So far I think this is going to be the best season ever. Really, liked it...a lot!

I've seen a lot of predictable articles over the last few days questioning whether a show like 24 belongs in today's America.  "The guns, the torture, the violence, the jingoism, WHAAAAAA!!!!".  As I read, I could literally hear the author's heart bleeding.  I hope this season breaks ratings records just to prove people like that wrong.

I love high brow TV like Game of Thrones and Mad Men as much as anyone.  But sometimes, I just want to watch an American hero like Jack F'ing Bauer kick some ass.  If that offends your delicate sensibilities, then tough shizzle.

Black Diamond,
Games of Thrones high brow? More blood and gore than anytime on 24.  Good TV though.  I would like to see what Jack could do with a sword.

I do like shows with plot twists.

Well in this case, when I say "high brow", I mean "critically acclaimed". 

I did notice that Michelle Fairley (AKA Catelyn Stark) is the presumed "big baddie" on 24 this season.  So she was killed at the Red Wedding, and now she's up against Jack Bauer.  She must really enjoy roles in which her character dies horrifically.
