anyone still following 24?
this is the only season i have watched on the tv. i rented the rest and watched each season in a week or so. this could be why i am finding this season a total drag lol
i am finding it a major let down for the following reasons.
1 - the woman president. the president has always been an interesting character. from david palmer (i could believe him to be an honourable good guy president) to charles logan (he seemed a more realistic president to me but was as enjoyable to watch as palmer). now we have this granny running things? thats bollocks.
2 - the much hyped no ctu. yeah instead we have the fbi building instead. its pretty much just the same only with brighter lighting.
3 - kim fucking bauer. aargh. the second you see her name in the titles you must wonder what drama she will get herself into next. she really needs to be killed off but i dont think that twist will ever happen.
4 - darth tony. i am probably confused but why did he blow up the poison instead of just letting the rockets fire? to steal one canister? that didnt make sense to me. the double twist of him actually being bad was predictable but it was still very well done. they ripped the sopranos off when tony killed christopher though.
5 - chloe. seriously why? atleast change her character a little.
6 - the reboot. apparently this season is a reboot for the series after the poor season 6 (i saw nothing wrong with season 6). well to me its been poor but thats compaired to the previous seasons.
still a brilliantly made show but i think it has done everything it can do and should just end.
i think the best thing 24 ever did was the ryan chappelle death. i found that quite disturbing and actually quite gut wrenching. that wont ever be topped

RE: anyone still following 24?
tonys actions make no sense. as simple as that. fair enough he hates the government and wants revenge. why did he stop the rockets?
i really want to see jack go bad. after all at the start of this season he was on trial for his behaviour in saving the world. this is probably the least believable thing in this whole season even more than granny prez. jack is such a one dimensional character when even now after all he has done he still respects authority from the whitehouse. if he was a real character he wouldnt be so self sacrificing all the time. he is like judge dredd and as much as i adore that character jack should be made more human.
we thought he would be turned into a human being at the end of the previous season but no. that amounted to a fat zero. let him screw up. let him rebel for his own good and not the country.

tony's actions actually make sense if you've seen the last 2 eps of this season
