OK, maybe not a video store, but this alternate ending, found in the Special Edition DVD of season one (which the FOX people tell me is out today), shows us one of the ways the writers could have ended the season one (the real ending had Nina killing Teri and yelping that no one would ever know who she worked for ... guess what, we still don't. Jack should have ripped her head off right there ...

It's Monday ... It's January. And 24 is still not back. Damn you network television for not coming to terms with the writers and forcing me to read about one of my favorite shows.Last year I received word about a new book coming out called Secrets of 24: The Unauthorized Guide to the Political & Moral Issues Behind TV's Most Riveting Drama, which is a long title made all the more glamorous by the ...

Just found this on Digg.com and I can't believe I never noticed the resemblance before. It's probably because season 7 of 24 has been postponed, probably forever since the WGA strike hasn't shown any signs of ending (look at what Conan has resorted to without his writers).So in lieu of Bauer kicking ass, I'll try to regularly post on stuff on this site. Don't worry. There's a book on the ...

There are plenty of 24-themed books out there, but this entry has something the other ones don't: a quote on the back from yours truly.A couple of months ago I was contacted by someone involved with "24 and Philosophy: The World According to Jack (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)" and was asked to provide them some praise for the back of the book. She sent me the book ...

4 a.m. to 6 a.m.5.20.07 I’m sick of components, character recaps and old men who can’t drive. The next season of 24 better have digital software, ambiguous statements and sexy Latina waitresses who run illegal street races on Friday nights ... The season finale of 24 started off as most mornings do in LA. A middle-aged blond man kidnaps a 16-year-old kid and brings him to the beach, the FBI is ...

2 a.m. to 3 a.m.5.7.07 The security at CTU has failed again, proving once more that their guards are as useful as geriatric Wal-Mart greeters. And those guys can barely see or speak English. This time the culprits went through the sewer (what? there’s a sewer under CTU?), which is a shame because Old Man Buchanan used to patrol that sector with a flashlight and a baseball bat. Sometimes he ...

1 a.m. to 2 a.m.4.30.07 There’s something in the air tonight. It’s not love or an unsettling Phil Collins song. No, that feeling floating through the atmosphere is the grip of evil and it’s touching everyone in their no-no-bad-places. Sheryl Crow (Audrey) has been touched by the Chinese and is in a state of catatonic shock. That’s what happens when you are prodded with chopsticks and ...

3.26.078 p.m. to 9 p.m. Jack Bauer found a new friend in his daily fight against terrorism. His name is Brady. He can hack into any computer in the world, will do anything you say (eventually) and loathes all red-colored foods. Brady is also autistic, making him loose cannon. He can save the world or bring it to its knees, all with a kind smile and a hug. Bauer handles the situation as ...
