I love 24 - but I always wait until the box set comes out so I can watch them over a few days in almost 'real time'. I find it much better tension than waiting a week (with the risk of missing an episode) - Have you noticed in Season 5 that they go a bit easy on the torture - could that be to do with revelation of Extraordinary Rendition?

And why, or why did they gratuously kill Almeida - he was the bollox of a foil to Bauer.

And I've just got sick of lost now as they just keep dragging the story out.

Don't get me started on Lost! It's all supposed to be building up towards some big revelation, but the individual episodes are so mind-numbingly tedious. All those "meaningful" bloody flashbacks...

And if the show's popularity fades, they'll never make that "big" final episode, so what a waste of everyone's time that'll have been. To be honest, I'm sure the writers are making it up as they go along anyway.

tony was always cooler than jack. but tony + jack = \m/.

remember that bit in serious 3 or 4 (i forget which)? jack's up the proverbial creek, he's like "I have to call the only guy I can trust!", then tony bursts in and shoots about 5 terrorists.

Awesome.

FWIW, I like Lost. Granted, the flashbacks are cr@p, and I really don't like the way they string things out... but it's still the best thing on after 24, IMO.

^I take it you havent watched prison break then ;)

IMHO much more exciting than lost even if it isnt as "clever" (well some bits are) or "strange".

^ i decided not to, it looked a bit, er, cr@p from the trailers. Too many exclamation marks etc.

You know like all those documentaries that are like "extreme tunnel collapses!!!!!!!!!!" and "world's most amazing tonsil operations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kind of reminded me of that.

So Sam, it ruuuuuuuules but then you completely lost interest?

That's what I'd call a short attention span.

Even my wife gets totally addicted to 24 (I wonder if that's something to do with Kiefer Sutherland .... ;)). We've only seen through Season 3, watching the DVDs in whacking great blocks when we get a chance. :) I never dig Elisha though (not even in secret ;)). She always seemed like eye-candy for whom the writers couldn''t fake up any other real purpose ....

Heh, didn't know Sutherland Jr. there played the geetar. He's sure got a bigger budget to spend on toys than I do! I wonder how good he is? (Wouldn't take much to beat me on that score either, admittedly! ;)). Where's his MP3s? :)
