Portugal. We've gone through four seasons of "Buffy" by now you know.
I love that little twist that you have at the end of each episode so that it can keep going.
I've noticed that this has broken down pretty badly in the 2nd season; Jack going "this is far from over!" and someone shooting someone that it was very clear they were going to off ain't exactly in the same league as the final plot twists in the first season (including its last episode!)

Season three was better than two because it has some of the best twists the series has ever done. The whole thing from the very first episode just documents Jack Bauer's descent from a happy, successful family man into a bumbling, clueless idiot who's been let down by his colleagues and daughter. I like it for that.
I have great hopes for season four, even if they're bringing back some of the lamest characters and still setting the show in LA, even though they'd promised not to. Also, rumours are that this'll be the last season. Which is probably a good thing.

I liked this season a lot, on the whole; it was the best since the first one, certainly. The second half of it seems very very removed from the first half; I guess this is usually how it goes.

Also the Tony/Michelle romance was shit x 1000, and the ludicrous convolution of storylines to get all the old characters that weren't Kim/dead back in again was laughable.
I read a while back on imdb.com about a new character of Ryan Chapelle Jr in season 5, but that seems to have been one of their "jokes". Though in 24-land, anything is possible.

Personally I find this a bit disappointing - I was hoping it would be about Jack escaping from the Chinese as a bit of a change of tack, instead it seems that it will be terror threat in LA, business as usual, ho-hum. I'm sure I will lap it up regardless.
