24: Day 4

11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

i like Kim Raver and her Audrey character. she's not annoying or as pointless as most of the previous abducted women have been over the years. i'm pulling for her and her gutsy father. (it'll take a rather surprising rescue -never doubt that it could happen, though- to save these two but -- Audrey did recognize the only white guy on the terrorists' team. that should be put to use sometime in the near future. if she escapes. if she doesn't, it was a good moment. the writers have been great so far this season about using things incidentally instead of using every single momentglance/chance meetings as if the world depended on it. the Curtis/Marianne storyline is the best example. i was fearing the worst but so far it's turning out real well for the show.)

the episode ended rather suddenly - i was sure we'd actually see which decision Jack took, but no. we know he'll most likely go in, but then again, maybe not. he could surprise us. he has changed a bit.

i loved how i was pulling for Kalil when he was checked out by the police. the writers know how to do this - twist things around so you're pulling for the opposite action of what we're used to root for.

i love how i'm also pulling for the usually annoying geeks, ie. Chloe and Edgar, this season. these kinds of characters are written so much better than in previous seasons. go Edgar.

btw, i'm still not feeling the whole Araz family thing.
(something the ex pointed out to me -- where the hell is Debbie's car? as far as i know she pulled up in front of the house, right where her mom pulled over 20 minutes later.)

but it's the only sour note this season.
i'm slowly but seriously getting hooked back in by the show. and i couldn't be happier about it.
