Don't you just hate it when...
When you have something really funny to say, or you think it's funny but you aren't sure because you can't remember what it is? Well, that happened as I was about to write this post. Damn it! I had two things to write about: "24" and something. And "something" was probably quite interesting, witty, or provocative. Well, shit.
Anyway, I was watching "24" on tape tonight, I mean really watching it, without my computer or anything. And, I noticed that the show is absolutely, rigorously unfunny. It appears that the series writers, in their effort to inject every minute of "24" with drama, thus making every second count, they engaged in a fantastic struggle to remove any chance of humor from the show. I mean, you'd expect that I guess, in a show concerning one day's worth of earth-shattering danger, but seriously! You think no one would say something funny or make a joke to lighten the mood? I'm not kidding here; I'm serious. I mean, it's not that they aren't trying to make the show funny, of course they aren't, but it seems like a lot of work went into making sure nothing funny occurs. I think that's why the show is so uncomfortable to watch; everything is so serious all the time.
Jack: Damn it, Saunders, where are the vials? I'll kill your daughter!
Saunders: No, stop it! Would you like some tea? I'm British.
Jack: Shut up, this is serious! ChloƩ, I need a 10-20 on the GPS.
ChloƩ: Darn you, Tony, darn you to heck. Make my life difficult, eh? Well!
David Palmer: Oh, I'm a good president. I have morals and such. However, sometimes one has to struggle with their conscience for 59 minutes and then do something they don't want to do. Damn you Sherry.
Sherry Palmer: I want to be president of the whole world!
Anywho... the uh, the show, it... wow, that little dialogue did nothing to prove my point. Furthermore, only one of my readers probably got that. At most.
So, there you have it, one of the two things I was planning to write about.

That is true, but while you may not have noticed this, it is easy to observe that Elisha Cuthbert is rarely seen naked or in any sexual situations of any sort. Okay, SCENARIO, for next season: An African terrorist threatens to kill major world leaders with his team of highly trained, sexy female assassins. Okay? Now, Kim Bauer has to infiltrate the ring of assassins, by replacing one of them. Then she has to seduce the leader of the team and "pump her" for information. And that's the whole season. Everyone else dies.
