24 Day 6, hours 3-4 (spoiler alert for those who have yet to watch it)

Two word review : Holy Fuck!

well, okay, it's gonna be more than 2 words but I had to get that out of the way. This could end up being the best season yet. Jack unsure of himself, the bomb going off, Curtis having to be shot, Shaun Majumder as a terrorist, the doctor from Deep Space Nine (took me awhile to relaize who it was). I'm hooked like never before. This is awesome so far. I've come to expect that level of entertainment from this show but that are blowing me away already.

Interesting note : when I realized that it was Dr. Bashir from DS9 I looked him up on the internet and found out a couple of cool things. He married Kira from DS9 AND he's the nephew of Malcom McDowell.

Funny bit about 24. I once got into a discussion about the show at a forum I visit. The guy was putting the show down as being the same thing every year. "All they ever do is fight terrorists" Umm, yeah. They work for CTU. That would be the Counter Terrorism Unit . What do you expect them to do? I have very minor beefs with the show but they are , like I said, very minor and the flaws seems to get ironed out every year. This guy just refused to accept the fact that it only makes sense for it to be terrorists every season. That's like hating on a cop show becasue all they ever do is fight criminals, a cooking show becasue all they do is cook food, ESPN becasue all they do is show sports related shows.
