Audrey is Evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

03/21/2006

24 POWER HOUR!

Watching 24 right after watching an episode of Sleeper Cell is kinda odd, kinda cool. One the one hand (24) you have a bombastic and fantastic take on an anti-terrorist unit that’s almost sci-fi (not surprising- since a good number of the writers are from that genre) with evil office politics, two-faced characters and a mostly black/white take on good and evil (the grays are presented but…it’s still very republican in their presentation). Sleeper Cell, like I’ve said before- is very much a tale as told by the bad guys (with no superheroes- although, let’s see how this ends, I might be mistaken). It’s not an original take- but it’s told well and a good compliment to 24.

Anyway- last night’s 24: DUDE, AUDREY RAINES IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a cool twist. Is she being set up? Maybe- but even the possibility that she’s playing on the other team is intriguing. My prediction is that she’s being set up- maybe her father’s evil or someone else in DOD. But if she turns out like Nina Myers? Well, she won’t be all assassin- but still…maybe Jack will finally learn that’s it’s okay to fall in love with someone with a lil meat on her bones.

Is the VP evil? Well, duh…he’s trying to kill the former principal of Sunnydale High. Unless it’s another red herring. As someone else pointed out, it’d be cool if he ran into the guy from Season 2 with the cabin…or Kim’s cougars. Agent Pierce seeing more action next episode? Hope so…and not just from FLOTUS, let’s see him demonstrate why he’s one of the heads of the Secret Service.

CTU vs. Homeland Security, where’s the misshapen head of Robocop, and which country will Jack piss off next? He’ll never be welcome in Bosnia, China and now Germany? I think the final seasons of 24 will involve an all-out World War. Wonder if we’ll see the German dude again?

Four Stars!
