The TV show 24 starts tonight, Sunday, January 17 at 9 pm on DC Fox 5. The season premiere will be a 2 night 4 hour show. 24 star Kiefer Sutherland will again spend a season going through 24 hours of incredible espionage, terrorism attack, counter terrorism, an arsenal of weapons and probably torture. This season’s 24 will take place in New York City.
Jack Bauer, the hero of the show, has seen more lives than a cat. A grandfather, he is beaten, shot, tortured, kidnapped, drowned, imprisoned, poisoned, drug injected, and just about anything else you can lay on the human soul, and he lives to fight another day. He continues to be fired and brought back in to government service. 24 has had both a black president and a woman president. In that respect, it is quite futuristic.
It is also that time of year when Elena and I have to square off over the reality of 24. I say art imitates life. She feels 24 is pure fiction. I justify some torture using the TV show 24. Elena rejects torture under any circumstances. So, there’s the trailer for the Moon-howler/Elena segment of 24 also. Hopefully, our readers know that while we disagree on some issues, we can agree to disagree. We just wanted to include you all in our annual tiff over the show.
(P.S. We also disagree on PETA. We will do that one in the spring, in time for the Kentucky Derby.)
