Improved writing

No, not my writing, believe me. Improved writing on the shows 24 and Lost this year.
 
24 in particular is MUCH improved over last year. I haven't seen yesterday's episode yet, but in the previous episode there were some excellent scenes. Specifically, the back-and-forth between Jon Voight and Hank from Twin Peaks about Starkwood's involvement, and the scene where Tony tells Jack that the guard "was dead the second he stepped out of that door." It's just as unbelievable as ever, but the writing is what is keeping me coming back.

And the last episode of Lost ("He's Our You") was quite good as well, with Sayid dead-panning the line "A twelve-year-old Ben Linus just brought me a chicken salad sandwich," and with Hurley winking to the audience with a line saying something like "I mean, anyone could see that one coming."

I also liked where one of the Dharma Initiative members threatened to "call Ann Arbor" if they didn't resolve the Sayid problem. Whoa, shout out to Ann Arbor!
