jack's back

that's right, jack bauer returned over the last two nights. and you know what? i don't care. i don't. i don't like the show 24. maybe i was convinced by too many comedians that constantly rip on the show for being in los angeles and people are able to get across town in minutes instead of an hour. how funny would it be to see jack bauer stuck in traffic on the 405 or the 210 for a whole episode? gawd help us all if he was on 10 east. i imagine it being like the intro to office space, but with shooting.

i can't quite figure out why i don't like 24. i like action. i like spy stuff. i like loosely political stories. totally seems like a show for me. but it's not. it bores me. i caught about 4 episodes in one of the seasons and it just bored me. maybe if i'd gotten roped in during the first season i would believe that iddy biddy keifer sutherland was a badass spy type and it would be neat that it all takes place over a day.

wev. i'm not saying you can't like it. shoot, i don't think any less of you if you do. just don't invite me over for a 24 marathon. or to watch the latest episode. i'm not coming. it's me, not you. well, it's 24, not you.

Sooo much crazy shit went down last night too! CTU is basically operating outside of the government now and they have a guy undercover and Jack broke him out of custody and there is a terrorist threat where the President has to decide if she wants to withdraw troops that she sent to protect a small African country where women and children are being killed by the thousands because terrorists are threatening to bring down American flights (which they have the tchnology to do). And there are a few other little side stories thrown in there too.
I think the show does a good job of being realistically unrealistic. Like most shows there are some things that wouldnt happen in real life, but that is a minor concern to me. I think the terrorist threat they are dealing with now is really interesting and explores how a President might deal with that situation realistically.
The action and fighting is a little over the top sure but thats just entertainment. I enjoy the show, but I dont think any less of you if you dont care for it:)
