24

Of course I watched 24 last night. Looks like it's going to be another good season. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with it this year. Last year I watched about 2/3 of the episodes, but then ended up missing like the last 4. I'll probably go back and watch all of last year once I get a DVD for Christmas. Assuming I get presents and not lumps of coal. Jump back to Blogcritics for some notes on the opening episode and the challenges of producing a series that occurs in real time.

I thought last year that the show was one of the best put together drama pieces on tv. Every episode was exciting. Every episode gave you a little better understanding of the big picture. And every episode left you with a cliff hanger at the end to bring you back the next week. This year seems to be starting off on the right foot too. The opening scene last night of the NSA interrogating a suspect was awesome. I'd like to think that somewhere in a dark room agents of our government are torturing the shit out of terrorists using chemicals, drugs, force, and psychological techniques. Hell, I think it would be cool to be one of those agents. But I never see any adds on Monster for secret agents or torturers. Maybe I need to stop focusing only on the Denver market?
