Anyone else hooked on this one?  If not, you can watch them online.

Yes.  Big time.  Just got through watching the latest online.

I watched the latest one last night because I needed something to wind down to after a very long and stressful day.  It did not help.  It was good, but tense.

Well, something different needs to happen real soon.  Otherwise, it's turning out to be no different than any of the other 147 post-nuke stories on TV over the years.  Maybe Jack Bauer will make a guest appearance.

It's my favorite show right now. 

I'm surprised those guys from the private security outfit haven't returned since being backed down on the bridge.  My only guess is that it is being treated that they are renegade and have no backup other than what they came with the first time and that there are other towns that are easier pickins.

One other thing that doesn't add up is that the kid who inherited the grocery store after the owner was murdered was essentially ignored and dismissed by the new mayor when he reported that the bad guy was trying to put the squeeze on him.  Good shot, kid!  Right below the sternum.

I knew the punk was getting shot, but I was sure surprised when the camera turned.  One thing I don't get about the whole store thing--why on earth has the place not had guards at the entrances the entire time?

My guess is that they never had to have them before.  They are still in a management by crisis mode.
