Silver Pwn’d

This post is primarily to get other people’s thoughts, rather than simply espousing my own.

As we he into 8 PM, we are more than halfway through was is drably shaping up to be the sixth season of 24. At this point, I am less than impressed overall. This is mainly due to the fact that this season has failed to illicit any kind of emotional reaction for me. It has all pretty much just been “blah.”

Certainly, there were things that I did not like, such as Graham being Jack’s brother, and Jack’s dad being bad. I mean seriously, what is that all about, and how does it make the show better given the context of what Jack Bauer is.

Quite typically, it is commonly thought that season 3 was the worst (granted in Jason’s backwards engineer thinking, 3 was the best, but I cannot even address that right now :wink: ), but the sixth season seems to be shaping up to take that stop over.

Here are a few tidbits as to why season 3 is better than season 6 so far

1. I hated the first half
2. The prison riot scene was classic 24.
3. No major Bauer bitch screwing everything up
4. The termination of Nina
5. Jack being Jack

Here are a few tidbits as to why season 6 is worse than season 3

1. Not enough Jack
2. Doesn’t “feel” like 24
3. Conspiracies
4. Another Palmer bites the dust
5. Silver Spoons

Here are the things that are nice about season 6

1. Perhaps the best camera shots of any of the seasons
2. Pump shotgun

Here are the things I am thankful for in season 6

1. No Audrey (yet)
2. A hot new CTU girl
3. Curtis dying for NOTHING

300

300

Last weekend, I went to go see 300 on the opening day at the local theater. It was decent.

As comes to be expected, a lot of people have numerous baseless problems with the film. I am seriously getting sick of people lashing out at anyone who says or does something that is not completely “inoffensive.”

300 is the result of Frank Miller’s a heavily stylized artist vision of the events that transpired. I highly doubt that he intended to offend the Iranians, or whomever directly (although there is no doubt that he knows that he offends people). He was not trying to be historically accurate, just to tell an interesting story is an interesting way.

And, of course this is an awful post. I am really getting rusty.

Now, if only they did not charge upwards of $130 a year to have a vanity plate, I would seriously consider getting this plate.
