The Freakin' White House?

I don't think my heart can take anymore two hour episodes of 24. When I finally had a chance to watch last Monday's double episode I sat on the edge of my seat with my heart racing for, whatever time it takes to watch a two hour show while I fast forward through the commercials. And I thank the Lord above for the ability to record something and fast forward through the cell phone commercial with the four geeks and Chad.
My last post about 24 I had my African bad guys mixed up. For the record, Matumbo is the good guy and Dubaku was the old bad guy, he's dead and now, there's a new bad guy, General Juma. General Juma stormed the White House and has the President, the Presidents daughter, Jack Bauer, Bill Buchanan, our beloved Aaron Pierce, Red from That 70's Show and a whole bunch of extras as hostages. The freakin' White House!? I can't wait to see how Jack Bauer gets them out of this one.

Ohio Connections

Maybe I watch too much TV to write about TV? Let's see......... Monday there's House, 24 and Heroes. Tuesday I watch NCIS and Fringe. Fringe is currently on hiatus, thank God I don't know what the hell's going on on that show. Wednesday, well Wednesday is "holy hour" LOST night. Thursdays Survivor is back on and The Office too. Nothing is ever on Friday's and Saturday's and Sunday I started watching The Amazing Race even though I said I wouldn't. I haven't seen American Idol yet and I don't know what the hell I'm going to do when Dancing With the Stars starts up again in March.
On the last episode of Survivor they voted Candace off, it was only afterward that I found out she was from Ohio, bummer. I'm surprised they voted her and her big boobs off. And we found out that Taj is married to Eddie George, an famous Ohio State football player. I don't know who Eddie George is but the husband does, huh. Oh and there is a couple from Ohio on The Amazing Race. Go Ohio! I will make a concentrated effort to start posting about these crazy shows and the Ohio connections.

Janeane Garofalo is Ruining 24 and Jack Bauer Still Kicks Butt

We finally get a convincible woman president on TV and her husband gets himself kidnapped by Matumbo the terrorist. The first gentleman is screwing everything up for Madam President. Jack Bauer just got the, ummm, the CP30 devise and saved the world AGAIN and now Matumbo the terrorist is going to send the first gentleman to Madam President piece by piece. Someone is going to get themselves killed trying to rescue whimpy and it better not be Tony. He's come back from the dead twice, another death and I think it might stick.
Since Chloe is my second favorite character on 24, I resent Janeane Garofalo, big time. Her face is on the screen a lot more than Chloe and she's doing Chloe geek stuff. She's ruining the whole world's coming to an end television experience for me. I hate when that happens.

Jack's Back

After watching the first four hours of the latest threat to America, I'm hooked! Jack 'Freakin" Bauer is back to save the world whether the U.S government wants him to or not, damn it. Jack is always right and knows what the hell he's doing, when will they learn? Tony is back from the dead to help him, along with Chloe and Bill Buchanan. And that's about it. A rag tag group of four to save the world from impending doom. Awesome.
The only downside for me, so far, is that Janeane Garofalo is part of the cast. Not a big fan of hers. She plays a computer nerd. There was a scene last night where she was investigating a security leak down in the computer basement, alone. I kept hoping someone would discover her and ..... well, put her out of my misery. Didn't happen, maybe next week.

The Migration of the Beluga Whale

You know how those animal shows hook ya when you're flipping through the channels, right? I stopped flipping and watched the Beluga Whales migrate. They migrate in the spring but sometimes they leave too early and the ice freezes over again so they get stuck in an opening in the ice. They have to keep surfacing to keep the ice from freezing over. This leaves them vulnerable to the dreaded Polar Bear. Which is a bummer cause the polar bear almost always comes out the victor. At some point I would think one of the Beluga Whales would try to say,
"Guys, I think we're leaving too early, let's wait a week or two and see if the weather changes."
But in this Polar Bear special I was watching, whoever was the Beluga Whale president gave them a thumbs or fin up and said, it was go time. They got stuck and were sitting ducks and I got to watch a Polar Bear wear down a Beluga Whale, drag it out on the ice, begin to chow down until a bigger Polar Bear came along and took over.

I have decided I'm going to watch 24 this season. They're sucking me in again. I have to watch Jack Bauer kick ass and I heard Chloe in an interview yesterday. I can't not watch Chloe, I love her character. I hope it doesn't suck this season.

24 Redemption - Meh

I watched 24 Redemption last week but I've seen it before. Tears of the Sun comes to mind. It's been done and I was bored by the two hour, 67 commercials movie.
They should have let Jack Bauer ride off into the sunset seasons ago. How much more tortured can a man get? I'm less than thrilled for 24 season 7. With every season there's a new President of the United States, so that put us in about the year 2024, give or take. A television show has jumped the shark when they start bringing people back from the dead. And that would be Tony. He's coming back, again.
So I have to decide if I really want to get into another season of Jack Bauer kicking ass. See just saying that makes me want to watch it and then there's Chloe, my favorite character, I'd miss her. I don't know what to do.
