Well, another 24 hours over with...

So, Jack saves the world again - and is it my imagination or was the bodycount even higher this series than the last? There was certainly lots of "hard bastard" Jack this time around - killing in cold blood as well as in self defense. And clearly, it doesn't really pay to be a friend of his - witness what happened to Tony and Michelle! I'm amazed Chloe made it to the end - but I'm glad - her snarkiness and general "don't fuck with me" attitude are fabulous.

It's all highly unbelieveable, and hugely entertaining. I thought the second and third seasons weren't all that great, but the last two have been fab. I gather there's another one on the way - which is good, but I have to wonder what else they can possibly find for Jack to do -once he's escaped from his latest predicament, of course!

Anyway, Jack gets the bad guys, snaps a guy's neck with his thighs (!) and then has to go after that weasel, Logan. Gotta hand it to the long suffering Martha, who I initially thought was a bit of a waste of space, but who I've really come to like over the weeks. Given the task of delaying Logan's departure on Marine One in the last ep, giving time to Jack to get on board, she has to ... use her feminine wiles to distract him. Poor woman! All I'm sayin' is that we're talking minutes here, OK? (Poor woman, again! *g*) - but boy, did she get her own back in the end!
Crappiest line of the finale goes to Audrey, though - "Jack... when I heard you kidnapped the president, I..." *snort*! So the music swells, the snogging commences, Jack goes off to take a phonecall from Kim... but, oh dear, gets the crap kicked out of him by a bunch of balaclava clad chinese guys!

Oh - what happened to Romano, by the way?

So, this begs the question - what am I going to get addicted to watch now? Doctor Who finishes next week, West Wing has finished (although we've got 5 episodes to go, here) - and I've lost track of Lost, House, WAT, CSI and Desperate Housewives this year (and I gave up on ER after Carter left!) because I've been so busy with work. I hear good things about the new Battlestar Galactica (and sadly, I'm old enough to remember the original series back in the early 80s!), S2 of which has just started on Sky One - but I didn't see the first series, and I'm one of those who has to see all or nothing! Hopefully, it'll air on one of the terrestrial channels soon and I can catch up. I'll have to rent some DVDs over the summer, maybe, although it's a bit early for most of these shows to be out. I need to catch up with the final third of the first series of Lost, but we're on S2 of House and DH, and those DVDs won't be out for a while, I think.

I'll have to find something to tide me over until Studio 60 starts in the Autumn.
Suggestions, anyone? :)
