24 and the Big Bang Theory - Spoilers

After watching this weeks episodes of 24 and The Big Bang Theory I have to ask . . . WHAT THE FUCK????

In 24 Jack and Renee finally hooked up after an entire season of 'will they wont they' bullshit and less than 2 minutes after they hook up - Renee is shot and killed. Is there no justice for Jack Bauer, can they guy never catch a fucking break. Lets not forget that this is the final season of the show (unless it gets picked up on another network, but honestly even if it does - I can assure you that this is the last season I will ever watch). So given that the first season ended with the death of Jacks wife, is it too much to ask that he end the last season with someone still alive that he cares about? The writers of 24 should be shot, and I haven't even begun to discuss the absolute trash they are peddling as plot this season.

Now, onto The Big Bang Theory, different journey, same destination. After 2 seasons of 'will they wont they' bullshit - Leonard and Penny finally go together. The geek got the hot chick, I liked the message they were sending here. All was well with the world until I watched last nights episode, in which Penny fucking dumps the poor bastard, by walking out on him, in a bowling alley, in front of his friends, all because he told her that he loved her. Are the writers on this show injecting themsleves with the same shit the 24 writers are on, are they even fucking sharing needles? Once again I ask you - WHAT THE FUCK? The show works better when they are a couple, I honestly can't take another season of Leonard pining after Penny, or moping about and complaining because he isn't with Penny - enough already for fuck sake, I had to watch an entire season of that shit, just let the poor bastard be happy.

Which brings me quite conveniently to my closing point - attention writers, your characters dont have to be drowning in misery and dispair every second of every fucking episode. With 24 I could almost be convinced that it was appropriate because Jack is married to the job, and shouldn't as a result every be happy with anyone else, and it is a pretty dark show when all's said and done. So in that regard, okay, I may not like it, but I understand why Jack has to be shit on at the end of every episode. Big Bang Theory is a light hearted comedy, is it really so bad for the characters to actually be fucking happy - or at least content? The writers better have one hell of a fix planned for that one, because if this season ends and Leonard and Penny are still broken up, I may not be back for the next one.

(Well, those who know me probably know I said a similar thing about the previous season finale of Bones, and I still watch that so ... whatever, my point still stands, they need to fix that shit)
