"And you, sir, are weak —unwilling and unable to look evil in the eye and deal with it!" As he's being taken into custody, this is what Jack yells at the senator (AKA: the dad from That '70s Show) holding the torture hearings against him, shortly after he nearly cracks the politician's slimey chief of staff, a man in the know about the next terror plot. Anyone watching 24 the past seven years and viewing it as mere entertainment may be slightly at odds with Day Seven, as the show and its creators continue shoving back at its critics in... read more

Brace yourselves and set your DVRs an hour early: Fox is airing a special two-hour event of 24 next Monday, taking us right to the halfway point of the season. And judging by the teaser for next week, it's going to be huge, at the very minimum involving a threat against President Taylor's life. Even as moles tried scurrying back into their holes, cars crashed into other cars and people (Jack, obviously) shot and sliced open bad guys, there was an eerie "calm before the storm" atmosphere hovering over last night's 24. That's because with main baddie Colonel Ike Dubaku... read more

After listening to an hour of President Obama's answers to questions on everything from the economy to steroids in baseball, it was nice to finally take a break from the real-life drudgery and enter the much faster-paced, anything-goes fictionalized world of 24. Actually, that brings up an interesting topic for discussion regarding last night's episode. How much of 24 is actually fiction? Moreover, how would we know? That's the beautiful thing about this show. While there's a certain heightened, over-statement of happenings for entertainment purposes, one might wonder how someone in Jack Bauer's position would diffuse a time-sensitive crisis.... read more

Fun fact: It's been 24 months since the beginning of the previous season of 24. And boy, did Season Six start with a bang...literally. Remember, the dirty-bomb attack outside L.A., this occurring right after our tortured hero Jack Bauer shooting and killing lovable good guy and show-staple Curtis?... read more
