24

Monday Night
Fox Network

Welcome to another action packed season of the hit drama 24.

When last we saw Jack he had faked his own death in order to save the United States from lots of issues with the Government of China. What else can Jack endure? In the past Jack has been tortured, been a drug addict, and really died only to be recovered at the last second. His wife was raped and killed.

It’s not good to be friends with Jack either. Tony’s wife Michelle is killed and Tony is in the ICU. Former President Palmer is killed and Jack is framed for the shooting. So where has Jack been hiding since last we saw him? He has been shacking up with Diane at her place and working on oil rigs. Jack is one tough fella. Diane has a nosy, moody son named Derek. Derek follows Jack because he thinks Jack is lying to his mother. Derek is rewarded by being held hostage by terrorists at the airport. This is how day 5 starts for Jack.

Over the next few hours we discover that the Russian Terrorists are really after some Nerve Gas. I think this is just a diversion designed to take up CTU’s time while working on something else. Why? Because they found out about it to fast. It was too easy.

One thing that I find is getting old is using a mole inside either CTU or the White House.
This season we find a mole inside both places, and you know what, I knew it the first time I saw them. I knew the oily man Spenser Wolff that Chloe woke up with was a bad man as soon as I saw him. The same is true of Walt Cummings the Chief of Staff for limp lipped President Logan who is the reason Jack had to fake his own death in the first place.

I never liked Audrey, she wants Jack to conform. Audrey is uncomfortable with Jack doing the things Jack needs to do to get things done. True, Jack did order doctors to stop trying to save her ex-husband Paul in order to save a terrorist to get information that lead to the final resolution of Day 4, but Paul was a creep that needed killing anyway. Today, Audrey feels the need to call Jack while he is out trying to track down Nerve Gas to ask Jack if it is true that he still loves hes..

Jack listen up....

Ditch Audrey and go home with Diane. Diane can accept the man you are, and what you need to do. Audrey never will understand. Besides, Diane is a lot hotter.

So what will happen this season?
Who the hell knows, but that’s the fun with 24.
Is the Nerve Gas a diversion?
Could the Nerve Gas end up at the White House and kill President Logan... I’d like to see that.
When will Chloe shoot Edgar?
When will CTU start to do better background checks on agents?
Is the person behind chair his daughter Kim?
These and thousands of more questions will be asked and in true 24 style, only about half will get answered.

I will be there for every blasted second because unlike some other shows, I care what happens to Jack. The rest of the cast is cannon fodder.

And what about Scarecrow’s brain?
