Dear Channel 7,
Firstly, I would like to say a hearty Thank You for finally putting 24 back on the air. Bless you. I missed the velvety tones of Kiefer Sutherland and realized in the middle of the nine month hiatus that even the scene where he realizes he needs a human head to placate a mob boss, storms into a holding cell, shoots a (very evil, totally had it coming) fellow that Hot!Tony is in the middle of interrogating and, in the middle of the ensuing chaos, simply growls “I’m going to need a hacksaw” gets old eventually. And last night was delicious. Jack Bauer in a suit, kicking things over, and being bossy. I swooned.
Now, here’s the rub. 24 is four seasons old and while I thought the premise would have worn out by now, the show operates as effectively as it ever has even though you can pretty much guarantee that anyone sweet, sympathetic, or involved with Jack Bauer is going to wind up dead. Even so, it's not a show that dumbs down to it's audience so what in hell was the point of having a TIMER pop up every 5 minutes during the show informing us that "Everything Changes In 45 minutes and 15 seconds"! "Everything Changes in 27 minutes and 32 seconds"! YOU DON’T SAY! There’s going to be a twist at the end of an episode of 24? No shit! Thank you, Captain Obvious! Wow, I definitely won’t switch over to Big Brother Uncut if EVERYTHING CHANGES in just a few minutes. I could tune back in and CTU LA could have switched to Clown Training University, Louisiana! GAH. Stupid.
This is the sort of crap that makes people turn to torrents to get a fix of their favourite shows. Also, if any of you run into the plonkers at Channel 9, I’m still mad that Gilmore Girls isn’t back.
Yours sincerely,
Carrie
