oh, jack bauer, how i love thee. funny how you hear EXTREME opinions about the tv series "24" - people either love it or hate it (kinda like vampires, i guess - te he)...
i'm in the "love" camp for sure. and last night's return to tv after a long absence was JUST what i needed. the 2-hour showing of "redemption" was awesome!
when we last saw jack, he was heading to africa, after being wrongly (sort of wrongly, anyway) run out of the country for a really BIG crime. he was once again alone and on the run. maybe that is why i love him. redemption happens in africa, i guess, as the title implies. the movie is almost a carbon copy of parts of "blood diamond" which i also loved...lotsa love here.
okay, back to jack. not sure what the appeal is. maybe it's that he is the kind of hero who ALWAYS saves the day. it's not his fault that everybody he loves ultimately dies! just bad timing, i guess :)
last night, in the middle of all the drama, i said to phil "aren't you just GLAD that jack is in da house?"
:) he he. can hardly wait till january, when the series returns for good.

One day I'll actually watch the shows you recommend. I did catch an episode of Grey's last week, and all I could think was, "MEREDITH, GET A HAIRCUT!" Seriously, she's the only woman on earth (besides my ma) who has had the same (non)hairstyle for five years running.
I have very little patience with tv people who are not named Ross and Rachel.
for a girl who's such a girl, you sure love boy tv. :)
The hubby and I just started watching season 1 (on season 2 now) recently so we don't dare not go in order and watch the premier. We'll wait till we're at that point! Have to go in order, ya know?
But, yeah, there's just something about Jack!
oh april,
you will get so hooked! that is how phil and i watched the show. this is the 1st season we'll be watching the SLOW way :)
