As much as it pains me to say this - I really am not sure about the latest or indeed the last three installments of 24. I guess there's just only so may ludicrous twists and turns that I can take without having to say 'Oh for fucks sake!' and reach for the cheese flavoured shot gun and stick it in my mouth. I was willing to suspend disbelief for the sheer adrenaline value of the first 4 seasons, and Bauer storming the base to save Heller and his daughter (who Bauer was nailing oon the sly) to the cries of Erin Driscoll screaming "Don't do it Jack!" did give me a genuine semi, however four seasons later I'm really done with the sniper on the roof/whos the mole/torture til they talk roundahouse of weak plot elements the writers seem to think still pass as good plot. I actually didn't bother wathcing the last episode of season 7 because of the Gordon-Ramsay-screwdriver-through-kevlar-kill that demolished my already weakening Bauer shaped pillar of love I had for the franchise. After Jizzworthy HBO series like The Wire, Deadwood and Generation Kill, surely its time to put Bauer to bed? Abuse and death threats welcome...
