I like 24, and watch it every week, but it's so far gone in terms of idiocy this season. It's become a bit like an SNL skit mocking itself.
For example, right at the beginning of the season - the dopey computer machine that caused airplanes randomly selected to fly into each other. No discussions about the timing and speed of the planes, moving through three dimensional space and time like bullets, two words from some African warlord and the two planes fly right into each other. And the pilots of the planes don't even object and avoid collision.
Last night, the whole meeting with the president and Jon Voight was hysterical! He was seriously asking to be included in all future, top classified, national security issues! Like he believed that she would agree and that it would be his official new role in the running of the country! ("Would the Secretary of Murdering Thousands of Americans like to chime in with his thoughts on how should address Iranian slant drilling?" "Thank you, I would suggest we kill them all...") Why didn't he just ask for a magical moon base?
And what the hell possible risk is there to his daughter if she coughs up a couple stem cells to help her daddy out? They kinda just didn't even bother to extrapolate that one out!
And what's with the nation's top bioweapons doctor being as hot as a supermodel? Not that I'm objecting, but she's crazy smoking hot. Shouldn't she really look like C. Everett Koop or something?
Tony's good. Tony's bad. Tony's good. Tony's sorry. Tony's bad. Tony's faking bad. Tony's faking good. Tony's bad. Somebody just freaking shoot Tony already and put me out of my misery. I've had it with that sad, beaten down Tony face, that only perks up when he's going Mr. Hyde again.
The show's fun, but it's sometimes so dumb it hurts. It's supermodel dumb.
ROFL!! Thanks for a Tuesday morning belly laugh.
I do love the show... cause, stuff happens
But, seriously... sometimes it's hard to take. I still love it, though.
ROFL!!
Thanks for a good laugh on Tuesday morning... of course, everyone now knows I'm not really working.. ;-)
Is this 24 or "General Hospital"?
Either way 24 is like a soap opera this season
Some good action but too many sudsy scenes
Yea... I crack jokes with my wife now... calling her shows (The Batchelor) "stupid"... I tell her, "you should come watch this FOR REAL stuff... like, Zimbabwe terrorist taking the President hostage in the White House!" :-)
I'm always amazed at just how BRILLIANT these bad guys are. Thank goodness, they're mostly Dumb A's in real life.
Well, I guess C. Everett Koop would be better than Joycelyn Elders.
If 24 was truly bi-partisan, they would have thrown a bone to Ruth Bader ‘Buzzy’ Ginsberg for that spot.
(Ok, demon 34 of 50 has departed, i’m back now)
