One Man to Save Them All

No, I’m not speaking of my Christian faith…
The fifth season of 24 starts this evening, with a two hour premiere tonight and a two hour show tomorrow. Jack Bauer will once again strive valiantly to save the world (or at least America) from evil doers of every stripe.
I consider most TV to be a complete waste of time. 24 is no different, except it’s an incredibly fun complete waste of time. It and ABC’s Lost are two shows that are actually good.
The premise behind 24 is that each episode is an hour long, and the whole season is an entire day. It’s essentially a male soap opera. Think Mission Impossible only with a lead character that doesn’t talk much and kills more people.
Ahhhhh. Watched it with popcorn in one hand and fruit smoothie in the other. Kinda like at the movies, only better. I bet you watched it with The Bruce. Looking forward to next night’s episodes.
The best quote of the premiere was “Kid, the only reason you’re still conscious is that I don’t want to carry you around.”
