I had always had the absurd Idea to watch an entire season on "24" in one sitting. So this weekend I decided to give it a shot. Now I'm sure that I'm far from the first person to do this. I did it with season one because I haven't seen it since it first aired.
I started at the same hour of the day that the season starts at 12 midnight. Now of course there are no commercials so it's only really like 18 hours or something like that. Save for a short break around 5:30am for short walk to Dunkin Donuts for a couple of large Ice coffees and some breakfast, I sat through all of them in a row.
It really did give me a much better sense of this all happening at frenetic pace in that type of time frame. I don't think you get that from watching it once a week.
What did I learn from this???
I'm a sad and lonely man.
