Call me a typical boy or whatnot if you want, but it's true. For me, the appealing part is the mystery and the tech. These little soap opera episodic sagas need to stop in my opinion. (Greg's mobbing / excused manslaughter / private court case stuff = cheap ratings through race baiting, department politics, etc.) By the way, it is official: this season of <em>24</em> really sucked. It just didn't live up to the past seasons. Maybe they wanted to make next season look more exciting by retro-comparison. I dunno. What I do know is that I was royally disappointed. (I have the same problem with this show - little side stories got LAME this season - drunken recovering alcoholic Morris? Who cares?! A NUCLEAR BOMB WENT OFF. Ha ha. I mean, seriously, though.) They need to stick to the mystery, to the action, and to the stuff that made their shows great in the first place. :-) I don’t really care about the love interest stuff.

I'm in a position where I could be turned off the show, or be perfectly happy. I think I read somewhere that we haven't seen the last of Natalie... glad you caught up on things though. yes. yes I am frustrated–but not necessarily with the ending per se…more with what the possibility of next season’s opener could be.

I never thought I’d be such an advocate of a show that promotes a catch phrase like, “save the cheerleader, save the world,” but “This is how we roll”

I just posted about my new <em>Friends</em> friend. I have no clue and have heard nothing about Kochi, though. Just so you know. Scott, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm really proud of you guys. What are your plans now? Yeah...loads of people are addicted to <em>Heroes</em> now. Craziness, indeed. :-) Nikki – nice Friends reference, there. I just posted about my new Friends friend.

I was into it back in the 2nd season (senior year of HS) but got out of it when Furman craziness started. But I recently caught up on the 3rd, 4th and 5th season just before the 6th season started. I've also gotten into watching Heroes... I started watching that right after my last final (I know Emily Bucharati is obsessed with it, dunno, Kathy might be too). BTW, I'm now a college graduate! :-D Pics areup on facebook. Heh, I got back into 24 this past year thanks to my roomates.

Possibly. Supposebly? Did I just say supposebly? "Did they go to the zoo?... supposebly..." However, if it's raining then I won't be going. Still waiting on details however.
