24: Redemption not so redeeming

Did anyone else HATE the 24 premiere/movie/waste of time that aired on Sunday?

Not many people did.  Apparently it had heavy competition from the Colts-Chargers game on NBC and the American Music Awards on NBC.

If you missed it, you didn't miss much.  Here are my thoughts:

Africa looks a lot like the San Fernando Valley.

Jack gave a scarf that he bought for his daughter to a 10-year-old boy instead.  So is it a girl's scarf or a boy's scarf?  The kid sure loved it, enough to run back for it when he lost it and indirectly kill his own teacher.

There are moles and traitors everywhere...just like every other season of 24!

Jack didn't do anything very clever.  He shot some bad guys, lied to another guy (and killed him with his legs, which was pretty cool) and then took a bunch of kids on a field trip to the embassy.  That's it!

And the outgoing President said some creepy, mysterious things to the incoming President.  A thrilling scene.

I hope the new season doesn't suck like this movie did!  

Anyone disagree?
