24 was a so- so show. I like a number of the cast members from their past work, but the storyline was somewhat weak. We'll see how they do next week.

Particularly bothersome, though, was a chat between two characters.

Jack: Jamie. If I give you a phone number, could you hack in and get all the Internet passwords connected to it?
Jamie: Sure, if you have a warrant.

Y'know.. Once upon a time, a scene like that would've been amusing and silly. A fantasy of technology made up by Hollywood, something they're fairly good at.

Now, however, it's not rea lly all that funny.
