Fox's 24 Season 8 Premiere

There isn't a whole lot to say about the 24 premiere. It was standard Jack Bauer saving the world while being misunderstood and impeded by red tape. This season starts with Jack about to leave NYC with Kim, her husband and their daughter to go back to live in LA. His packing is interupted when an old informant comes to him for help. The man has been shot by members of the seasons terrorist group and says he has information about the plot.

There are the usual demands for immunity in exchange for information, moles in organizations, bad guys holding innocent people hostage in exchange for help with their plot - nothing too new.

I am sure I'll catch the rest of the season but most likely on Hulu. I don't really feel compelled to watch something I can fairly easily predict and be bound to 9 o'clock on Monday nights. Reading a good book at that time is probably a better use of my time.

Hopefully this is the last season of 24. While the show has been pretty good throughout, it's getting a little ridiculous and hackneyed.
