Season 5 and other stuff
I needed a Kiefer Sutherland fix so I got it in my head to relive what is arguably the best season of 24: Season 5. Hey, I said 'arguably' so don't give me any flack :)
I as feeling a mite guilty for getting away from the show for so long so I decided to spend Labour Day weekend watching the 5th season. I'm glad I did. It's totally renewing my 24 addiction. I may spend the next few months leading up to the new season watching 1-4 as well.
Notice I said nothing about the 6th season. Yes I will be buying it because I'm anal about having complete collections. But after stewing about it I've come to the conclusion that, in my opinion, the 6th season was pretty weak. Not that there weren't moments of good, I mean let's face it folks, this is me talking here. I'll never have anything truly awful to say about the show. Love it too much, so if you're looking for TWoP-like snark, you won't get it from me.
Anyway, that's my plan, the revisiting of my favourite seasons. It should be fun.
Oh and this is my cool news: I've also been asked by a couple different publishers to review their 24 books they have coming out. On is an officially licensed book called '24 The Official CTU Operations Manual' and the other is called '24: The Ultimate Guide.' I don't have a link for that yet but it's due out in October. I may also have about 5 copies of it to give away here so keep your eyes peeled here and I'll let you guys know.
My first contest :) How exciting!!

:( And I thought you enjoyed Season 6. I think it's a lot better than some people make it. S3 and S4 weren't that much better. Not at all.
I can't await the Season 6 DVDs. :)
Oh I enjoyed the ride as always. But thinking about it while in the middle of watching the awesomeness that is the 5th season, and I feel like I am justified in saying 6 just didn't top 5.
I know many who believe 6 plain sucked balls. I can't and won't go that far because there was plenty within the season to keep me happy but I can agree that something wasn't right. I just can't put my finger on it.
:) You're right, S6 didn't top S5. :) No season can do that. :) Okay, maybe Season 1, but both are hard to compare. :) I can't await to get the Season 6 DVDs because I'm curious how it will feel watching it all in a row. I did enjoy every single episode of Season 6, but I know what you mean with, that you can't put your finger on it. Something was missing, that is true. But I still liked it, a lot. Season 3 and 4 had episodes along the way that left me quite bored. Season 6 didn't do that. :)
I guess I was a bit stunned because you said you will buy S6 only because you want to keep your collection complete. I don't know, 24 can never be that bad in my opinion. *g* But I'm so crazy about that show, I guess I would enjoy it, no matter what. :)
Yes season 5 totally rocked. As I can no longer get 24 (Sky and Virgin are miserable & greedy) I purchased season 6..I don't know why this got as much flack as it did! I thought it was fab, not the BEST season (mine being S1) but it played out well kept me entertained and totally waiting in anticipation for S7-of course I'll need to wait for the box set because Sky and Virgin are greedy and miserable...sorry did I mention that already? Nothing like over stating a point......
