We outran a few drones to bring you this review of 24: Live Another Day.

Wiser men than me have said to not take yourself so seriously.

Do even less when watching24because buying into everything it throws our way is maddening.

Yet Im still here, watching, reviewing, and hanging on to Jacks every word.

The show might have died years ago, but the character lives on.

MI5 is cooperative with Bauer because he saved more than a few asses and hes gained their trust.

Hes red hot, spit-while-you-shout mad at the Prime Minister for doubting Jack Bauer.

You gave me your word, Heller screams like a lunatic at the Prime Minister.

I personally give you my word that hell have everything he needs.

What Jack needs is for people to start talking.

Simone is still recovering from getting hit head on by a bus LITERALLY 20 minutes earlier (in24time).

Now the question remains: is Margot willing to kill her own daughter to salvage her mission?

Of course she is.

And just who is that scratchy voice on the phone paying for those secrets?

Hes the Snowden-like bad guy giving secrets away.

Before we can even process that tidbit, were moving along to more pressing matters.

The pressing matter at hand is the transition of Heller from sitting president to former president.

Getting what they ask for is never enough.

They want it all.

They want the world to crumble beneath their feet for the sick thrill of knowing they made it happen.

Killing Heller isnt going to bring her husband back.

Its not going to end drone warfare.

But I guess anything is possible.

Lock on target and fire.

Its also a long overdue wake up call for anyone still hangs on Jacks every move, like myself.

Those of us still watching24have to be people who are slow to accept change, right?

Best of the Rest:

Im buying into the Russia plot.

Their diplomat has a great mustache, hes willing to play dirty and I hope he takes down Mark.

He wont get what he wants, but Ill have a good time watching him try.

I want more China.

If24is going to jump the shark why not jump two of them at the same time?
