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.

Yeah, this is the last season. There's supposed to be a movie, though.

I've always kind of just loved and gone with whatever 24 threw at me, despite the ridiculousness of the past however many seasons, but I've found the last few episodes incredibly upsetting. I don't even know how they'll do a movie. Won't Jack be in, like, prison for being a psycho killer?

Oh, I forgot. No prison can hold Jack Bauer!!!

Whatever, I will still watch the movie, haha.

Jack has lost his mind. That's the only explanation I can come up with. I don't even feel any sympathy for him anymore, and I did at the beginning of the season.

I keep hoping that at the end of the day he'll commit suicide by cop, just to go down fighting, but I guess with a movie in the works it's not meant to be. :(
