24 (season 8)

Honestly, just in the mood for something easy. Supposedly this was a good season (I bummed out of the previous one. Probably had had enough of Jack Bauer for quite some time.)

I enjoyed it, although there were some serious stretches of plausability. Jack's transformation in the last few hours is intriguing. Is he really that beast? Is he forced into it? Does everybody he connects to, always dies, and why?

I'm not saying this is a deeply philosophical series, but it's a fun thing to contemplate.

But, wondering; the whole idea of showing things that happen simultaneously, seems to have been let go. It's only used to show the same sequence from multiple angles, or as the cross-over mix into commercial breaks. Too bad.
