I’ve started on Season 5 of 24. I had the DVDs on backorder from Play for months now, and is usually the case, I’ve received them a few days ahead of their official release in the shops. So far, I have to say it’s amazing. I remember when I first started watching 24. I had no idea about it, and had simply been given Season 1 as a gift. To say I was hooked was an understatement, and remember doing little else than watching Season 1 in not much time at all (well, about as much as time as it takes to watch 24 episodes of 24…). I quickly bought the remaining series preparing myself for weeks of 24 indulgence.
I have to admit, though, by the end of Season 3 I was getting bored, and I still had Season 4 to go. There was so much repetition, so many predictable events and what was it with Sherry Palmer never dying? That was irritating. By the end of it, I was more pleased I’d finished rather than in anticipation of the next series.
And now Season 5. On the basis of the previous 4, I might not have bought it, but I’m sad in as much as I have to know what happened, even if it has cost me £30. Nevermind- because so far, it’s awesome. Maybe it was the few months break from it all that has reignited my interest in it, but damn, it’s good. The same predictable things are happening, the same cliches, the same over-reacting (CTU has been infiltrated, again…) but I suppose there are only so many storylines. Nope, so far it’s good.
Oh yeah, Saddam Hussein is going to hang for generally being a nasty bit of work. About time.
got halfway through season 3 and lastminute.com stopped delivering the dvd’s, can’t say i was overly disappointed although i was enjoying it. main problem was that elisha cuthbert now has a silly haircut and i don’t fancy her quite so much…
oh it appears i forgot my 6 year anniversary, luckily alice didn’t and so we’re off to see feeder tonight!!
