I think now that I know where they are going with it, the rewatch might change my mind on my discontent with the pacing toward the end of the season. Because the pacing of the first 18 eps was AMAZINGLY good, but something needed tweaking in the last 6 and I just haven't been able to put my finger on it. Mainlining the season should help me figure it out.
And I'm not angry about the Tony development, I'm just not sure about the presentation, if that makes any sense. I agree that it was deliberate, I just wonder if it was the right choice. Because there's teasing the audience and straight up testing their patience because they give us nothing to chew on while we freak out. Right now I'm sort of on the fence, because it felt like too much- between the Olivia crisis and the Tony reveal plus the Kim escape and Jack rescue and then resolution of everything else.
Again, maybe if they moved the Olivia crisis and addressed that BEFORE the finale (much like the Sherry/Nicole/Keith stuff in S1 was mostly resolved before the finale), it might have been more manageable. Then we wouldn't be so restless and feel like the Taylor storyline took away from the momentum of the Jack-centric storylines.
Haha, yes. I never liked Kim all that much, but I never hated her either so I guess, I'm happy for you? LOL. This is why I don't take sides in fandom squee/bashing. I just like what I like and try not to harsh on other people's squee.
MMM. Renee is totally my new favorite character, and I have to watch S1-S3 to see how she holds up against Michelle, who long held my favorite in 24. (Full confession, I loved Tony and Jack, but when Michelle showed up, I always liked her the best, just thismuch. It's part of why I wasn't as interested in S5 and DEFINITELY in S6.) Renee totally saved the season for me and made me love 24 again in that obsessive icon-making, fic writing, episode reaction essay writing kind of way. And like, it's in FULL force, because I've made a TON of icons this season. Hehe.
