Lightsabers and Lollipops

well, now that i've finished season 2 of the TV show 24 i've got someone else to add to my list of "dumbest fictional TV characters" list.

now for those of you who have seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back just imagine me imitating ben affleck when i say "fictional characters" while making the hand motions.

i'm not talking about real people, i'm talking about fake people that were designed and written to be "stoopid."

the best examples i could give you that pop into my head currently would be the reporter friend to sydney bristow from alias or any woman involved in tony soprano's life.

characters who can't seem to get a clue, or seem to get everything that's coming to them. just not quick enough. the kinda person who would run upstairs when the killer is downstairs... etc.

the one i'm gonna pick on today would be kim bauer.
she just seems to make the worst decisions every time she needs to make one.
not that i'm blasting the actress who plays her, elisha cuthbert. heaven knows, she's very easy on the eyes (insert tiger-like noise here). she certainly plays the damsel in distress quite well. but, man!!! she plays the kinda girl that makes you yell at your TV as if you can scream some sense into her.

once again, fictional (hand motions) characters...

anyway, enough of that. startin to get huffy.

i can't say i'm a big fan of the show 24 by the way. not a big fan at all. in fact, i think season 2 should have been named 15. got to the point without dragging it on and on and saved us all a heck of a lotta time.

i'm gonna give season 3 a chance. but if it's as predictable and sad as season 2, i'm giving it up for lent.



now kiss my grits! nooch!
