I just sat through yet another disappointing episode of my (I guess I must say: former) favourite tv series, 24. I used to watch it with excitement, now it is more out of a feeling of duty. Now matter how much money you can throw at a production, it will not suceed if the fault is at the writing stage.
On the other end of the spectrum, last weekend I got to see the extra material of the new Pink Panther film. I can only recommend watching the DVD with the director’s comments. (Obviously, enjoy the show first with the ‘proper’ audio.) Very insightful, full of advice, gems, and genuine tips. Amazing director. And excellent written script (and only one minor explosion, which was added as an afterthough; 24 writers, note: explosions do not make up for lack of content/research/characterization).

I LOVED the 24 episode which screened here last night. But, yeah, then Audrey called at the end, and now I’m afraid it’s going to go further downhill up to the finale.
:sadface:

Haven’t read it – you have to subscribe first… But is it the article about “24 running out of time?”
The episonde you’ve seen was one of the few good ones of this season.

Yup, it’s the same article. And … damn. There’s always the movie, though.
