To watch... or not...
I can't decide if I want to watch the season over again this summer when FOX reruns it. Part of me wants to, because I'd feel like a disloyal fan if I didn't support my show. But part of me wants to have a breather from it so I can devour the DVDs when they come out later this year.
I'm happy that 24 starts in January so that I can enjoy a new episode every week instead of ridiculous breaks that require recap episodes peridically to remind us what's been going on (ie. Lost.) Yeah the long break between seasons sucks but the payoff is worth it. It could be worse you know, it could be Soprano-like with a new season whenever the hell they feel like making it.
But nothing, I mean nothing beats being able to sit down on a Friday night and watch every fast-paced, exciting episode right on through to Sunday. We love the 24-a-thons in my house. A whole weekend of Jack? Who wouldn't love that?
I'm just afraid of overdosing on it if I watch the summer repeats of it and then again in late fall with the DVDs. I like to space out the Jack. It's like a tantlizing tease knowing I could watch the show every Friday night, or I could torture myself (in a good way) and wait for the disks.
I think I prefer the torture. Hurts so good ;)

Melia, I couldn't agree with you more about the dvd-a-thons. I love cramming a whole season into one weekend. That, and I love the fact that they've started doing prequels. I just wish I had the option of watching friday night re-runs. Although, AFN (armed forces network) Pacific is running the show on mondays here in Japan (finally). I kept up with the season thru downloads and podcasts. And I am growing weary of a possible o.d. myself, since I have season 5 downloaded. But I am all abuzz with possible season 6 scenarios racing thru my head. If I were you I'd watch the episodes I liked, and tune out the crap from this season (not that there was much in terms of crap this year.). And remember, there are 201 days left to this year. Meaning there are probably 215 days until the season premiere. Thanks for a great season of blogs, recaps, and musings. I look forward to being stateside for season 6 and being a little more up to speed for a change.
i agree with you both on the dvd-a-thons but i can't wait for the next season to come out, and then the movie. It is probably a good thing that they decided to air it next year, but i want it now. Oh well, i have to wait. I guess that i am impatient because i started watching it this past february. Next thing ya know i'm at the movie store every chance i get, watching the dvds and keeping up with the 5th season. And i think it's funny because most of my friends believe me to be out of my mind for getting hooked on this show. I just tell them to get the first disk of the first season, watch it and then tell me I am crazy. But of course they say no and hold that i am wacky. Some of them have come to their senses and seen as many as they can. Anyway thanks for the photos and such, enjoyed them greatly.
