The following takes place between midnight and 1am
I finally succumbed to temptation and started downloading the second series of 24 under the thinly veiled excuse of plagarism research for a fic I'm writing (also because the best way to avoid spoilers is to watch stuff before anyone has the chance to spoil me). Watched the first six episodes this evening and am rather impressed. I won't discuss the plot, although much tallies with rumours I've heard. The only (minor) complaint would be the "how can the same shit happen to the same guy twice" syndrome (cf. Die Hard 2), but that's pretty much unavoidable given the show's premise, and there's plenty of new stuff going on. Plot bunny scoreline so far: one idea I was going to nick and twist the other way - until the show went the opposite way to how I expected, so it'll have to be a double twist (probably for the best), one idea 'inspired' which has no actual link to the show, and on idea I would have stolen if I hadn't already used it (why does that keep happening to me?) So far I'm slightly ahead on my predictions of what will happen next, and I think that's to the credit of the writers.
