Sorry for the lack of activity here over the last couple of weeks. Honestly, there has been nothing to report except more articles about 24’s failure to bring back Tony and Michelle as series regulars next season, and frankly, I’m sick of talking about it, I don’t wanna talk about it, think about it or read about it anymore. I would rather just live in denial and let the chips fall where they may in s4. Regarding reports that s4 will be the final season of 24, I have mixed thoughts. It is always better to go out while you are still new, good and fresh. If, as has been reported, the majority of the characters we have come to know and love over the last 3 years will not be playing pivotal roles (or roles at all) in season 4, then I think it is probably the right decision to end the show, rather than ending up like the Practice, which ran three seasons too long and in the end reduced a once-quality legal drama to a steaming pile of glorified soap-opera crap (with really shitty acting and ridiculous storylines featuring characters no one gave a fuck about – seriously, was James Spader on crack?). I would rather see the show go out with its integrity intact. I just don’t know how that can happen with the show’s pillar of integrity, Tony Almeida, out of the picture.
