Officially Sick

Got a wonderful comment from Alyssa yesterday saying not to get sick...unfortunately, that sentiment came a little too late. It's been coughy-phlegmy central here, but there is a silver lining. I've gotten to get reacquainted with Jack Bauer, America's #1 hero of all time, in the last 24 hours (pun INtended).

Yesterday we finally watched the November special, 24: Redemption. Ah, Jack was in his prime! And, he had Robert "Begbie" Carlyle to help him. I was so stoked when he killed another man with his legs. Oh, but wait! This time, he killed a man with just ONE leg! (By breaking the man's neck, obviously!) After that, we were on such a Jack high, we decided to re-start Season 4 (the one with the Middle Eastern terrorists...you really have to keep track of your 24 seasons by what type of terrorists are involved).

The upcoming season deals with an imaginary African country called Sengala (or, Senegal anyone?), Jon Voight as a main baddie (it's about time he got on some quality show like 24), and the return of...my favorite CTU agent...TONY ALMEIDA!!! Buuuuuuuuuuut, he's turned!!! He's totally bad*! My only question is this: What 80's teen heartthrob will invade CTU this season? Season 5 saw Sean Astin on the beat, and Season 6 saw Ricky Schroder take up residence at CTU. If the only pop culture icon I have this season is Janeane Garofolo...well, I want my money back.

*No, I didn't give anything away: it's all in the previews.
