24 Day 8

Problem is, no matter what they with Jack, anything short than his death will leave people questioning if it is really is the end.

We've already seen that he can be talked back into action, regardless of his mental condition, in about three minutes. Even if he does leave and go to LA, you've got to assume most people are going to think he'll be back killing bad guys three weeks later.

 

I thought it was the "Islamic Republic" of the show was modeled on Pakistan.

With 24 I'm always betwixt and between. Should I just enjoy the ride, or should I note the insanity and plot holes the size of the moon?

That being said, Renee taking that dude's thumb off was badass.

 

Enjoy the ride; otherwise you'll go nuts. Particularly if the first four hours are any indication.

Now I'm just enjoying its essential cheesiness. I mean, would you note plot holes in a Roadrunner cartoon?

 

This season started at 4 p.m., so it's going to end at 4 p.m.
What they should do, is having Jack getting on the airplane at 3:59, behind a shady looking passenger (nationality to be determined by who is most pissed at Jack by the end of the day), and have it fade to black with a silent clock.

 

I think they should have Jack prevail then miss his plane because he got held up in a 2 hour TSA security line at JFK.

 

And then as his flight time nears and he realizes he's going to miss it, he can yell one last "Damn it, we're running out of time!"

 

they can have a middle eastern looking TSA agent going through his bag and confiscating his toothpaste because it's not in a Glad bag.

 

"Sir, please be patient with us! We need to determine whether this is 2.9 oz. of shampoo or 3.1 oz. If it's over 3.0 oz., you won't be allowed to proceed past this checkpoint."

 

I did have a chuckle at that.

And I vote against having the show go forward with Walker as the star, because I really need Annie Wersching to turn to Skinemax for work.

I've forgotten how poorly written the show is. The plots are crazy - I'm fine with that - but it's insane how people talk to each other when stuff is going down. Mikylti Williamson is a better actor than he's shown so far - he was great in Boomtown - this dialogue sounds like it was written in English, translated to Japanese by an Indian then translated back by a German.

 

That is awesome.
