24 is Unbelievable (In a Boring Way)

Look, 24, just because you bookend an episode with Awesome Assad doesn't mean I'm going to forget the crap in between. Also, if Assad is dead you are DEAD TO ME! (Tony survived having his face blown off by an explosion; so can Assad.)

Ugh. If I wanted to waste another 44 minutes of my life, I would watch this episode again to keep track of how much time was spent on the Morris subplot. Half the episode! Didn't we sort through this "Morris is/isn't fit for work" crap last week? Why the need to rehash? That's quite a bruise on the back of Morris's head, by the way. It's a wonder he's even able to sit upright.

Are we supposed to think Logan is redeemed now because he reads the Bible? Was Charles Manson redeemed? Oh, he reads the Bible, it's OK that he conspired to kill David Palmer. Everyone can change!

Speaking of this conspiracy, who wasn't involved in it? Jack's brother, Jack's father, Logan, this Russian dude Markov. Should that many people be involved in a conspiracy?

Quote of the Night: "You can't go soft on us now, Reed." That's what she said.

Poll: Bigger Waste of Time: 24 or Lost?

1. We miss Karen--nice to see her flight is taking some time
2. We miss Bill having a good role
3. We miss Chloe having a good role
4. We're tired of hearing all about Morris, too.
5. We miss a good CTU plot line
6. The bomb at the end was sweet
7. It's nice to see Jack and Logan all dressed up. And Logan staring at his collection of pins and pulling out a new shirt and tie-- the guy has been caged far too long!
8. Of course people can be transformed by the Bible. However I'm not convinced about Logan quite yet.
9. A whole lot of story and relationship development this season, but that's not what we like! We like deceit, violence and people yelling at each other! Bring back the good ol' days!! But there's still half a season left--it'll get better, right?!?!?!

And you're crazy to infer that 24 is as bad as Lost! You can't compare those two, from what we can tell! Remember 24 is in season 6, it was due to "jump the shark."
