24

I seriously f**king love this show. I started watching it around the 5th season with my parents, and we were all three of us hooked. It gradually became a thing for the three of us- for that hour, at least, we could all agree on something.


Now with my Netflix account, all the episodes are on instant streaming (this is also why the Russians are winning) so I decided to go back and watch the seasons in order--after all, I haven't seen the first few, and I think the later ones would make way more sense if I fully know the backstory!


I watched season 1 in about a week. Seriously, it's that bad. I won't let myself start season 2 yet, or at least til Midterms are over and I have a job. IT IS MY CRACK.


I also love all the 'culture' that's sprung up because of it. The Jack Bauer jokes (Chuck Norris checks his closet for Jack Bauer when he goes to sleep) and this, mostly (I love that, it's hilarious).

(Jack waiting for a terrorist at the San Diego zoo).



The commentaries that run between my friends and I on the episodes are great, too.

"If you are female, and know or have any connection to Jack Bauer, you are going to die."

"Also, if you even pass Kim Bauer on the street you are going to die."

"Tony's such a nice guy. Too bad he turns out to be a terrorist."





My grades are nuked.
