In order to protect the innocent (or you crazy 24 fans)
I’m not going to post who sent me the following, and I’m just taking some of the more amusing snippets. Guess what, it’s about 24.
If everyone on “24” followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12”
Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer farking
hates lemonade.
It’s no use crying over spilt milk… Unless that was Jack Bauer’s milk. Oh you are so
screwed.
Jack Bauer doesn’t miss. If he didn’t hit you it’s because he was shooting at another
terrorist twelve miles away.
Jack Bauer killed 93 people in just 4 days time. Wait, that is a real fact.
There is the right way, the wrong way, and the Jack Bauer way. It’s basically the right
way but faster and more deaths.
I will not say who sent this, I don’t want them getting hurt..
Hurt? Someone sounds a bit miffed, I feel sorry for them. I thought it was pretty funny, although last night we finished season one, and Jack missed a bunch of times as he was running down the pier with his (2) 9 mil hand guns blazing like Laura Croft. I still fail to see how this makes him any different than any other show in the same genre. It’s Alias, but with a dude instead of a chick, and no lingerie. It’s the TV version of Bond, without the big budget to get the RC BMW, and the fine Bond women. It’s Mission Impossible 1,2 and 3 crammed into 24 hours. They are all the same. Hero gets scratched, but not killed, and everyone around him will either end up dying or betraying him. Nothing new here in that regard.
Why do we watch? Certainly not for the goofy Keanu Reeves style facial expressions or because the hero is invincible. There are many reasons. The writing is good and always making turns where you don’t expect. One huge one for me is because my wife likes it. Try watching Alias with your wife. Doesn’t work for any guy I know of. The 24 hour format is cool, and it does take on somewhat of an ER perpetual actor cycle. Keeps it fresh and keeps you on your toes. Nobody is safe, so you never know who is going to get it (except Jack, of course, that’s a given).
Who’s got my back on this? Why do YOU watch?
Brendo, you have caught it. It is good and “fun” entertainment. Is it the most consistent or logical thing around, probably not. Is it fun to watch because of the twists, turns, yelling, etc., yeah. I love to see what outlandish thing they will come up with next.
People, People, People.
Did I ever say 24 was bad? No. I said it was mind numbing television from the same people who brought you “When buildings go bad”. So far, you’ve just confirmed what I say.
Is it fun to watch stuff go boom? Sure. Is it programming that makes one think? No.
Bets on who buys the farm tonight? I’m hoping his daughter 🙂
Thans for ruining the next season for me man. Based on your synopsis, I figured the daughter got whacked at the end of season 2. Perhaps she just gets kidnapped by Republican aliens in search of nuclear fission from peanut oil in season 2…. don’t tell me, I want to be surprised.
How does Justin Timberlake put it?? Cry me a river brendo.
Besides. I don’t even know if the
Spoiler
Tags even work here.
And the daughter is still around.
I think I’d put up a collection to get her whacked.
