twenty-four

high octane. this series is aptly described by all the cliche terms in the rainbow. a thrill-ride lightning-packed rollercoaster of action that never slows down and keeps you on the edge of your seat and the balls of your feet.

my only complaint is the women in this show. this writer must be so misogynistic. terry bauer - stupid ho. kim bauer - stupid ho. sherry palmer - stupid ho.

spoilers now. terry makes a decent escape then stops the car so that it rolls down a goddamn hill and explodes. she falls down and gets fucking amnesia. christ. then she refuses to find help, and wanders around in an amnesiatic stupor while an assassin hunts her.

kim sneaks out of the house to go party with her friend and gets kidnapped. then she falls in love with the guy who kidnapped her. then after the car explodes, she goes to his fucking house, where the other kidnapper's crazy brother won't let her leave while a drug deal goes down.

sherry palmer just plain sucks. she's evil and power hungry. and she looks like satan, if satan were a middle-aged black woman.

the guys are so capable. but the women - they're exactly the characters that you want to fucking scream at to not be stupid fucking moron bitches. i really do hate them.
