So who else is all excited about next season? FOX released the Season Six prequel, and it is, of course, awesome.

Yes, this is going to be Jack's sixth terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

Yes, I think it was sponsored by Toyota...

So, you know, they want to cash in. Maybe he's being HIRED by American car companies to take out their Japanese competition by deliberatly starting a war between China and Japan, that somehow involves the United States, probably through Presidential Intrigue, Protectionist Tariffs, the Patriot Act, and MySpace. But because Jack isn't for sale, they have to FORCE him to do what they want, which means that he'll probably get to kill his boss, take down at least 40 people personally, and pretty much look super hot while doing it. Or maybe CHINA wants to use Jack to initiate and help lead a hostile takeover of the American economy by cashing in all of the American Bonds the Chinese government has been purchasing, therefore causing a global depression and anarchy, allowing them to easily conquer the world and set up a Chinese Hegemony, based out of L.A. because the weather is better.

Or I could just be really tired...

That's what I'll go with.

Does anyone else find it strange that they opened the cell door so quickly after shooting the guard? Wouldn't they have to fumble around looking for the right key? And, if jack is so valuable to the chinese, surely they'd have him held somewhere a little more technologically advanced and secure than a cell kept closed by a rusty lock?

Kind of Yes, but it is the "US Special Forces" were talking about here, and they probably already knew exactly where the key was.

But as Super as Jack is, he (a) has been subjected to copious amounts of torture that would kill lesser men, (b) he is pretty much completely resigned to his fate, (c) maybe the Chinese had his cell be so flimsy so as to "encourage" an escape, or (d) maybe no one knows where Jack is (pretty logical assumption), and the men at the base are completely loyal drones.

Already you're making an assumption you shouldn't! They might be shadow agents of some sort.

I wasn't making an assumption. I used quotation marks to signify that they were not, in fact, members of the U.S. Special Forces...since at the end of the prequel they are revealed to be in collusion with the Chinese and just led Bauer to reveal the information he had suffered heinous torture to keep hidded: the identity of a Chinese agent. Wasn't that in that preview? It was when I saw it. Hey, watch it again, but watch it at this site: http://www.24weblog.com/

Although you're right. It is 24 and it could just as easily be a double blind--the US could be playing the Chinese and the agent Jack thought he betrayed was really Tom Cruise wearing a mask made to look like the agent.

President Wayne Palmer?

I sure hope he reappoints Jack to the post of Secretary of Ass-Kickings.

Yeah, it is Wayne, and hopefully he won't be a psycho president, since he and Jack and a few moments last season. But I think this season is not about Jack saving Americas so much as it is about Jack saving Jack. Which could mean that Palmer does go psycho and agrees to have Jack killed--or kill himself--for National Security, or just because he wants to cover up the fact that HE, Wayne Palmer, was the guy REALLY behind every bad thing that has ever happened to Jack and to America. Judging from previous Presidential/Beaurocratic behavior, chances of Jack being left out to dry are pretty good. I just hope he doesn't really get killed off. 24 won't be the same without Jack. The show isn't just about killing bad guys; it's about JACK killing bad guys.

I am really excited. There are 39 days and 12 hours until Day Six.

Oops, I missed that vital information! The prequel here goes up to the entry into the cell and no further

Yes, it could be double or triple or quadruple blind, in true 24 fashion. Although Jack is smart enough to see a double blind when faced with one!

It's true. Jack is never caught, he just puts himself at a disadvantageous position to make his next killings more dramatic.
