You may have noticed it has been quite some time since I wrote anything about 24. The reason is I suffered a great trauma a few weeks back. It was The Kiss. Yeah. That one. The Kiss between Ann Coulter and Dick Cheney. Not only was it obscene, it had to be one of the very worst kisses I have ever seen on television. It was right up there with the stilted kiss between Harm and Mac as Jag was winding down. C'mon guys! You're actors fer chrissakes. Try to look like you're enjoying yourselves. Yeah, I realize that neither of you is a winner in the looks department, but you're being paid to make this shit look realistic. That effort was simply pathetic!
Yeah 24 jumped the shark before The Kiss, and I'm still watching it, but this season has been a big disappointment. Hey Milo, we're gonna bring you back as a fulltime employee, after being a mere consultant in the first season, just to get shot. Works for me. Contract negotiations with the 24 producers must be a real bitch. I guess we're never gonna find out what happened in Denver.
I wonder if they're gonna tell Josh who his real father is?
<DarthVadervoice> Josh, I am your father. Join me at CTU. It is your destiny</DarthVadervoice>
I wonder if they're gonna hire some new writers next season so we don't have so many recycled plot lines like we had this year?
So what do we have to look forward to tonight? Jack saves Josh. Jack commits parricide. Jack kills Cheng. It would really be nice if there were some excuse for Jack to torture Cheng before he kills him. Payback is a bitch. Jack recovers the circuit board. Jack prevents a war. Jack is a hero.
The only question I have is what's gonna happen to Ricky Freaking Shroder?
Posted by denny at May 21, 2007 12:52 PMOnly way I'd watch next year is if they told me they fired all the writers from this year's debacle. Geeze I've always avoided that kind of tripe like the plague and here they go putting all that soapy crap in place of action in an action show!!! ARG!!!
Tonight will be the last night of torture. I'm done after that. It still think the Russians deserve to lose all their secrets and be bombed to smithereens after trying to convince us that losing one stupid chip on a friggin' suitcase nuke, will do in all their careful planning for security...
I can not bring myself to care what happens to Doyle. Although I admit to wanting to see one little bit of soapiness... Bill with a bag packed calling his "wife" the wimpy National Security Advisor and telling her his forwarding address for his mail. heh.
Posted by: Teresa on May 21, 2007 02:33 PMI quit watching because the show makes too many people think war is that easy and quick.
Best episode ever, Chloe kills bad guy with the M4 carbine. Worst episode, the cute blonde girl is poisoned and then shot by her boyfriend.
What it needs now is some really good full nudity and sex. Maybe that can hire Josh Wedon, he does sex scenes and violence very well on Buffy. I could watch SMG "do it" anytime. Even fully clothed she's hot.
Posted by: Jim Macklin on May 21, 2007 02:55 PMi hope he dies. ricky freaking schroeder killed it for me a long time ago. what, was gary coleman too busy? wtf??? he sucks.
and i agree. that kiss was awful.
Posted by: shoe on May 21, 2007 06:51 PMThe only way this will be interesting is if Chloe will finally take a freaking dump! And they better show it. Just that constipated look slowly draining away from her face, and maybe a slight upturned mouth in satisfaction. Just take a crap, byatch!
Posted by: Trouty on May 21, 2007 07:26 PMThis is the last season I watch. Mo and Sissy and I need to pick a different show next year.
Posted by: Bou on May 21, 2007 09:01 PMRicky Schroeder, one the handful of proud conservatives (donated to W in '00 and '04) in Hollyweird, and everyone rips him.
Fuck off!!!
I suppose you'd rather have metrosexual sissy-men like George cLooney or Rob (I throw like a girl) Lowe. Gimme a break...
Rob - Had it been George Clooney or Rob Lowe, I would be going off on them worse than I did Ricky Freaking Shroder. Nice pictures on your link.
Posted by: Denny on May 21, 2007 10:54 PMDenny- What link?
Posted by: Rob Cooper on May 22, 2007 03:16 AMPS- I was totally trashed when I posted earlier, but I stand by what I said. I'm used to addressing the asshole libs in my local paper
Posted by: Rob Cooper on May 22, 2007 03:35 AMRob, you know, that "URL" box you fill in when you fill out a comment here, with link to the Rocky Mountain pictures.
I agree wit Denny about those pictures.
Rob - this season was so badly written, Ricky had zero chance of walking into that role and grabbing the audience. None.
Like I said - I could have cared less what happened to him... that is the fault of the writers in this case - not the actor. I still have an entire post stirring around in my head about last night.
Like Bou - I am so not watching next year. They lost me.
Posted by: Teresa on May 22, 2007 12:06 PMWhy do only the bad people enjoy sex on this show? Everybody else either wishes they could or is having sex under duress.
Posted by: mau on May 22, 2007 10:35 PMThe show sucked ass this season-I'll agree. All I wanted to know was if Josh was Jack's kid, and he almost said it, there was a pause and then said, he's an innocent kid. Argh! At least Audrey is out, and Jack was able to bitch at Heller. Heller was way cooler as Greg Sumner on Knot's Landing. Still studly and handsome though!
You want an excellent show that really kicks your ass? Hands down, The Shield, on FX.
