24 Cancelled

So of course, as soon as I finally like an episode of this season and post a blog praising it for finally something interesting happening, five days later it's canceled.

Goodbye 24.

Now, they're talking about doing a movie.  Okay fine. But let me tell you why no one is really outraged about the cancellation.

1) 8 years is a great run for any tv show.  So bravo.

2) It's been sucking since they got rid of CTU and made Tony evil.  It still had a chance after they killed Palmer only because Logan was freaking insane.  I love watching that guy.  He was terrific he was always panicking and...those were great times.

3) That season when Jack got that disease, it was uneventful because everyone, EVERYONE knew that he wasn't going to die so why are we watching this?



This season has been a bunch of nothing, the only exciting episode was when the President's daughter was being kidnapped by Terrorist Tarin and she had no idea and then that emp went off.  I thought that meant the second half of the season would be better but no...not after last night's episode.  I don't even care about the mole, it wasn't a shocker since I was already looking for the mole and I knew it was either the very nosy, Arlo or Dana.  So no one I know was all, oh my God!

Let's see, let's pull Jack OFF of finding the terrorists to ESCORT, heh, ok.  Escort the guy off the premises...okay fine.  And now the crazy lady is back with him, Renee.

And what's with 24 and the pills?  This guy has a heart attack just standing there.  I'm not a medical expert so I'm really asking, do you get a heart attack just talking??



And a little nod for having Michael Irby as the elite task force to kidnap the President.  Real cute 24 producers.  I miss The Unit.

#AHS: Cult - Still No Cult

Image
I know.  I know.  There's only been two episodes and I'm already pretty annoyed with American Horror Story.  Here are some suggestions as to what I would do. 1. Two-hour premiere for the first night if things are going to be this slow.  Or back to back night premieres.  Yes, we've had two gruesome deaths but we're not sure what killed them or we're supposed to question ourselves as to who killed them. 2. Shorter seasons .  I'd be fine with a shorter season if it meant more action faster. I guess my millenial brain doesn't like the pace. So far Sarah Paulson is scared of stuff her wife doesn't see and Winter is a terrible baby sitter.  Yawn. This episode we pick up right where the last episode ended with Ally screaming.  Which is a good portion of the first episode.  And there's still no cult.  We knew who the Coven, the Freak Show, the Hotel, the Roanoke Nightmare, Asylum and Murder House were.  We knew where all of those things we

Friday Flick: Coherence

Image
This is one of my low key favorite movies.  I say low key because it was rough, rough around the edges, it may be more enjoyable as a short story.  But the fact that it was low budget was a plus in my opinion because it forces the cast and crew to be more creative and not go for the flashy-flashy.  You have you to be a master story teller to convey your vision with very little.  The story doesn't leave this one house which can come off as very hard do without making the story very stagnant. NOW, I will say there are some times where I think the story fell off for a little while but I think it was a story that had a clear middle and end and I like those kinds of stories. If you have read my earlier posts you'll know that I like stories that utilize the idea of multiverse theories.  That's why I liked Stranger Things SO much.  And it's also why I'm a little afraid of the Hadron Collider, but I digress. I think this movie was great because it wasn't just abou
