2/24

I just finished 24: Redemption (from DVR), and man, was it a letdown. My problem wasn't with the quality of the production, or anything like that. In fact, if anything, that was better than normal.

My beef is that it wasn't obvious to me that this was just a 2 hours special until about 2/3 of the way through the show. Maybe it was obvious to everbody else, but I had been under the impression that this was the beginning of the new season. Nope, it's not. It was just a random two hours of 24...which is kind of an oxymoron.

So that means we might as well have called this "two" or "one-twelth" or "two-twentyfourths." Or maybe just the mother of all bait-and-switches.

Whatever, I shouldn't complain. TV hasn't been decent since the Sopranos went off the air anyway!

In other news, I'm about to head to Seattle for a few days for Thanksgiving. I'll probably be posting to some extent, but until after the holiday weekend, things will be fairly sporadic.
