24 Obsession

OK, so Rob and I have officially become obsessed with the TV show 24. We started watching Season 5 when it was on TV, about half way through the Season. We quickly became addicted, and began faithfully watching the show every Monday (which is something I can rarely do with TV shows, simply because I don't have the attention span to remember what night they are on, let alone what time!). There were many things that we didn't quite understand, but we got the gist.

As soon as the season finished on television, we went out and bought Season 1, so we could get the background, and answer the biggest question we had: why did Jack get grabbed by the Chinese at the end of Season 5??? We knew we were missing something...

Then we bought Season 2, 3, 4, and finally 5. Watching Season 5 from the beggining made a big difference. So many main characters died just in the first episode that we didn't even know of when we watched it on TV (I mean we knew they died, because they made reference to it on the show, but we didn't know who the heck these people were). Anyways, watching now, after getting to know those characters from Season 1 on, it was very sad! I cried. A lot.

So now Season 6 has officially started. After the 2 night four hour Season Premiere, I have so many raging questions...and seriously, this is getting ridonculous! I am dreaming about it and everything!! But seriously, did Curtis die last night??? That would really be sad! And where's Audrey? And what happened to President Logan and Martha, and Aaron Pierce? Argh...so many un-answered questions! I forgot how frustrating a new Season of 24 can be! Because in between seasons, usually 1-2 years go by in Jack's world. So during that time, all the loose ends from the season before are wrapped up, and then many of them are just forgotten about, or quickly brushed over with a brief discussion, on the next season. Like in season 2. Jack apprehends the terrorists and figures out the big bad plot, as usual. But he seems to maybe find happiness after his wife's death in Season 1, with Kate Warner, whose sister turns out to be one of the terrorists. However, in Season 3, they barely mention it, except for a brief phone call between her and Jack in the 1st episode, where we get the hint that they tried at a relationship, but it didn't work out. Blah! They appear to be doing the same thing now with Audrey!! GRRR!!

And seriously. Is Curtis actually dead??
