24: Day 4
6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

oh. my. god.
a fucking Blackout!
and it's only 7 pm. i hope they don't chicken out of it by the next hour. this could be good. damn good. and to think that throughout the whole episode i was thinking i would stop blogging about the show because it made me watch it from a distance, thinking about what i'd write, not to mention the less-than-stellar writing spots we've had since last season. i'd grown cynical about the series (as a lot of other fans as well, i fear). this episode was also a rough and boring one (complete with drawn out Driscoll's annoying daughter's post-suicide) ... but then things started to change -- Paul became my man by taking off with the printout, the EMP blackout actually happens, and then... Michelle ?? fuck me. i was clapping like a happy seal. (but they can't be bringing back past co-stars. it feels too much like past glories coming back to save the show, you know? this one should be able to stand on its own. so this should be it before the end of the season where you can have one more character coming back for a last hurrah. that's it.) damn the whole 2nd half of the episode was awesome. the whole run-up to the EMP blast (complete with a screaming Jack holding on for dear life) was a rush! i fucking loved it! we're back, baby. (maybe.)
