Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spoilers for any and all currently running TV shows. All hardcore spoilage, all the time. No white font.
Principal McHottie is now President McHottie
Do they explain how the heck this came to be? And is it a non-lame explanation?
Once a Lost Boy, always a Lost Boy...
Ah hahahahahahahahaha!!!!
I'm beginning to think that Jack Bauer's life is actually crappier than Frodo's.
He certainly has a much worse track record of saving his nearest and dearest.

No explanation -- it's 2 years after the end of last season, so presumably there was an election. (I guess the American people decided that after President McReallyEvil, they'd be better off sticking with the Palmer family.)
There's also a Palmer sister who for some reason was never mentioned before, but is now a lawyer for some Islamic-American rights organization.
And a very touching scene in the second ep where Jack tries to torture a suspect for information, gives up when he decides that he won't get anything, and then when the suspect cracks under just a little more torture from the ex-terrorist who Jack is now helping to escape, Jack makes a sad face and says "I don't know how to do this anymore." Poor Jack!
That is hilarious!

Buck up, Jack. You've got 22 more hours to get your torture legs back.
I predict that Jack's tragic inability to properly stab people with electrodes will last about as long as his heroin withdrawal.
I think one of the things I love about 24 is that it has no shame about leaping headlong in to absurdly silly territory, and can keep a straight face while doing it.
Did Fury write this, do you know?
Losing a body part seems an odd choice, since they'll have to make sure Jack has only nine visible fingers for however long the show lasts, unless they come up with a magic robotic finger.
unless they come up with a magic robotic finger
They could get him a Sixfinger. The commercials made it seem like it'd be the perfect accessory for an operative like Jack.
(Now I need to disentangle my brain from the Sixfinger jingle earworm.)
Maybe he just grows it back with his mutant healing abilities.
I mean, come on - given all the damage that's been inflicted on Jack he MUST be a mutant. It would explain the two hour heroin withdrawl.
