JACK IS BACK!In just seven days, Jack Bauer and all the guys and gals at CTU will once again be faced with a situation where they’ll get to do a lot of cool things like:
Kill people. A lot of people.
Start and end some kind of love affair
Endure family crisis while taking time out to save the planet
Did I mention that a lot of people are going to die?
All of this in the space of 24 hours.
Those of you who regularly visit here know that I NEVER do any posts about ANYTHING on TV not related to politics. But “24″ is different. This is without a doubt, the most addictive show in the history of TV. Maybe it’s something they flash across the screen at a McLuhan like level, a la the flash images of popcorn that movie owners in the 1960’s would place within the body of a film to try and get moviegoers to head out to the lobby and buy some refreshments.
I’ll be blogging the series every morning after the previous evenings episode. We’ll try and keep track of the following:
1. Jack’s body count. There has never been such a murderous thug…albeit with a heart of gold…as Jack Bauer. He makes all Mafioso ever portrayed look like teenage interns at a Christian summer camp. But he’s all American…and he’s absolutely relentless in pursuit.
2. Plot twists. Who’s gonna be the mole? Which bad guy is really working for CTU? How is Jack gonna get out of THIS one? Join the fun…and the speculation!
3. Inconsistencies. Try as they might, the screenwriters always manage to have several inconsistencies in the plot, the storyline, or the characters. We’ll highlight them as they come along.
4. Did I mention Jack’s body count?
Bookmark this site! And come along for the ride! I’ll be looking for other “24″ sites as the season progresses. And if you’re gonna be blogging “24″ let me know.
