The story line does. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think the government of the US is out to “radically” change the perception of Islam. Oh, wait, that means… conspiracy

You suffer through all the mysteries, but are always deprived of the revelation and good ending. And it’s become the new style — it seems most new shows have to follow this format, ever since the success of “Lost”. Which I couldn’t watch either, for the same reasons.

[Ice-cream…drool. Thanks for spelling correction. Pam hasn’t been on duty of late.]

Is this now the fashion du jour in cinematography? “Flight 93” made a fetish of jerking the camera around. I guess it’s supposed to make you think that “you are there.” As Michelle Malkin likes to say: (Snort!)

I’ve not seen the latest “24”, but I’ve read quite a few complaints about this craziness with the camera. Ilana’s report just confirms it all the more.

The scenes jump around on the screen too much making me feel seasick.

I did see the one part where Jack was to be sacrificed. Since I saw Apocalypto a few weeks ago, my thoughts immediately went to Mayan sacrifices for the “state”.

If I was Jack, I would probably have told the government to go screw themselves. Actually, I was impressed that some of the characters scooped up by the feds were actually shown to be bad guys. As far as dealing with “reformed” terrorists, since when is making deals with snakes anything new?

[Yeah, sure, but killing a buddie–a good man–for a snake?]
