Fox is so excited about tonight's episode of 24 (or so bored with the rest of their schedule, or scared of the NCAA tournament's last game) that they're rerunning it twice this week, on Friday and Sunday at 9!
Hopefully it will be a good one.
After an exceptional start the show has found itself in something of a lull lately. The Araz family storyline is essentially over, with a notable exception (poor, poor Behrooz!), and the show has seemingly ditched the fresh start sensibility that gave it such a kick early on.
Now that Tony, Michelle and Chloe are all back at CTU (and David Palmer due to arrive any time now) it's starting to feel like season three all over again. Except, of course, Michelle isn't facing possible death and shooting hostile hotel guests, she's just walking around with long straight hair trying to annoy Tony, who was most interesting a few hours ago when he was a lazy drunk with a bratty girlfriend. And Audrey has yet to prove herself any more interesting than Jack's past useless love interests. At least Chase is nowhere to be seen and we haven't had a repeat of last year's baby hijinks (although Erin's mentally ill daughter came close).
The good news is the show usually pulls itself out of these dramatic valleys. Maybe tonight will be the night.
