Captivity!

Day 3 5:00pm-9:00pm

So after the second disc of the show I still really like it. I'm amazed at how quickly things seem to happen. I also feel a little weird about the number of times Jack appears to switch sides. How does anyone ever trust him at all? And for that matter, how does any character manage to trust any other character? They all seem to be doing random things secretly for random reasons all the time. It's very strange. I'm not sure it's the kind of show I would have been able to watch on a weekly basis as it aired. Even though things seem to move quickly, the individual episodes also seem to feel kind of like nothing happens. It's weird.

I still don't understand why the storyline about the President, his girlfriend, and his brother is important, and I'm still not finding it particularly interesting. It does crack me up that the President's brother is DB Woodside. All I can think is Robin Wood!

I realized the other day that Elisha Cuthbert is still on the show. I had no idea. I actually looked at imdb and saw that a whole lot of people have been on from the beginning. For some reason it just seemed like a show that cycled through actor's who weren't Kiefer Sutherland or Mary Lynn Rajskub. Apparently I was wrong.

As for what actually happened in the episodes that I watched, I was amused that Kim got to be the one "held captive" by Gael. Obviously she was the victim a couple times in the first two seasons, so it's just funny that she's at CTU to be safe and she's still the victim. I hope she's still a victim all the time and it's a joke in the show. Although I guess there's a lot of people being held captive on this show so it might not come across as obvious that Kim is being held captive more than anyone else. It would also be amusing because Elisha Cuthbert was in the movie Captivity.
