[dan]

Well, to play devil's advocate for a second, 12,000 Americans had just died in a nuclear attack, I think it's fair for him to be acting unreasonably.

[Insein]

yes but i imagine that Americans don't want to hear uncertainty. They want to hear, who did it and whens the bomb dropping.

[Insein]

Man i knew what was coming that the Dad was in on it but DAMN he killed his own son? What an evil fucker. Jack's got a messed up family alright.

With Morris, I 99% knew that he'd end up being the engineer. The 1% said nah he'd a computer geek, not an engineering whiz. Apparently in 24 land, he's both. It kind of clicked when he said "He shouldnt be in Valencia." No he shouldn't Morris. If they get him to arm a nuke easily, im going to be disappointed in the writers. Morris knows what they'll do and knows he'll be dead anyway. So he needs to just suck it up and not do it.

The political stuff is getting old though. I wonder where they are going with it.

Well, I watched the 'scenes from next week's '24,'' and I saw two things regarding Morris arming the nukes. The first was him tied and pressed against a wall with Fayed (or one of his men) revving up a power drill (that'd scare the piss out of me). The second was Jack opening an armed suitcase nuke. Looks like next week (two hours) will be interesting.
