"24" - Season 6
very year, I watch the opening hours of 24 and have a great time with the high energy and surprising twists.
Until this year.
24 has jumped the shark. After watching the Sunday/Monday 4-hour season premiere extravaganza...I realized I was bored...
Bored with 24.
Why? Well, Jack is brought back from China and within a couple of hours (after 2 years of being silent through tremendous torture) he's back doing the same ol'schtick. And in those first 2 hours he has a knife plunged into that bundle of nerves between the left shoulder and pectoral muscle, but an hour later he changes his shirt and is out jumping around like nothing happened...
And there he is chasing Arab terrorists in the company of a "reformed" Arab terrorist who is good looking and now wants to change the Arab jihad consciousness to "negotiations"....... A character that could not possibly exist in real life knowing the Jihadist mind-set...
And there's the other Palmer brother as President, trying to figure out whether and how to negotiate with terrorists...
Been there...done that....
And ironies of ironies, the muslim community is up in arms over the depiction of Muslims, when in fact 24 writers are bending over backwards to give these jihadists more credit than they deserve. If only Muslims outcries were as obvious when jihadists do their thing...
I'll plug on a little while longer with 24...but I'm ready to consign it to the trash-heap of television shark-jumpers.
*sigh*
