24
1:00 AM - 3:00 AM
Palmer's back :) too bad i'd caught Access Hollywood or some other bullshit show playing a clip of an interview with him with the phrase 'Explosive 24 Twist' or some shit splashed across the screen. ah well. i knew they couldn't go on without bringing back almost everybody from the real 24. glad to have Dennis and his deep grovel voice back, though. makes a stark contrast with the new President (which was, i must say, wonderfully played by Gregory Itzin; instead of making him smarmy or entirely weak, he made him somewhat surprisingly understandable as the man becomes the President of the United States during such hellish circumstances). at least the logic works (so that's why they brought back Mike!). (speaking of which - it's time to bring back William Devane! i'd so forgotten about him.)
second, Chloe gunning down a bad guy was the best 10 seconds of my life. totally unexpected and truly breathtaking. the very definition of bad-ass. go Chloe! (they somehow managed to pull that one off and make it believable.)
and finally, Jack is definitely not getting any at the end of this season. and that was some moment the director let him have there. we usually get a shocker at the end of every episode. but this time, they decided to let Jack's face take control of the screen. he could not escape. it was amazing seeing him shaken like that as he struggled with such a surreal and gut-wrenching consequence. outstanding.
only four to go :)
and, with the exception of the return of Palmer, i managed to make it through the entire season without any spoilers whatsoever.
life is grand :)
