24 update

It's getting to the end and I thought I would give my review before it is finished.

First, this is 24's last and final season and as a big time fan I'm sad to see it go. But this season has had to be the worst season of 24 so far. And I'm not the only one who thought that.

My list of things that killed 24:
1. Dana Walsh/Jenny
Without a doubt this character/story line was the worst move the writers of 24 have ever done. Seriously, wtf were they thinking?


2. Rene Walker
Bringing her back was a bold move because she ended last season on a bad note. I personally never liked her character. Then she comes into this season as a "damaged" Rene and now Jack has somehow developed feelings for her. What I did like about the return of Rene is she eventually gets killed and it sends Jack into another revenge filled killing spree. Now that is what I'm talking about!


3. NY - CTU
First they bring back Cloe. I don't hate Cloe, but her character is annoying and distracting. But the new Director of CTU (Bubba from Forest Gump) was an ok character, but once again he screwed up like all former CTU Directors and Cloe got to replace him as acting Director. The whole things was lame and predictable. I also had a hard time believing that the EMP only caused minor damage to the computers that only Cloe could fix. I have a hard enough time trying to believe half of the crap in 24 without making it too obvious.


4. Madam President
I didn't mind her too much last season, but this season I really hate her. Now that Charles Logan has returned (WTF were they thinking there?!) I can't decide who I hate as a President more.



Now I will say that I've made it this far through the season and I plan on seeing it all the through. The only saving grace is that Jack has once again gone rogue and has blood in his eyes. He even killed the unarmed Dana/Jenny. That one moment was AWESOME! It's not enough to save the season, but it got me cheer out loud! Oh man, it is so good to have Jack back. I just wish they could have done this early on in the show. If they would have there is no doubt that 24 wouldn't have been canceled.

So thanks 24 season 8 writers for destroying one of the only decent TV shows out there. After Jack Bauer kills everyone involved with the Russian's and Rene's death, you all should be next.
