Leaked Plot Summary for 24!!
Spoiler Alert!!
I’m a big fan of the FOX series 24. However, now that I’ve seen a few seasons one point rings clear: they spend all the money on A: Jack Bauer and B: Writers!
Even funnier is how predictable the show really is. Just to prove it, I’ll quote something a friend wrote to me in an email discussing whether or not he’ll bother to watch the current season.
Patriot/Vigilante Jack Bauer will thwart multiple terrorists threats of the chemical, biological and nuclear variety (likely a combination thereof), despite corruption at the highest levels of government and moles within his own unit. His superiors will exhibit distaste for his wanton disregard for protocol, even to the point of attempting to relieve him of his duties, but Bauer will not be sidelined.
In the meantime, we will catch a glimpse of Bauer’s personal angst–his estrangement from his daughter and inability to have a lasting love affair–which comes as a result of tireless dedication, almost obsession, to his duty.
In the end, Bauer will prevail against all odds, and save millions of American lives from certain destruction. The day will end bitter sweetly, however, as the 24th episode will see Bauer presented with his next challenge.
We will then be subjected to multiple previews and advertisements of that challenge for the next 7 months, read by Joe Buck at least 50 times during every sports telecast seen on FOX.
When you’re right, you’re right, eh? While this may certainly be true, I’ve got two episodes of the Jack Bauer Power Hour (a.k.a. “The JBPH”) sitting on my DVR just waiting for me to get home!
