TV: One Nation, Under 24

Maybe my reaction to hyperanalysis has changed from guilty savoring to mere tolerance, but Troy Patterson's look into the 24 phenonemon sorta makes me wish Bauer would just suffocate him to shut him up. Which isn't to say it's not a recommended read.

A Greek Orthodox friend in undergrad used to complain about how people who weren't a part of religion, while capable of intellectual analysis, missed something special in their objective writings about it. The same must hold for the Church of Bauer.

I guess I'll have to kiss your ass firmly then, b/c I've got 8 episodes left of season five before i can start watching season 6 on my DVR, which was a birthday present purchased EXPLICITY for the purpose of making sure we didn't miss any 24 :0)

fortunately, I sorta like spoilers. They keep my blood pressure regulated.
