24

I'm usually not a big tv fan. In fact, I go out of my way NOT to watch tv, but 24 is just one of those shows that is hard to pass by. If you've never heard of it, but are interested, you are sadly too late. Tonight was the final episode of the series. And boy was it a good one. This is sort of the ending that you hope for -- good guy wins, bad guy loses, all is right in the world.

Now, of course it really isn't that simple. The good guy had to go on a killing spree to win, which makes him guilty of murder (as well as breaking federal laws), and the other good guy (or gal) had to face her darkest times and see the light right at the end, but still has to pay some mighty consequences.

If you're a fan of the show, I won't spoil it for you. But boy do I want to :]

It's shows like this that make me proud to be an American and gives me hope for mankind. It's that kind of show that makes you think "What would I do in the same situation?". I know it made me think long and hard. It also does a great job showing how one lie can lead to another, which can lead to another, which can lead to another, and before you know it you're buried under your own deceit. Not a fun place to be.

Now, is everything in this show realistic? Not really. It seems highly unlikely that Jack could forsee half of what he does, and he comes up with his plans way too easily. It does make for fantastic entertainment, though.

If you're interested, look it up. I can't say enough positive things about it.

P.S. They have a movie slated to begin production in early 2011, so 24 fans, it ain't over yet!
