A post that's not about Supernatural!
Why, oh why, am I still watching 24?
WHY?
The show hasn't been good since Season 3. In fact, I found Seasons 5 so very horrifically violent that I put off watching Seasons 6 and 7 for a very long time.
I feel like a battered wife*. "Oh, baby, I know you don't mean to hurt me. Maybe this time it'll be different!"
Oy.
The show has been a parody of itself for a long time. Here I was telling myself this year that at least Jack Bauer hadn't ripped out a man's jugular with his teeth (I only wish I was kidding about that), but this time around he actually eviscerated someone after torturing them.
Umm. No.
I really hope this is the last season. It's a train wreck, and yet I can't look away. Somebody put us both out of our misery, please!
*I am being flippant here, but rest assured that I take spousal abuse very seriously. I work for the police, and in no way do I think that domestic violence in any way, shape or form should be condoned.
