He's Back

T Minus a little less than 2 hours until the second half of the four hour 24 premiere/marathon. So I was watching last night and it was everything you'd expect: explosions, awkward exposition, guns, a stupid teen...and of course, Kiefer Sutherland. Good times.

I wonder what it is about this show that makes an otherwise peaceful person (ie, I'm not really for war in real life and am saddened when I hear about random acts of violence) yell at the tv "shoot him!" "I hope that person's dead by next episode!" It's like I become a guy or something. I don't even care for action movies, save for very specific ones with actors/ directors that I like! But this show somehow releases the testosterone.

I mean, sure, in Deadwood, there are some people who we all hope will meet their ends at the hands of Al or Dan and there are people on the Sopranos who we just know Tony will dispatch Chris and Paulie to kill (more on both of those when they FINALLY come back). But seriously, they go through so many cast members on 24, that not even the principals from previous seasons are safe (If you haven't watched it yet, it's not my problem). But as soon as Palmer and Michelle went down, I was rooting for Jack to KICK SOME ASS! You know, like he usually does.

Looking forward to 8 PM <> 9-10 AM.
