My thoughts on 24 and a giveaway
21 January 2010
If you hung with yesterday’s insanely long post on Go Teen Writers, and you want to see how the story ends, it’s up and ready to read. If it seems like a lot to bite off today, I’ll give you the short version: I get published.
Today, the lovely and talented Trish Perry is having me on her blog for an interview. She’s also giving away a copy of Out with the In Crowd. Leave a comment for a chance to be entered, etc.
So, I finally got around to watching Monday night’s 24 episodes.
Here’s what I like about this season
I think they did a really good job of opening up the next plot line involving the nuclear weapons. We had a few hints of it early on, but when it showed up, it still caught me off-guard. (Maybe that’s just me. I’m not the best at predicting where a plot is going.)
Renee’s character. She’s sooooo different than the FBI agent we met at the start of last season. I think she’s doing a phenomenal job playing this part.
That we finally have another agent, Cole whatever (Freddie Prinze Jr.), who isn’t afraid to step up and be a man. I thought it was really cool when he said he was with the assassin, even though he thought it was going to kill him.
The president for the Middle Eastern country they’re desperately avoiding naming. My favorite thing they did with him (and I know this is going to sound weird, so stick with me) is give him a mistress. If he wasn’t betraying his wife, he’d be the cookie cutter of a perfect president, and they already did that with David Palmer.
How Jack has a goal—to get to L.A. to be with his daughter. My memory may not be perfect on this, but I don’t think Jack’s ever had a real goal of his own before. I like it.
Here’s what I don’t like, or what is confusing the heck out of me
Dana Walsh. I’m fine with Dana, but she better have one big honking secret, because she’s really giving that guy from her past a long leash. Seriously, why did she give him her key? They’re really building it up, so it better be big and impressive.
Um … why are we in New York? Did I miss something somewhere along the way? How come Jack, Chloe, and Renee all happen to live in New York?
What amused me
That Renee put that Russian mob presentation together in about five minutes. She’s quite the lady.
