Jack Attack on a Christmas Tree

At 2am bar staff refused to serve any more alcohol. Undaunted, Kiefer persuaded management to let them loose in the lobby.

He ordered yet more booze on room service, then staggered around the entrance hall, entertaining pals with a bizarre, flailing breakdancing routine.

It was then that a huge Christmas tree caught his eye.

"I hate that fucking Christmas tree," he declared. "The tree HAS to come down"(in all fairness, the angel ornament sitting atop it called him a pussy first).

Bow down before Kiefer Sutherland, tree-punishing pirate.

24 - Karen Hayes is Out

Another week, another episode of 24. Tom Lennox is on the war path, which means the Constitution is on it's way out the window. But first he has to get rid of a major thorn in his side, Karen Hayes. Using his Deputy Chief of Staff (played by Chad Lowe, ER), he digs up enough dirt and people willing to testify against Hayes to demand her resignation. Somewhat teary-eyed Hayes complies, leaving President Wayne Palmer on his own to defend the Constitution and the freedom of American citizens.

Meanwhile, Nadia, a CTU agent of middle-eastern descent, is hog-tied by racial profiling within the government thanks to Lennox's new mandates. Lucky for her (probably bad for the rest of the country) Milo un-ties her hands by giving her unrestricted access to CTU by logging her in under his user ID. I can already tell that this is going to backfire and soon Milo will find himself in a holding cell for doing what he thought was right at the time.

Jack, on the other hand, has been torturing his brother by means of suffocation and coaxes him into giving up the location of a major player in the release of the suitcase nukes that are threatening the country. Jack pursues this new lead only to be cuffed in the back of the head with a shotgun. Enter Phillip Bauer.

It appears Jack's father is a good guy as he and Jack are betrayed by Graem yet again. The episode finishes off with Jack and his father handcuffed and on their way to "certain" death at the hands of Graem's security team.

Will Jack will pull a Houdini and get out of this latest hostage scenario? Of course he will. We'll just have to wait and see how many people he kills on the way out.

Bauer Power

I've run across a few lists on the internet of some interesting facts about Jack Bauer. Similar to the ever popular Chuck Norris Facts, here are a few of my favorites:

- Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

- No man has ever used the phrase, “Jack Bauer is a pussy” in a sentence and lived to tel...

- When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer fucking hates lemonade.

- Jack Bauer's calender goes from March 31st to April 2nd. No one fools Jack Bauer.

24 - The Plot Thickens

All I can say is GOD DAMN! I'll go ahead and throw it out there: No fan of 24 ever saw that coming. I sure didn't picture the infamous Graem having the last name Bauer. Now he's wishing he showed a little more affection to his estranged brother over the past years, seeing that he's in the process of giving up information, Jackie B style. The gun hasn't come out yet, and his kneecaps are still intact, but Jack will get the information he needs (through suffocation, maybe a little knife torture, or some good old fashioned screaming, "We don't have time!").

So, as the plot thickens we are left with some questions about the upcoming episodes: Does Jack know that Graem and his cohorts (possibly Philip Bauer, Jack's father) are responsible for dropping the dime to the Chinese about Jack's location at the end of season five? Why haven't Jack and his father spoken in nine years? Is Graem and Marylin's son really Jack and Marilyn's son? I could really go on for days about the questions that we all have...I guess we'll have to wait until next week to find out more.

Touché, Fox, on another kick ass episode of the most kick ass show on tv!

Jack Bauer - One Man Killing Macine

I didn't start watching 24 until a week ago when the sixth season started. I wish I would have pulled my head out of my ass a few seasons ago because the show is fucking great.

Anyway someone with a lot of time and way more initiative then me created bauercount.com. The site lists every person that Jack has killed along with the weapon used sorted by season.

If you like yourself a little Jack Bauer you should check it out.
