Maybe they realized that the family thing was going south and changed their mind about a Jack-as-Josh's-father reveal.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-13060608292445044662018-07-06T18:57:48.736-04:002018-07-06T18:57:48.736-04:00I've made it clear in comments on other season...I've made it clear in comments on other season reviews that Day 6 is my least favorite season of 24, so I'll attempt to keep my thoughts brief:<br /><br />- While previous seasons pulled off some pretty ridiculous things, they did so by keeping one foot (or at least a few toes) planted in reality; Day 6 flat-out leaps across the line of credibility and never looks back. Right off the bat, Jack's return to duty is too much to believe. Yes, Jack is nigh superhuman, but even he seemed too spry for someone who just endured over a year of torture and imprisonment. Yes, it was badass when he bit that guy's throat out, but then he's right back into Jack mode with few lingering (physical) aftereffects.<br /><br />- While I liked that they followed up on Logan's shady advisor from Day 5, and I like Paul McCrane, and I thought it was clever that he was related to Jack, it all became too much to handle, especially when Philip got involved. 24 always had its soap opera elements, but this is the season where they were pushed to the forefront.<br /><br />- The idea that Wayne Palmer was President was also cool at first, but it quickly lost its luster; again, hard to believe that he could ascend that far, that fast, especially after he was present for a murder/suicide.<br /><br />- Also too hard to believe: that Jack had to shoot Curtis dead in that situation. Clearly just killing off a beloved character for shock value.<br /><br />- 24 didn't make many casting mistakes over its run; Ricky Schroeder was one of the biggest.<br /><br />- Oh hey, Dr. Bashir! Good to see you.<br /><br />- I really liked Nadia, it's a shame she was never brought back (though they never really did return to CTU LA, so maybe she's still working there).<br /><br />- It was good to see Milo back at CTU, and a real bummer when he took one to the head. Another unnecessary casualty.<br /><br />- Rena Sofer's eyes are luminous.<br /><br />- It's so obvious that Josh is Jack's son, he looks just like Kim!<br /><br />- The brief inclusion of the Logans seemed like a blatant attempt to cash in on the Emmy recognition from Day 5.<br /><br />- Of course Audrey has to return; at least she shows some effects from her Chinese imprisonment. Jack visit with her and run-in with Heller at the end of the finale were pretty poignant, and his feeling of utter despair by the cliff was powerful.<br /><br /><br />And that's that.WZILLA13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-16712920019355167722018-06-29T08:28:48.643-04:002018-06-29T08:28:48.643-04:00Mark, you're so right.
