Dear 24:
When we first met in 2001, you were perfect for me. You were exciting, and dangerous, and knew how to show a lady a good time. But lately, the relationship has lost its luster. I know that this is the natural progression of any relationship, you can’t possibly keep up that same level of intrigue for all these years. After the seven year itch, I settled into a comfort with your familiarity. I looked forward to spending time with you every Monday night.
But you just had to go and ruin things with all these other women. Rene and Dana ring a bell? Heck, I’ve even got a bone to pick with Chloe this season. I can’t deal with all these other women, and here is why I quit you, mid-episode last Monday, for good. Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution.
Sad/Bad/Mad Rene. Actually I really like Rene, and I adore Annie Wersching in the role, but there are so many inconsistencies with her character this season, and her spunk has been replaced with this misguided self–loathing. Quite frankly, making Rene’s character into such a drag has really been a drag on the show.
I also can’t quite figure out the chronology of Rene’s storyline, which is really not helping the credibility of her story arc. Readers, perhaps you can enlighten me here. Weren’t we told that six years ago Rene went undercover with the Russian gang? Wouldn’t that make it pre-season 7, in which she was still in uptight prissy mode? Since President Allison Taylor is still in office, I am assuming this season did not skip forward 10 years because of Presidential term limits.
