Catching up - 1pm-3pm
Right so.. I'd better catch up with the first 2 episodes of season three then go from there eh? I should start by saying that this blog's gonna be spoilerific so if you aren't watching, are waiting for the DVDs or are unfortunatel enough to be living outside the states where 24 hasn't aired yet, you might want to avoid reading all of this.
Anyway, after an agonizing wait, Season Three began (and I have to say the wait was even more torturous with that stupid Ford short in front of it. Urgh!) and I am happy to report that it did not disappoint at all. I can even buy Kim at CTU because let's face it, ridiculous situations or not, she always managed to get out of them and keep her cool. Besides, the writers make no bones about the fact that she got the job because of Jack. Hell even Jack says as much while explaining to Chase why she was at CTU.
Speaking of Chase - phwoar! He needs a bit more hair but other than that I like him so far. He's not afraid to stand up to Jack. Actually, I wasn't all that sure I'd like Jack having a partner but so far so good.
Tony and Michelle married... Well that's pretty cool actually. They seem happy together and neither of them are really field agents so the danger element isn't there as much as it is for Jack. I wonder if they'll be more tension between them as Michelle circumvents Tony and helps Jack out. Or maybe they're not doing much this season other than handling Intel. We'll see...
Palmer's dating the doc. Good for him! She's hot, smart, and so far doesn't seem to have ulteriror motives although last week's cliffhangar leads me to wonder if she's all that she seems to be. I hope she's not a baddy, I like the actress. I do not like Palmer's kid brother. He's a bit of a wanker. Novick gone bad and kicked up a notch. Should make for some great desk-pounding from Palmer as he gets frustrated by Wayne's dirty politics. It's so hard to be honorable.
And Jack.... and Jack. Oh that poor guy. I was gobsmacked at the end of the first episode - the intensity, the hopelessness... I was a bit confused however when Chase was telling him to 'get his head straight' because it never occurred to me that he was basically telling Jack to take a hit. Looking back it's blatantly obvious that's what he was doing, but when I first saw it, I admit I thought he was telling Jack to cut it out and then of course Jack doesn't listen and gets his gear out anyway. How stupid am I? Don't answer that. I like that Chase knows about Jack's smack habit and wants him to just do it and get it over with because frankly, it really is the wrong day to be stubborn about it and quit. BUT - Jack saved the vial so maybe we'll get to see Kiefer do some great drug acting. He better get the feckin' Emmy this next year. Chicklis has enough of them.
Best line of the show so far? Shutup stupid.
