Twenty four? But there’s so much more…

Posted on May 23, 2007 by JJH

So, I’m finally done with 24. Mercifully, the end came last night. No, it’s not what you’re thinking. The season finale itself didn’t push me over the cliff (How apropos. Oh, shit, that’s a spoiler!) but the entire sixth season … Continue reading →
