24

So John's been gone for the whole month of July due to Army ROTC camp. While he's been gone I've decided to honor his absence by watching one of his favorite TV shows, 24. I may or may not have watched 4+ season's in 4 weeks. Whatever no big deal. Anyways, while watching I've been compiling a list of why the show is so great... or not so great. Take it as you will.

1. Jack's voice: an obnoxiously loud whisper? Or is that really how he talks
2. Everything that could go wrong does, aaaand I'm pretty sure everyone is a suspect at one point
3. Talk about office romances
4. You can absolutely love a character and then end up hating him/her the very next episode. The opposite is also true
5. Most of the time the conflicts and problems Jack faces could be averted if he would just communicate
6. Not sure why Jack is always a suspect... every season. Even though he always turns out being right in the end.
7. Makes ya laugh makes ya cry, makes ya happy, makes ya angry
8. Let's talk about the creepy background music/noise. It's creepy.
9. I always try to guess who's going to die each season. Super fun.
10. Jack's phone is never on silent, even when he is trying to be ultra sneaky
11. I love the outdated technology in the older seasons. Me and my iPhone could take you all!
12. Every season has the one episode with silent beeps at the end. Totally adds to the story line.
13. CTU's cement walls and dark dingy interior; not only is it a life-threatening job, but the workplace sucks too.
14. Every season there's an episode that has Jack screaming d@#%'t as someone dies before he got to interrogate him/her.
15. Who's the traitor/mole in CTU gunna be this season?
16. Jack can work through anything, sometimes I almost even forget that he had his ribs cracked the episode before
17. Work places like CTU must have an incredibly high turn over rate. If I worked there I'd be stressing big time about my job security... Let alone saving the world
18. I guess a requirement for working for the government is that you can never get tired
19. Never knew our white house was filled with so many power hungry traitors
20. Jack always gets royally screwed in the end. Poor guy
21. Jacks kind of a player, how many girl friends does he have?
22. Work at CTU trumps all personal crisis, ailments, and family emergencies. Talk about a major time commitment
23. Never knew the president granted so many pardons
24. Everyone on the show seems to get ridiculously sweaty faces. Ever heard of a towel?

I will admit, there were times I got super into this show. Yelling at the TV even. So thank you Jack for keeping me company through my lonely days and nights.
