Because Mary Lynn is awesome, a long way from 'It's Mr. Show with Bob and David!!!'

Ok I didn't see a season one thread link, and I just finished it on Netflix. So I'll discuss here.

Nina as the mole seemed retconned all to hell. I get that she didn't work directly for Gaines or even Drazen, but the video evidence of her killing Jamie ... in a room where they put Jamie specifically because there were no recording devices, seems pretty bullshit.

Does it bug anyone else that Chloe never blinks and never stops looking at the camera in that commercial?

Jeez... and I was so excited when they stopped making this show...

I think the 12 episode show is what they should have gone with a long time ago. Let's them cut out all the BS shows & focus more on what people wanted.... Jack kicking ass & shit blowing up.

This!

Long write-up: http://grantland.com/features/jack-in-the-box/

I'm amazed that I'm as excited about watching this as I am. The show really trailed off badly the last what - 2/3 seasons?

But I'm really digging the new shorter season. Cut out all the bullshit episodes and all you get is what everyone wants..... Jack kicking ass.

Im curious how they will handle the new format? Is the season still a 24 period? If so, do they stay consistent and each episode will leap ahead every 2 hours? Or do they remain off kilter and go from 6am, to 8am, to 9am, 12pm, etc......?
