I enjoy watching the TV series 24. It isn't something one can recommend, very violent, very aggressive lots of tension. Its not for the faint of heart. The show's main attraction is the protagonist: he is very heroic.
However, I am sad to report that the most recent episode has killed, for me, any interest in watching further.
Why?
Bad writing. I HATE it when a character is killed without need. So many other people make it through terrible circumstances on the show and they decide to kill a particular character for dramatic effect. Very immature writing.
Who got 'Jacked?' Jack got 'Jacked'.
This is the last season and I guess they want to go off on a sour note. Jack has always been a tragic hero and I thought for one moment they would let him be happy. Guess not.

I am very sad about this, too. It sucks. Jack deserves to be happy. I don't think it had to go that way... I could see adding some drama by having her be shot and then they run away together... but seriously... she died? I am so sad. BAD writers, BAD!
ReplyDeleteI've always called it lazy writing in that the writers want a certain affect/effect so they "make it happen." After awhile the fact that anyone Jack loved seemed to get bumped off or turned into a villain got to me. I'm sorry they are ending the show this way. Makes you wonder if someone's puppy died, or just why the writer wants everyone else to be as unhappy as they are...
