I watch the show because it keeps me entertained and because Jack Bauer is such a thoroughly entrancing character. It's far from perfect, but it makes me happy on a week to week basis. Sure, it's riddled with plot holes, but I can look past that in the interests of enjoying the ride. Every time Chloe makes a horribly inappropriate comment, I get a good smirk. Every time Jack and Audrey have a cute" moment I "awwwwwwww." Every time Jack does something badass and ridiculous or a tac-team bursts in to save the day I cheer. And every time a character I like dies I'm crushed (insofar as you ever get crushed about TV characters dying, so I'm exaggerating, sue me).
If you don't like it, don't watch it. I've never understood why people have such a fascination with continuing to watch/listen to/play/read media they don't like just to complain about how much they didn't like it after the fact.
Tonight's episode saw the re-emergence of the Season 2 slow to appear big conspiracy that's behind everything. That doesn't really bode well, since the season 2 conspiracy was kind of lame. Oh well, Jack stowing himself away in a plane that he doesn't know the destination of is pretty sweet, as were the tense interactions between Jack, Audrey and Christopher. Good stuff, good stuff. It's been a long week already and the episode put a smile on my face. Yay for that.
