Hi, I'm __insert CTU character name__: Wanna' Hump?
In several other message board/forum systems the question is being asked already:
"Did "24" SUCK this season? What do you think?"
My one-word answer for the description of this season in general is "disjointed."
Never before have we had so many different pieces floating around, that never come together to form something solid, and it has not only hurt the "show" but it's hurt the most important piece of what is 24 fandom - the viewers. Only a few shows have the "honor" of being on the top 20 all of their run on television, and last week? You guessed it:
24 wasn't even on the Top 20 shows last week.
You have to write smarter, you have to write with respect to the viewers and my most vital survival comment this week on our 2GuysTalking: 24 Podcast:
24 MUST find a way to write for us, more intelligently, in a way that takes out the hallmark "SOAP OPERA-esque" crap out of it. There has to be smart writing that allows our characters to interact without thinking that they all want to go into a corner and hump or be jealous that someone else is doing the same thing every time we see them. it's sickening and MUST STOP for 24 to survive.
What do YOU think? Are you ready for some smart, intelligent, engaging writing? I know I am.
