I Will Not Be Watching 24 This Year
As if the last season of 24 wasn't stupid, annoying, preposterous and idiotic enough, there's word that this season is going to be even worse...
In the tradition of:
(a) Jake not dying on Melrose Place when the fucking boat blew up, and
(b) Bobby not really being dead on Dallas, and
(c) the dude coming back in Soap Dish after being decapitated, and
(d) Comedy Central continuing to renew Carlos Mencia's show, and
(e) the fact that D.C. keeps reelecting Marion Barry to office,
comes news that Tony Almeda is alive after all.
What?
And even worse -- he's the main bad guy now.
Give me a fucking break. I'm done with this show.

lame.
so, if i didn't get to see the second half of last season (not a conscious choice, but more of a schedule thing), should i not even bother?
I guess it depends if you plan on watching the show in the future. They keep toying with fans, suggesting that there is some "thread" tying together all the seasons, but we're now in Season 7 (?) and they haven't mentioned the season finale anthrax attack on David Palmer in years (since it happened, actually), or Nina Myers' organization, the 20-something girl who keeps randomly popping up, etc. I get the sense that they're hinting at an overarching story which they really don't have just to keep people watching for the eventual payoff (in the big screen 24 movie, I'm sure).
SO.. to answer your question.. I dunno. The season changed DRASTICALLY about 1/2 way through, and the main plot of the first half stopped pretty abruptly and became about something completely different (though no more interesting).
It's up to you. If you watch it, I warn you, it's not good television, but you can look at it as an investment to be able to know what's going on in the new season.
thanks for your take. i think i'll continue watching for kiefer, if nothing else :)
