24: Redemption

[bhsup]

So who all watched it last night? What do you think? It apparently sets the stage for season 7 that starts in January.

(For those of you in the UK, it broadcasts tonight on Sky. Australia on December 5th on Seven)

Spoiler :

Sad to see the CTU go, but I guess a change of pace won't be bad. His daughter was mentioned, so that brings up the distasteful possibility of her being in season 7, which sucks.

Bauer is apparently coming back to America to possibly stand trial (bastards!) for things he did in season 6. I cannot fathom that and only hope he beats the crap out of a few Congressmen and Senators.

Anyhoo, I thought the movie overall was pretty good. Disturbing to see kids being soldiers, but that's the reality. Also gratifying to see the show really put the spotlight on our unforgivable position regarding intervention in African bloodbaths.

For those who have missed 24 and Jack, I leave you with this!

24 Reasons Why Jack Bauer rules

1. Jack makes carrying a purse masculine.
2. He gets perfect cell phone reception, regardless of his location.
3. He's tough enough to withstand torture, but isn't ashamed to cry.
4. He gave Cheng the silent treatment for 2 years.
5. Jack can fly a plane and a helicopter.
6. Jack doesn't care what other people think of him.
7. Jack Bauer is always right.
8. He got Erin Driscoll to listen to him eventually.
9. He pulled the trigger on Chase. Talk about dedication to his work.
10. Despite suffering from Herion withdrawl, he was able to break Ramon Salazaar out of prison.
11. He broke Ramon out of prison in less than an hour. It took Michael Scofield a whole season to break out of Fox River.
12. Hacksaw.
13. He doesn't always listen to orders, because he knows he's right.
14. Jack hurt that annoying scumbag Joe Prado.
15. He killed the whole Drazen gang by himself.
16. He figured out to look up presumed dead people in order to find Saunders.
17. He can hold his breath forever.
18. His magic hoodie is very impressive.
19. Straight men have crushes on him.
20. He can kill people without using his hands or legs.
21. He asked for forgiveness before killing Chapelle.
22. He's "died" twice and yet seems to be in great health.
23. He trusted George to take the plane down.
24. Despite saving millions of people over and over again, has never asked for a thank you!

You know I wonder, if in some futuristic Grand Manner art genre, they will depict people like Jack Bauer and Samwise Gamgee, rather than Germanicus or General Wolfe.

He also promotes torture.
