Gratuitous "24" Confession

After hemming and hawing about it, I confess I did not watch "24" last evening, thereby maintaining my perfect No Jack Bauer Sightings record.

Instead, I caught the opener of HBO's "Rome," which this season picks up on the politicking following immediately on the heals of Julius Caesar's assasination. I think I'm going to start watching this on a regular basis. True, it plays a bit fast and loose with some of the facts, and in its main character it presents a kind of vir in the via view of history, something for which I've never had much patience, but I like the overall feel of the thing.

I too have never watched an episode of 24. And, like you, I did watch Rome last night. I watched all of the first season of Rome in the past two weeks in the run-up to last night. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

That is SO calling out for a cross review.
