I have precious little firsthand experience with it, but if this is what being wrong is like, I’ve got to admit it feels pretty damn good, because this has been the most consistently entertaining season since the highwater mark of season five more than eight years ago. (Really, how are you gonna keep ’em down on the farm once they’ve seen Breaking Bad?) I just naturally assumed that this was going to be embarrassing, nothing more than a sad attempt to resurrect something when its time had come and gone. And frankly, seasons 6–8 had done that enough. Like the rest of the world, I was disappointed when I heard they were resurrecting 24, because it seemed like a step backward for star Kiefer Sutherland and, in my mind, could only serve to further dance on the grave of what was, at one time, the most exciting show on television. I suppose I just assume they’re not, because it’s just like society to ignore an awesome thing until it’s way too late. Truth be told, I don’t know if people are watching 24 or not. While the main part is relatively spoiler free, I have updated it to include brief thoughts on said finale, which I will spoil the ever living crap out of. (AUTHOR’S NOTE: This post was originally written before the season finale.
