24 Day 8

This is 24, not real life.

 

Impressive chronology. Always wondered how far in the future 24 is supposed to be. I wonder if the writers know it's 2017

 

Speaking of timeframes, has anyone ever had a date (any date, really) mentioned ever in the show? The only one I can remember was in 2001, when they referenced something like the "upcoming 2002 presidential election" or some such thing.

 

I think they stopped doing that right around the time the writers got lazy and said "Let's not try to figure out how to make this show good again, let's just advance the plot by saying "Uh, this new season starts three years later..."

 

There's a flaw in that system... too many damnits.
I think this system would work better:
blue and green mean we have plenty of time, yellow means we're running out of time, orange means we're almost out of time and red means we're out of time.

 

For me, this is shaping up to be another season 6. Well, maybe not that bad, but certainly not too good.
Four hours go by and the coolest shit isn't done by Jack, but is Renee sawing into a guy's hand.

 

I don't know, that ax kill was pretty bad ass.

 

And if bad-assery is your way to decide if a season is good or bad, then you should have loved season 6. Jack ripped out a guy's jugular with his teeth.

 

Turns out it was just the thumb.

 

I think the nukes are hiding in President Hassan's hair.

 

His idol is Fabian

 

Fabian might be up in that hair too.
