Last week there was the best “Scenes from next week” preview in 8 seasons. Not sure why it took them so long. I’m not sure why I’m still watching. News came this week that the show was getting canceled. One can only hope it gets canceled in the middle of this episode.

Sigh. I don’t know if this can go on. I say that, but I don’t know if I mean it.

I totally missed last week, and you know what? I don’t care. This season has been the worst of them all and it’s going on the same track as all the other seasons. I posit that that I can start watching this week and it won’t be a big deal. Apparently, Jack Bauer killed some peeps last week. Anyone know how many?

I’ve been ambivalent about a TV show before, so I know how ambivalence feels. This is not ambivalence. This is disdain. I’m probably going to miss the show next week and I don’t care. I may or may not watch it later in the week. Who knows? I hope 24 is better tonight, but I bet it won’t be.

Last week was a snoozer, hopefully we’ll get something better tonight. Actually, I have little faith I’ll be at all interested this season. The story arc is set (4 more hours until a showdown at the pier, where disaster will be narrowly averted, at which point a bigger threat will be identified). Remember a couple seasons ago when they set off the nuke in California? That’s the last time 24 surprised me, though I suppose the attack on the White House was unexpected. But only because it was so far out of the realm of possibility as to be absurd.

Looks like we’re headed to another long season of predictable and underwhelming drama with brief moments of impossible to believe stupidity. Jack Bauer has 3 JBKCs this season, will he go for a couple more tonight?

This 24 Tag will take you to ALL of the ‘24′ related content on Unlikelywords. I count the number of people Jack Bauer knocks down (JBKCs), and this year, I’ll also be counting the number of times someone says, damn it. (If I remember.) As always, let me know what you think in the comments!

I can’t remember if I said it last year, but I think one of my 3 FAVORITE things on the internet every year is the Feltron Annual. The 2009 edition has just been released. This year, Felton looked outward to compile his data and used reported interactions from people with whom he had a meaningful interaction. Lovely, as always, though the data was more interesting in years past.

Let’s give this another shot, shall we? I wasn’t wowed by 24 last night, and the 24 Live Blog ran into some technical difficulties and was largely unavailable during the first hour. Hopefully we can avoid that tonight and just have some fun. Ugh. As if watching 24 is fun.

This is a bit old, but apparently there is a passive aggressive war going on in Brooklyn. Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn got the city to paint over bike lanes in on certain streets in their neighborhoods and hipsters repainted the lines. The Hasidim say it’s a safety issue and the bikers ignore pedestrians and traffic laws, the hipsters say the Hasidim don’t like seeing women in shorts. Objectively, I think the Hasidim aren’t arguing in good faith. The way you get bikers to follow traffic laws is to get the cops to enforce them, not by making the roadways less safe for bikers. Apparently, the hipsters had a naked bike ride planned to further antagonize the situation, but a recent blizzard forced them to bundle up some. Oy.

forgetters were supposed to record a 7″ in October, but for those of you who can’t wait for it to come out, I found this recording on the Twitter of forgetters at Lit Lounge on 9/19/09 might be able to tide you over. It’s 7 songs in a tight 23 minutes, and it sounds pretty good (better than the Thorns of Life Gilman St bootleg). Unfortunately, I don’t know the music well enough to provide a track listing, and and more unfortunately, this is all 1 MP3 track.
Although there’s some song overlap, I like forgetters better than Thorns of Life, so there.

forgetters, Lit Lounge, 9/19/09

(I’d like to give credit to they that recorded this. If it’s you, let me know.)
