A Happy New Year to everyone.
Also wanted to address a few emails i’ve been getting about site activity. Fresh posts have been sparse here lately to due various issues, but I wanted to reassure visitors that 24fans.com will be alive and kicking for Season Seven.
Having conducted a review of the site i’ve decided that I was simply trying to do too much, and spreading the available effort too thin. For Season Seven we’ll have a slight shift in focus, from covering as much of the small detail as possible to providing more thoughful opinion and commentary on the upcoming season (and beyond hopefully). We’ve got atleast one exciting new contributor (and more may follow) who will provide coverage of the season from an Almeidaiest point of view. Her first piece on the return of Tony and the first 17 minutes of Season Seven will be posted later today, and i’ll be following that up with my own thoughts on the new season.
Hope you all had a very good holiday season, but it’s time to get back to the serious business of 24!
Episode five was predictable. Sooooo predictable. You just knew that Walker was going to get herself captured a la Chase in Season Three when he went to Mexico to rescue Jack but wound up getting captured. Just as in tonight’s episode, jack was given the gun to kill Chase. Of course he didn’t kill Chase just like he didn’t kill Walker. Moreover, the Walker interrogation subplot is trite as the show is trying too hard to draw comparisons between Jack at CTU and Walker at the FBI. Yup, same dull bureaucrats saying don’t do that torture thang. What did we learn? Nothing. There are bureaucrats at the FBI and at CTU. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. By the way, we all know that Emmerson is going to take a bullet to the head don’t we?
