Live blogging 24

WARNING: IF YOU AREN'T WATCHING UNTIL LATER, STOP READING.

Ok, I'm getting slightly annoyed with the writers. I get they're trying to keep the seasons cohesive and separate to the extent possible (although we all know Charles and Martha Logan are showing up at some point later this year), but going against 5 years of Jack's character traits is fucking retarded.

Case in point: Jack wants to "take responsibility" for killing his brother? Nevermind that Daddy Bauer actually killed Graem (ugh what a stupid spelling) since Jack doesn't know that yet. JACK DOESN'T TAKE LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR KILLING PEOPLE. NEVER HAS. NEVER SHOULD.

Remember shooting Nina Myers point blank when she didn't have any bargaining chips left? See season 3.

How about executing Ryan Chapelle? (btw, universally known as the moral turning point of the show). See season 3.

Or shooting Christopher Henderson point blank WITH A SCARED SHITLESS NAVY BOY WATCHING? See season 5.

I'm sure there are more. These are just the ones that spring to mind. But now, Jack wants to be all "responsible" and own up to "losing control" while torturing his bro?

Shut up, show.

I haven't watched 24 yet, but I felt the need to make fun of you for live blogging :)

Of course, I wasn't watching 24 because I was watching Battlestar Galactica, so who's the bigger nerd?
