24 conclusion

Why hello there!

***Blows dust off live journal***

I have been quiet busy, but I'm never busy enough to not review the latest season of 24. Let's begin.

We began the season with a brief so/so movie that took place in Africa. It was all a relatively good set up to the season, despite the fact that it was filmed halfway through the season was actually filmed. But, as the saying goes, if you're a beggar you can't be a chooser. Though, I suppose you could be, but that's neither here nor there.

Then we began with what was probably described as a high octane season opener. Jack's forced to testify in front of the US Senate! He has no regrets. NONE. Then shit happens, and it turns out that Tony, is alive. YES ALIVE. DESPITE BEING DEAD. DESPITE BEING FUCKING DEAD. DESPITE BEING HELD IN JACK'S FUCKING ARMS DEAD. DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! Oh, and he's evil.

Fine, whatever. Relatively lame but still 'way out there' stories are thrown at us, and I take them, cause I don't really have a choice. And then, of course it turns out he's not evil, he's just pretending to be evil. AND he's enlisted the help of our favorite characters to bring down the real bad folks.

Type your cut contents here.>

There were your standard attacks, though relatively lame compared to ones in the past. I suppose at the point in which the White House was taken over by terrorists would have been the point, where if I were living in the 24 universe, would have opened my bottle of Gin, locked my door and called it a day. (heh) But I should point out here, that this year's president, was a bit more effective then the ones we've had lately. Sure she was a woman, and had to deal with her family, while in the past presidents didn't give a shit about their families. Oh women. So the rest of the season, Bill Buchanan fucking blownded up, Jack was infected with some whatever virus, and probably dying, Tony turning back to the evil side, a conspiracy within a conspiracy, Tony turning out to be out for personal revenge and nothing more, blah blah blah, I wasted an entire day of my life with this season. Technically only 23 hours, since for the first time ever, I actually didn't see an episode.

The 7th annual Soul Patch award is not given out this year, as there was no redeemable character who went from utterly evil, to kinda likable. I will, give Jeanne Garrafalo an honorable mention for being kind of funny, and that chick playing the female Jack Bauer for bring less annoying as the season went on.

So now its our ranking. Day 7 was the worst. We're now at a week of 24, and day 7 was worse, then the forces of Sara Wynter and Eric Balfor Combined.

Day 1
Day 3
Day 5
Day 4
Day 2, Day 6
Day 7

Next year, its off to the big apple. I'm sure Zombie Tony will return.

24
