Re: 24 to return!
I feel like it's a pretty average show but as far as 24 goes it's definitely last for me. I actually may have placed it before Day Six which I'd have dead last before Legacy started, but the shaky cam and small jarring nonsensical changes in focal length/zoom really drive me fucking nuts. It just looks like some high schoolers are behind the camera trying to make it look edgy to cover up where it isn't edgy at all and it fails miserably.
Two eps ago when the van first drives onto the bridge there was an overhead shot that just looked so good, not shaky or wobbly, not indecisive on the zoom length...it actually looked like a professionally filmed show for a second. On the news screens showing the explosion, even the far off one is shaking around, it wouldn't! Jesus even the people running from the towers falling on 9/11 was less shaky than this show and that's pretty pathetic.
I'm continuing to watch because it's only 12 eps, I would have stopped by now if it was 24.
Also, Carlos Bernard has still got it. Tony Almeida spin off, no shaky cam, would be sweet.
