24 is breaking my heart
First President Taylor goes over to the Dark Side, and now it's revealed that Russian President Suvarov himself- and not merely a renegade faction in his government- was responsible for the assassination of Kamistani President Hassan and the murder of Jack Bauer's girlfriend, Rene Walker. Two previously exemplary characters- beacons of rectitude, even, in an evil world- now turn out to be corrupt, or at least corruptible.
It's enough to make you lose your faith in the goodness of the writers. Disturbing, too, to see Jack willing to kill innocent Secret Service agents in order to pursue his vendetta against Logan and the conspirators.
Funniest line of the season: former President Logan, with Jack's automatic at his temple: "Ok. ok... I was involved in the cover-up. But not the conspiracy. Hey- I'm not the bad guy here!"
Next week's series finale should be a barnburner. Jack has gone so far over the line that it's hard to see how he can come back. Hopefully President Taylor, at least, can find her moral compass again.
