24 (5-6m)

Once again, 24 is wrapping up has wrapped up its main plot. The nuclear reactors have been saved, there' s only one more terrorist left to get & only a few interpersonal subplots to play with. On the face of it, there is no reason except for habit that I should watch next week.

But this is the way that 24 works. It radically changes the stakes of this story halfway through each season. Given how much better this first half has been than Season 3's diabolical narco-terrorist plot, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what the writers had planned.

So that's the reason I'm watching. To be surprised.
