As a followup to my post the other day, I did wind up watching most of the four hour season premiere of 24. I'm sure there will be some good episodes mixed in, but the plot isn't doing anything for me and I will not be watching any further episodes, except maybe the season finale depending on my schedule. Frankly, the whole idea of a massive government conspiracy (which seems to be the basis for every season of 24) is just a bit spent. Fortunately, I have plenty of work to keep me busy, even in this slow economic time.
But, if you like the action and conspiracy theories that are prevalent in the past couple of seasons of 24, I'm sure you'll devote another day out of your life to watching Jack Bauer save the day again. I'll be content to just read the top 100 facts about Jack Bauer instead.
Now, Lost is another story - I'm too far invested in the show to give up on it this close to the finish. Only another week or so to go for that one.

New season of 24: pass

24 new season starts up
Although I have been fairly successful in limiting my television watching (or at least limiting the tivo to just a couple of shows), I think I'm going to go ahead and watch 24 tonight and then decide whether I want to keep watching it or just record it and watch it all at once in the summer. It is nice having the freedom to watch shows online at my own convenience, that's for sure.
So is the new season of 24 going to be any good? I'm sure that it will be entertaining and nowadays I need some mindless crap to watch just to keep things interesting and sane.

24: Redemption thoughts
I did sit and watch the 24: Redemption preview yesterday. It was okay. I had heard that episode was supposed to be the start of last season (which got cut short) and they reworked it so they could essentially start over when the new season starts in January.
I wonder if they will just gloss over the subpoena stuff and "find out" that Jack Bauer was granted a presidential pardon as Powers Booth's final act as president. I kept waiting for them to show his name on a pardon list, but alas, I will have to wait to find out what happens next on January 11 (or in June so I can watch the entire show without commercials and through tivo).
So, if you like 24, you will be moderately disappointed by this episode, but it gives some hope if you plan on watching the next season.
