I know there are many people out there who don’t agree with me, but I thought last night’s finale was rather good. Look, it’s 24, and it’s been written so deep into a corner over the past several years that it’s amazing they’ve been able to write their way back out. But the rebound from last season was nothing short of spectacular. Over the course of the season, there have been more twists in the plot than on...

Honestly, it’s hard to get too excited about an episode that was so obviously filler and in which so little happened. I mean, what does it say when Kiefer Sutherland headbutting a fashion designer on the streets of Manhattan in defense (kinda sorta) of Brooke Shields is almost more interesting than the Monday episode (for the definitive story on this, see Point / Counterpoint)? Especially when there are only three hours left in this day...

That’s actually a true story. People magazine had the tale, about how Kiefer was talking with Brooke Shields and this designer said hello, and, long story short, he ended up head-butting the designer. But why read the real story when you can read the first-person accounts on Blogs4Bauer (one of which was written by me)? Point: You broke my mother-f-ing nose, bro, by Jack McCollough Counterpoint: Moooooooooooo!, by Jack Bauer Come back...

I don’t know why I’ve had a hard time this week writing about 24. I think it’s a combination of factors: Tony is so utterly bad (unless he’s not) – boo! Chloe’s back – yay! Jack’s dying – boo! Jack went off on Janis Gold (otherwise known as Grimace, in some circles) – yay! Larry’s still dead – sorry, best I can do is neutral on that one. I only liked him for about 5 minutes...

Didn’t watch? Don’t read. That’s all I’m gonna say. They could not have made Tony look any more suspicious last night if they’d said to him, “Hey, Carlos, make Tony look really suspicious tonight.” Actually, that’s probably what they did. Thing is, Tony knows that if anyone could sniff out his duplicity, it’s Jack. And he also knows that the only way to stop Jack once he knows what...
