Season 5 of 24 - Winding down...
What's been a solid season, compared to the 3 of the 4 previous I have seen before, is winding down.
Tonight, however, for the first time this year, suffered a bit from some of the logistical issues that the middle of last year (Airforce 1 going down) suffered through.
Plus, seems like they are rushing a fair number of twists and turns..which are fine, but they aren't playing out with the same amount of time (and impact) as twists earlier in the season.
The biggest issue I had tonight was the Russian Sub angle. Why is a sub with a fully stocked and armed missle bay, sitting in a non-guarded, non-military dock in the middle of a LA harbour? You can't get within 3km of unarmed US Subs on Vancouver Island, who are there for deep sea training exercises.
Nevermind that the American Navy on boat got there quick..as part of the treaty that the president signed a mere 20 hours earlier. International politics doesn't work that quickly.
But, the 2 hr season finale was phenomenal last year, and has been for most of the other 3 seasons I saw, and I expect this season to be the same from the clips shown.
