24 has a McCarthy villain?! C'mon.

This season of 24 just annoys the heck out of me, and that was before I saw and heard that the new bad guys include an Englishman(!) named Darren McCarthy. Ugh. From the nuclear blast to Bauer's family, it's all just a bit too hokey -- even for a series that has embraced hokey and then some over the years. Prison Break almost seems logical, by comparison. OK. Maybe not. But still. I'm just not feeling 24 this year. Still watching. But they better turn this frown upside down in the next week or two.
