Jack's back! A guide to the 7th season of Fox's '24'


Spoiler: the first scene featuring hero ex-Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer in the network's two-day, four-hour premiere event kicking off tonight. Bauer is seated before a congressional subcommittee, finally called to account for unlawfully torturing suspects during past emergencies, gravely declining a lawyer and browbeating his inquisitor for questioning his methods.

Key changes/ points in the new series:
- CTU is gone.
- There’s a female president.
- Jack Bauer is called before a Senate committee to answer for his actions in preventing terror attacks, including torture.
- Tony Almeida is not dead and back, but definitely not how you expect.

By the way, 24 had two African-American Presidents [both were related] on the show.

Key changes/points in this country

-New changes in the U.S. agencies in the White House come January 20 [i.e top loyal Bushies in Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, DOJ positions, and so on will be gone].

-A call for Karl Rove, Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers to force to testify and answer to their actions to the Senate committee or be held in contempt and arrest them.

-Bush is out of office for good. And first African-American President Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President.

Cheroff thinks 24 is real and Jack Bauer is real so who knows Cheroff might ask for a job with CTU. The people of the show laughed so much at the Homeland Security Department on PBS. They wondered if all the people were idiots as 24 is make believe and they were asked questions as if it were real. Bush believes Star Wars is real so who knows he might believe the same with 24 and we know his appointees will only suck up and say yes Mr. President. Daddy Bush tried to help his idiot son but GW was to far gone to help.

I loved the way GW looked at Obama speak at the Presidents lunch. GW was looking at Obama as if to say Wow he's smart and black too.
