How Fox Messed Up '24' For Me

I am only two episodes into the new appreciated season of 24. I love the show because anyone can do anything at anytime and there doesn't have to be any logic involved. So many coincidences or last minute saves or changes in loyalties and enough dumb decision to make the whole thing spin like one giant improbable clock.

All week I have thought about how annoyed I am about having to wait a whole SEVEN days to watch the next episode. I would save up all twelve and binge watch but I don't think I should have to wait until July to see the entire season that way.

So I wonder why FOX didn't pull a NETFLIX and release the whole series over 12 consecutive days or release all at once. Do something different with a property that was built and designed to be binged watched even from it's initial inception. Try it yourself. Watch a whole season of 24 at once and try not to stop at just one episode. It can't be done.

So I suffer with the piddly 40 minutes they were serve me up tonight. Once gain FOX proves to me that they hate television viewers almost as much as their News division hates blacks and other associated people of color.

Fox News division doesn't hate blacks you moron. Your leftie insanity just stopped me from clicking on your site ever again.

I prefer my 24 in small, weekly chunks. It's an event that I can look forward to, wonder about, and trying to outguess before the next installment.

Binge watching past seasons just highlights those coincidences and dumb decisions you mentioned, stretching my disbelief a little bit too far. That weekly distance, for me at least, is necessary to keep it tense rather than comic.

That actually does make sense. Binge watching just exposes CTU as the LEAST SECURE BUILDING IN THE USA. That place gets broken into and out of more often than a liquor store.

Come on, Cal... FOX News hates any one that's not rich and white.... Don't leave out all the other races.....

I thought 'assorted people of color' covered everyone that can tan in the sun without SPF 2000 sunscreen.
