Jack Bauer is pretty tough, but he's been dying all season. I don't want to see Jack Bauer dying. I want to see Jack Ryan bringing the hammer down on all the bad guys.
Sure, Jon Voight is always amusing, but every time I see him, I can’t help, but think how much more amusing it would be to see any five minutes of him in the same room with his daughter, Angelina Jolie. “I want my SOOOONNNNNNN, not my Dad!”
In fact, Jack Bauer should have been battling Angelina Jolie all over Africa this season. Had that happened, I wouldn’t be completely lost like I am this year with 24. If under penalty of death, I had to explain this year's plot, I think I’d be lucky if I was even able to remember the name of this year’s female President.
Despite seeing every single episode of 24 this season, to say that I’m lost would be a huge understatement. I just ignore most of it and wait for things to blow up, while I enjoy Aaron, the honorable secret service man, and Mary Lynn Rasjkub’s Chloe.
I used to go to a lot of Los Angeles musician Jon Brion’s Friday night shows, when he was dating Mary Lynn. I saw her at a lot of these shows, and she was surprisingly sexy and could definitely drink. She also easily has the most difficult to pronounce last name I’ve ever encountered. I think it’s pronounced “rice-cub,” but I’m never completely comfortable with that.
Mary Lynn is great on 24. Chloe is very insensitive and Mary Lynn has completely convinced me that Chloe would do anything for Jack Bauer.
“Chloe, I need you to leave your husband and abandon your child to live in my basement and make sure that my cable television continues to work.”
“You really need me to do this, Jack?”
“The entire stability of the United States depends on it, Chloe.”
“Well, in that case …”
6:01 A.M
Jack is dying, Kim is a hostage yet again, the President’s daughter is in huge legal trouble. Jack needs to free Tony from FBI custody, to save Kim.
The President is up and ready to start her day. If I was President, I’d start my day at noon.
“Apparently, some private military firms are trying to take over the Country.” Yawn.
Tony has looked very angry all year long. He should be happy that he’s still alive.

Damn that was nearly longer than the season dude. But I also have to admit I found a lot of it pretty funny. Speaking of which...
Did anyone besides me notice how much the evil guy with Jack's daughter in the airport looked like R.E.M.'s Peter Buck?
Maybe he's still pissed about getting busted for that drunk tirade on a plane a few years back.

Does that make Tony, Michael Stipe?

This season was a bit lame but no where as bad as season 6. That was the worst. Season 5 remains my favorite. Hope season 8 is much better. Hope the new President isn't as lame as this one and no way as boring as Wayne Palmer. They should have a Black or Asian women for President.
