Ah, the magic box has just reminded me that the season premiere of 24 begins this evening. I'm very excited. It's like hearing the first ratchety sounds of a roller coaster as it begins to pull you up the opening incline.
Spoilers from the commercial follow:
Seriously, look away or load another page is you don't want to read what happened in the preview commercial. I know some of you might be avoiding even the commercials...look at me lookin' out for you.
Okay, is everyone else cool? Cool.
The commercial shows Chloe calling our boy Jack on the phone (or whatever he's calling himself in his new undercover life...I'm hoping he's calling himself Jorge) and begging him to help her. She says something about how they're going to kill her and that she's the last one left.
Last one? As in, everyone else from CTU is dead? As in, Tony Almeda and Michelle are dead?
I remarked on how much that would suck, to have Tony and Michelle die offscreen like that, and the mister one-upped me.
"What if Tony's the bad guy?"
Oooh. Interesting.
The best moment last year was when it looked like Jack was effed and all we knew was that earlier he'd called someone for help but we didn't know who. Right when Jack's about to buy it, there's Tony, backlit like mad and lookin' badass with a gun in his hand.
That was so cool that, when we were playing World of Warcraft and someone would show up and save your butt when you were getting mauled by some Ogre or bear or something, I would call them Tony Almeda.
Oooh, and what if Tony's the bad guy? That would be disappointing on a gee-I-liked-that-character level, but interesting from a melodramatic perspective.
Bring on the roller coaster!

No spoilers here, but did the audio totally whack out on you in the last 15 minutes of the 2nd hour? I'm wondering if it was nationwide or if it was just out local affiliate. Imagine someone pushing the mute button every quarter-second. We finally got a "We are experiencing audio difficulty" superimposed on the screen.
No audio difficulties here. Just Jack goodness.
We didn't have any either. A special East Coast event. Grats.
We always say boop-beep, but there's a clunk in there, right? It's really boop-clunk-beep-clunk. This is as hard to define as the L&O doink-doink.
Yeah, kinda sounds like someone slamming the lid of a dumpster with every clock tick.
