I am serious about this president business. I did not like Dennis Haysbert as David Palmer, I loathed Gregory Itzin as President Charles Logan and D.B. Woodside as the newly elected President Wayne Palmer is as unfortunate an event as there ever could be. Granted while I think the actors playing these presidents are less than impressive my biggest beef is with the shitty decisions they all tend to make. I am able suspend reasoning and logic and believe that all of this is happening in one day, but can we at least get a good President on television?

Aside from several slow spots in season six the other issue I have has to do with repercussions. Jack does some of the most heinous and unforgiveable things, things that no one would get away with, no matter who or what they are. I just know that you can't steal a piece of Russian technology that is trusted in the hands of the United States and just hand it over to the Chinese and get away with it. Sorry, at that point you are pretty much jail bait. "24" manages to sidestep this issue with one line, "I don't think I am in trouble considering the circumstances." That is not an exact quote, but really? Really Jack? You just handed over nuclear technology to one of Russia’s enemies. Then again, I haven't read the law lately, is there a distressed lover clause I don't know about?

This season set comes equipped with 24 episodes stretched across six discs along with audio commentaries on select episodes. The seventh disc is packed with special features including a commercial for the seventh season (is it even gonna happen?), extended and deleted scenes, a special effects make-up featurette, an interesting chat with the writers involving their politics and arguments, a feature on the opening bus bombing and a collection of webcasts and mobile device episodes. All the making-of crap aside though, the best of the bunch was a short called "Cameo" featuring Ricky Gervais as he plays a White House lackey urging President Palmer (D.B. Woodside) to call Jack. Woodside gets the payoff line saying, "Well fuck me, call him... I don't care." It is classic.

Season six of "24" has so many ups and downs I am not sure if I can recommend it. I know there were moments that I enjoyed, but for the most part I found myself hoping it would all end so I could get the review written and forget it.
