More crack in DVD format

mousmeSo I watched the first episode and a half of Season 2. The half because I had a time constraint and had to leave. I'm impressed by my own self-control.
My first thought:
Is every season going to start with Jack shooting someone important?
After that, things go as usual. Jack gets thumped but good by the bad guys, and they don't even know he's not on their side yet.
Palmer's back! Yay! Just as uncompromising as usual. Can't wait to see how he gets his arm twisted this time.
I notice that Mason is still in Jack's office. Palmer obviously knows that I love Mason and want him to have lots of screen time, so he hasn't given him the job he promised. I suspect Mason is going to feel very put-upon by the time this season is over.
The wife-beater clearly has no idea with whom he's tangling. Seriously, this girl escaped from terrorists something like four separate times last year. Unless, by some really annoying and contrived plot twist, he is a terrorist himself, he doesn't stand a chance. I don't want him to be a terrorist. It would seriously shake my faith in the show.
All the blonde women in this show apart from the daughter are interchangeable. I hope I'll be able to tell them apart after a few episodes, because that's really annoying.
I love the music in this show, and the lighting and the camera angles. I kept admiring them in the last season, especially the more claustrophobic scenes. The one in which the cop dies, especially. Err, sorry, the black female cop (I remember that more than one cop dies in the line of duty). Normally I get swept along by the story, and if I'm paying attention to technical details it's because I'm bored, yet this time I was engaged and interested by the technical stuff. Must be t!'s influence.
Jack is screwed, and we're not even two hours in. Beautiful.

I would have to agree with you on that one.

The two sisters develop a few quirks that really let you distinguish between the two.

No, not really. I can tell a trend-setter when I see one. ;)
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.
