Kim Bauer is now, apparently, a fixture on the show 24 and this annoys me.

Mrs. Interested and I are watching 24 via Netflix and are almost half way through season three (we hadn’t watched the show before now). It’s a good show except for just a few annoyances. The foremost is Kim Bauer. She is very reliable in one area – she can be relied upon to make the absolute worst decision possible, every single time. It’s so predictable and infuriating. I hate Kim Bauer.

Everybody at CTU has serious communication issues as well. I haven’t been keeping track of how many times serious problems could be averted if somebody simply spoke up and offered information at a meeting instead of keeping information back – but no, cooperation and collaboration isn’t the way of CTU. Lame.

Also, and this is really bothering me a lot, the cell phone tracking that they do on 24 is really starting to bother me a lot. They agents at CTU can seriously get video feeds from the operating rooms of local hospitals but they can’t get a trace on a cell phone given plenty of time and preparation. GAH! What are our tax dollars being spent on?!

Oh, and I think I’m going to be supremely annoyed by Chloe. She’s just a space case and totally doesn’t fit in with the crowd at CTU.
