Retro-24: Reviewing Season 1 (part 2)

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

I made a commitment as I watched season 1 again, to check out if there are any times within the show that wouldn’t mesh with the bombshell we find out about Nina at the end. I’ve always had this kind of obsession with going through a movie, or TV show again and again trying to find any slip-ups or things that just absolutely didn’t make any sense when you compare them to how the show actually turned out.

After watching season 1 again I couldn’t find any of those slip-ups and realized that throughout the entire show they were “telling” us it was Nina anyway. By something so simple as the introduction (which was only done on season 1 and then they switched to the “Previously on 24″ stuff) where Jack would explain to us what is happening that day. I would usually fast forward through that part, but I noticed every time they showed a clip of Nina looking shifty. To take some wisdom from Homer Simpson, it’s always the person with the shifty eyes, and Nina shifter her eyes throughout the entire season.

I also realized, again, how much I loathe Sherry Palmer. Out of all the mean, sadistic, and just plain weird women that have appeared on 24 Sherry Palmer is the one I hate the most. Even more than Nina, yes. At least Nina is getting paid to do what she does. Sherry is just plain evil. The way she would talk down to David Palmer, the way she said “David,” made me want to strangle her.

Retro-24: Reviewing Season 1

Monday, December 11th, 2006

My friend Matt gave me an idea a while ago to review the past seasons of 24.

I own all of them, and my girlfriend hasn’t seen any of them, so we’re going through all of them before season 6 premieres. It’s quite the feat, but we’ll accomplish it.
