24 - Logan & Edgar

Yesterday's '24', it's from 5pm-7pm...
I guess... this season (season 5) of '24' is more... err.. emotional... at least, it's more emotional for me...
it's really quite 'heart breaking' when I saw Edgar coming out from the basement, looking at the bunch of 'survivor' (nerve gas survivor) in the sealed conference room, as it's sealed, so, the room cannot be opened anymore.. I guess, we all wish that the room can be opened again, and Edgar can come in and thus be saved, but no... he's dying... I guess... mm... after all the previous seasons, for once, '24' try to be a little bit emotional... or maybe it's because, for once, for this season, I don't rush through the season, and therefore, there's room to be emotional for me :-)

Previouly, I used to rush through the whole season, 1 hour/1 episode followed by another, tightly, and I could finish the whole season within 1 day, ya, just like I've gone through the full intense 24 hours myself... well... it's an experience.. as if, you're watching 'real time' :-) however... for this season (season 5), I have been watching it on the Australia National TV (Channel 7) and well... the TV broadcaster have been very kind to the audience. '24' is aired in supersized, ie. it's aired 2 hours per day, and 2 days per week, but only for 1 week of a month. ie. after the supersized week, the following week will be back to normal, ie. 1 hour per day, and then, followed by the next day's 1 hour... however, that's good enough for me... otherwise, once a week? come on? the suspense will kill me...

(just like season 3, when Chappelle has to be executed, by Jack Bauer, I didn't like Chappelle at all, he's more irritating than George Mason, and less comedic, but when Jack asked if he's any message or anything to say to some people, after thinking for a while, he actually shook his head and say 'no'. ie. How lonely this man is, and how sad his life is... as sometimes, we all think that, ah!! maybe one day we die, nobody will actually feel sad for us, but then... there WILL always be somebody who'll cry for our 'departure'. However, for Chappelle's case, it really seems to be NOBODY, that's very depressing!!)

Ah!!! and the irritating Kim Bauer is out again... why wasn't she killed by the nerve gas... sigh!!! I find it extremely irritating when she's not thrilled at the fact that her own father is in fact, still alive, and then, after that, she keep lingering on the fact that, the father didn't trust her, and didn't want to let her know that, he's in fact NOT DEAD!!! come on... we all know that, (after season 2, the one with the nuclear bomb threat, in that season, Jack told her not to tell people about the nuclear bomb threat, but then, she almost told everybody she met on her runninng-away route out of LA, come on!!!!)she's the most untrustable person on earth. And when she's even comparing herself with Chloe (the fact that Chloe knows that Jack is not dead) as who's more trustworthy... and Chloe gave her this answer... to shut her up, good work chloe, (I really feel like giving Kim a slap on her so-called beautiful face... nah!!!! Elisha Cubert doesn't look as pretty as when she's in 'The Gal Next Door' anymore, and her complexion deteriorate... serve her right!!) Chloe said to her, "Of all people who knows your father is still alive, half is dead, Palmer was assasinated, Michelle is dead, and Tony is in critical condition now. I am still standing here cos your father found me in time!!" and YES!!! stupid Kim shut up for a while, otherwise, she'll still continue to act as if she's so smart...

Oh!! Back to the topic.. well... I know (somehow I know, read from forum's threads) that Logan will be a bad guy... but, so far, I haven't found him as irritating and as useless as the previous season. He seems to have progressed a little bit. And having his wife, Martha around also helps improve the scenes with Logan... otherwise, like the previous season, there're several time, I really feel like throwing my TV remote control to the TV screen, to smash Logan's face... and recently, both Logan and the wife Martha, well.. both the actor and actresses are nominated for Emmy Awards Best Supporting Actor and Actresses... mm... well done, then!!

Mm... only one wish I have with '24', others die or not die throughout the 24 hours, doesn't matter (since my favourite Tony and Michelle will be dead and is already dead, but of course, I really hate to see Jack's close pals go away/die) but, I wish... hm... Kim will be dead soon :-)

Most irritating roles in '24', since season 1,
season 1 - Terri and Kim Bauer, like mother like daughter, I really can't stand their character as in, both of them are just so nosy, hm!! if Terri is less nosy, didn't sniff around in CTU, which she shouldn't at all, cos, she's just a common civilian, she won't be killed by Nina, and for Kim, same thing goes to her, Nina should have killed her there and then... (That's why, as opposed to MOST viewers of '24', I hate this season the most)
season 2 - Kim Bauer, and Shirley Palmer... Kim, never improves, and Shirley.. another woman who's so hunger of power, and do all the funny things to get it
season 3 - still, Shirley Palmer, good that, she's in the end, DEAD!!!
season 4 - I kinda like this season, even thou it's not that outstanding, cos, at least, all those irritating characters are gone, oh!! ya, now I remember, Audrey Raines... another cry baby, just like Terri, I don't know why, Jack always ended up with this type of women!!! hai...
season 5 - well.. so far so good, Audrey has proven to be much stronger and louder (I like the part she's yelling and arguing with Lynn, so different from the previous season, where she'll just sit there and cry) and she's not scared anymore, and won't disapprove anymore, when Jack 'needs' to torture to get information :-) ghee... Oh!! I like the part where Jack, scare, beat up, yell at Christopher Henderson, still can't get a word off Henderson, and this Henderson (of course, he's the one who recuited Jack into CTU and trained him, so, if we think Jack is good, Henderson, if not better, will be just as good as Jack, so, don't dream of getting any words out of him) keep challenging him to shoot him, then... oh!!! unexpectedly, Jack shot Miriam Henderson, on her uppper thigh... haha!!! that's thrill!! Jack's really a man of action!!! but of course, I guess Henderson knows that Jack is not a truly cruel man, even though he threaten to, but he WON'T kill Miriam, so, in the end... ya, Jack still didn't get anything out of Henderson... sigh...
