Pretty good. Pretty damn good.
I gotta wonder if President Taylor is a Hillary allegory though.

I couldn't get through two episodes of this crap. I don't know how any of you lasted this long.

Not every show can involve a bunch of people landing on a deserted island Rex.

And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

I liked it. My only complaint is that we didn't get to see Jack fight a lion!

It mostly bored me. And how original, stuck on a mine, allowing him to make a heroic sacrifice. Oh Begbie what's happened to you????

Pretty good opener yesterday. I enjoyed the fact that they made sure to portray Jack as unrepentant but apathetic at the same time. I'd like to think that as soon as his hash with Tony is settled, he'll tell America to fuck off.
Two more hours tonight!

I'm surprised Jenine Gerafalo allowed a character she played to be an accessory to, and an enabler of, torture.
Unfortunately, she's still a cunt.

Wow.
I don't like Larry, but I'm not sure I wanted to watch him die like that.
But I'm pleasantly surprised to know that Almeida isn't still towing the "save the country" partyline like Jack does for no apparent reason other than it seems ingrained upon his character.

Oh dear.
I can sense where the show is heading and....well shit.
First it started subtle with the global warming ads, the Hillary-lite analog, and Janine Gerafolo. Now as the season is drawing to an end with people already sucked in, rich private citizens turn out to be the evil capitalist masterminds, Jack's personality is "changing" and he's beginning to refer to his past methods as "criminal (which stands in stark contrast to his tune at the begginingg of the show)," Gerafolo's ranting about the Bill of Rights (even after she stayed quiet when she knew Renee was suffocating a witness), and Tony's forcing innocent Muslims to do his bidding in a terror attack after a brief--but highlighted--conversation revolving around Islamic discrimination.
This seemed to be the point: Draw the core audience in with the 24-esque material all the while leading the show down a path that pulls an almost unnoticeable 180 on the demographic it caters to.
I'm really really REALLY tired of getting into partisan rants nowadays, but I am fucking sick of the liberal approach of 'Let's earmark any successful character/show that's not already within our ranks so we can carefully and covertly transform them into a bastion of 20th century radical humanitarianism.' Isn't it enough that I deal with this in my comics?

Gerafolo: Don't you people know that racial profiling is wrong?
Bauer: Your strategically placed political outbursts aren't helpful, but I'm willing to go out of character to explain why racial profiling is necessary even if I think it's bad. All in the name of....REDEMPTION. Oh shit! I'm shaking and slurring my words and forgetting stuff and other obvious retarded crap.
Chloe: Jack's going out of his way to show off that something's wrong. Is there something wrong with him?
Renee: Chloe...
Chloe: Is there something wrong with Jack? What's wrong with Jack!?
Renee: Okay, you've twisted my arm. Jack was infected with the deadly virus when he was trying to contain it blah blah blah blah blah blah blah dramatic pause for effect.
Muslim guy #1: I can't do this terrorist stuff! I'm not a terrorist! Terrorism is terrible! I'd never commit acts of terrorism against this country! Terrorists suck! I'll say I'm a terrorist as long as you don't hurt my brother!
Muslim guy #2: I will humbly and self-righteously point out that you are renowned for torturing suspected terrorists. I'm like the ultimate anti-terrorist terrorist commentator since I'm a peaceful Muslim guy who renounces extremists and terrorism in general. I will forcefully point out that the Muslim you're going after could not be a terrorist, that he loves America, and that you're just racially profiling. Oh no! You're arresting me! But I guess that's okay because eventually you'll have to admit you're wrong and that will make me seem even more credible than before.
Muslim guy #3: You've poisoned my brother's mind with terrorism! He wasn't a terrorist before you showed up! You fucking terrorist! Terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist terrorist....Terrorist terrorist!
Bauer: Oh my God! The Muslim's innocent! How could I have been so stupid? Here let me un-cuff your hands for dramatic effect.
Muslim Guy #2: It's never too late to turn to God Jack. Lest we forget....REDEMPTION!!
Bauer: I will remain silent even though I'm talking right now.
Bauer: Let me take point! I'm shaking and I'll probably compromise the operation, but I need.......REDEMPTION!!!!!
Renee: Okay Jack. Let me just pause dramatically for a moment......Alright, lets go.
Muslim Guy #2: Is there soomething wrong with Jack? I mean, I have no frame of reference and I know barely anything about this operation but I'm sure I can offer advice about you two characters I've just met.
Renee: Allow me to explain that Jack was infected with a virus that's been government-ordered to be kept secret lest it panic the public. Let me add some details about his slow deterioration before I pause dramatically.
Muslim Guy #2: Oh.
Preview voice for next episode: Don't miss the next episode of 24 were Jack obtains....REDEMPTION! For doing all the things he was willing to defend doing at the beginning of the season.
Yep. That's about the size of it.
This is probably the last season I'm gonna watch.

Allen Wilson was behind Palmer's death, Logan's gambit, and every other bad thing that happened in the past six seasons.
So the private businessman turns out to be the villain behind all the conflicts of the series.
How elaborate.
Seriously, that's one hell of a retcon. They're not even trying to be subtle anymore.
