And so Main Plot #1 draws to a close, a move that very much harks back to the earlier -- better -- seasons of the show. It's rather odd, actually, feeling very much like a season finale by the closing minutes. The first few seasons can very much be split into two or three major plot arcs (while the last few degenerated into a raft of shorter ones we were meant to believe were part of One Big Bad Thing), but they always had a slight bit of overlap. Here, it basically stops... and then has a clear signal that Main Plot #2 is about to begin. Still, better that than the other.
24 may not be quite back to its very best with season seven, but it's certainly closer than it's been for a good while. Fingers crossed it keeps (or, rather, kept, as I'm a year later on this) it up.
