A little bit more...

Covenant actually hail from Sweden.

Hmm….

Regarding last night’s episode of 24: the pacing seemed a little off…a bunch of stuff happened but it seemed forced. No real tension up until the final bits. Stuff we’ve seen before, like someone’s kid is in danger, extreme office politics and that guy who just seemed to be another pencil pusher? Turns out he used to be a marine. True- he never saw combat but still. Too bad they hyped up the ‘is Jack dead’ bit…I wished they waited a little longer before revealing that he was safe. Too bad too that Sandrine Holt is just a concerned parent- I was hoping she’d be another super-spy or something…but it’s still nice to see her in something.

Also nice to see Agent Pierce…who’s turning out to be quite the fan favorite. Really hope he’s immune to all the death that’s coming around the show lately. Also nice to see Principal Wood to the honorable John Woo thing and waiting for the guy to turn around so he doesn’t shoot him in the back. Shooting people in the back is for sissies.

Why does Robocop keep running away? I know he is supposedly better than Jack because he taught Jack everything he knows…but Habib Marwan did the getting away at every chance bit last season. Hope Zombie Almeida returns for his rightful vengeance.

Mmmm…Brains…

By the way, Holly and I figured out that the President is evil early on…or at least said wouldn’t it be interesting if the VP was just another red herring and the Prez is totally evil. So, is he totally evil? Is someone pulling his strings? Has he got us fooled? What will the FLOTUS do or is she in on it? Will Bill Buchanan learn the truth or will he be next season’s bad guy?

COME ON! WE’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week- Jack, Principal Wood and the chick from Once A Thief versus the American Military.

A filler episode- but a good one.

And the President is still evil. Same goes for the one in the show.

On a different note- kudos to UT Professor Eric Pianka. Last week he gave a speech about human overpopulation that was misconstrued by the public as support for genocide. No- his point was that if we keep up the way we have- we will deplete the planet’s resources and deprive ALL living beings of items necessary for life. I especially like his comment reminding that humans are not the only living beings on Earth.
