Damn, I shouda skipped reading Mike's post...we DVR'd and haven't
seen Mon eve's show, yet.

I don't disagree that their segues aren't as smooth as usual, but it's hard
to have all action all the time, for this many seasons. My wonderment
is how they are gonna pump another 2 or 3 seasons of serial shows
out, since Jack supposedly signed on for 2-3 more years.

I like all the cast and I love to see the punques and turncoats get their
azzes kicked by Jack. I don't like that too many US citizens are crossing
over to the terrorist side for whatever reason(s). I suspect that is the writers'
fix/reaction to the Islamic community bitching about the profile
the show was depicting. Every group on the planet has a PC Beef these days...
however, HD DVR is a wonderful invention, imo.
