I'm Out

I was trying to decide whether or not to watch 24 this season (see the comments on technomind's blog). It is now 8:10 pm during the first hour of the first episode of the season. I can't do it.

When Chloe was talking to whoever the woman was and the script went something like this, "How are we going to get Assad?" and I answered at the exact same as the other chick, "Jack Bauer" I decided that I couldn't sit through another season of this garbage (after Edgar died I had a hard time watching last year).

I can't do it. I refuse to commit. If I happen to be bored and choose to watch one week here or there, fine. But I am officially out of the game.

Oh, and here are my predictions: Curtis (who I love), Chloe (who I have always loved even more), and Bill Buchanan: 2/3 won't survive.

and i think you are giving up too early - they pull some stuff by episode 4 that you totally won't expect...

Could be, but I can't do it. Also, did I just see the Van Helsing dude playing a middle Eastern guy? If I am not mistaken, he's indian? It was one thing when the nice little Jewish Iranian kid was playing Bahrooz but I can't stand this anymore...

I am sorry to dissapoint (notice how it is still on in the background).

"I'd fire you both right now, but I can't afford to lose the man power." It is quotes like this (Bill Buchanan: CTU) that make me hate this show.

Can you believe I have never watched a single episode of 24? Although I'm sure I will know exactly what is going on from everyone at work. Did you see this week's cover of [magazine where I work]?

When I read the title to your post, I was reminded of a certain Seinfeld episode. I'll leave it at that.

Sara- I didn't happen to see it. Its because I wasn't in the NewsCorp Building visiting you (and Al Pacino).

SZT-Oh, the things I would write right now if I weren't the good BY girl that I am (was).

Peninah,
If you want a copy, I'll send it to you. Just shoot me an e mail.

Sara- don't worry about it. If I cared about 24 I'd say fine, but I am ok. thanks anyway!
