24: Redemption Live Blog
Come back tonight at 8pm for live recaps of all the 24 Redemption action.
In the meantime – post your bet on the number of points will rack up tonight here. Go Jets.
7:06
54 minutes until Jack is back! Fox should be ashamed for keeping Jack Bauer off the TV for so long. See what happens when Jack isn’t out killing terrorists! Jack goes dormat – the executives of AIG raid the company. Jack is off TV – Somali pirates hijack boats without fear of reprisal. Do I even need to remind you that if Jack was in Georgia – the country not the Peach State – Russia would have left them the hell alone.
Well I want blood. So until then – check out what we were up to while 24 was off the air.

7:59:59…8:00:00pm
Jack is back!
Ok Season 6.5 opens up on an African school bus. Wait no, they are 10 year old alcoholic soldiers. Worst army ever.
What is this African Children of the Corn?
The following takes place between 3 and 5 pm.
While we wait for Jack to start killing dudes – let me tell you what I had to do in order to get my wife to allow me to watch 24 and post for 2 hours. I had to watch Clueless AND My Big Fat Greek Wedding on TBS.
“You have a daughter” “Yes, but she’s a moron”
Willie stole Jack Bauer’s knife and lived to see the 4th grade. Jack is going soft.
Jack just got served. We are fighting 2 wars, the economy is in the shitter and the government wants to serve legal papers to Jack Bauer.
What’s the colonel going to invade? Chuck E Cheese?
It’s always bad news when the bossman asks you to burn files and bury the ashes.
COME ON JACK – give me a “dammit” or something!
“DAMMIT” +1 point
The last few seasons of 24 have all started the same. Jack Bauer tries to escape trouble…and trouble finds Jack Bauer. Instead of LA – it’s Sengala.
Oh God – they have to play soccer. Africa is worse than I thought.
BANG BANG Recess is over!
3:21….Did they go 21 minutes without a commercial?
Commercial Break
I’d rather start an army of children in Africa than spend $30,000 on a Hyundai.
Homeless rich people…how low will Fox go (do I need to ask)?
3:26
WHAT? A Hyundai tie-in. Really Fox? Are times that tough?
Madame President meet Caged Weasel. 24 Really jumped the shark on that one, we will call her Sarah Halin.
The Vice President did warn us that the new president would face a crisis if we elected them.
Female presidents always try to start conflicts. In Commander in Chief – MacKenzie Allen almost started a nuclear war in more than one episode. She invaded another country before the real president started to decompose.
Don’t worry little Mutombo – this show is called 24, I will be back to shoot some dudes.
Sprint Tie-in. Nextel. “I am going to save your kids, did I mention the reception on these Nextel phone is really clear”
Gloc – that’s a tie-in I can get behind!

Cardinal rule of 24 Villains – kill Jack Bauer when you have a chance.
3:44 – Commercial Break
I’d rather buy a $30kHyundai than watch Transporter 3 (aka Audi commercial with shooting).
Kill Counter = 11 points (10 kills, 1 Dammit)
3:49
This fancy eye-glass wearing side-burned scumbag has to go down.
Jack Kills a Dude +1
With his thighs of steel…don’t piss off Jack Bauer. But what what was up with the guy and the rear-view mirror?
The UN is a worthless bunch. Fox is not breaking any new ground there.
3:56 – Commercial Break
Hyundai Genesis – still a Hyundai…
Fringe – best new show on Fox (which isn’t saying much) but still a good show.
4:00 – Hour 2
24 always has more squirrley white dudes than a WWE event.
You know what I’m missing right about now? That CTU ring tone.
HEY it’s General Rerun!
4:07 - Commercial Break
21 minutes for the first commercial break – 7 minutes for this one.
Kill Counter Update = 12 points (11 kills, 1 Dammit)
I’d rather watch the new Adam Sandler movie than drive a Hyundai. I saw that car at the NY Auto show – it is ugly…and a Hyundai.
Baby Ebay commercial – I just lost my diapers in the stock market. Damn you AIG!!!
4:12
The nuke codes in the hands of a chick. We are doomed.
Did that guy just take Jack’s “we don’t have enough time” line?
Helicopter – I sense a 5 pointer.
4:17 – Another freaking commercial break.
I’d rather watch Tom Cruise’s new movie than drive a…no, I’d drive a Hyundai before seeing that movie.
ZOMBIE Tony sighting (season 7 sneak peek).
4:21
Helicopter is in the air, which means it’s closer to being shot down by Jack Bauer.
Computer geeks are not the same when they are not Chloe.
Torture scenes are not the same when Jack Bauer isn’t involved.
4:27 Commercial Break. Really Fox?
You can buy 24: Redemption on Tuesday. It comes on a really small DVD because it’s only 16 minutes long without the Hyundai and movie commercials.
Kill Counter Update = 12 points (11 kills, 1 Dammit)
4:31 (or 6 minutes to another commercial)
Jack has shot a lot of African guys. What does Jack have against black people? If CAIR was upset about Jack killing Muslims, I bet Al Sharpton has already called the Fox studios. Twice.
Only Jack can shoot down a helicopter with a handgun.
The kid runs back for a scarf that was originally going to Kim Bauer – and ends up screwing things up. Once again, Kim Bauer finds a way to ruin Jack Bauer’s day.
“There’s no time Jack”…stealing Jack’s lines…that’s a death sentence. Mr. Benton is deadmeat – no homework tonight!
Russian mine – probably won’t go off. Nevermind.
4:40 – Commercial Break
malarianomore.org – the only commercial worth a damn. Even though the site has crashed.
4:46
Willie! Mr. Benton had blue eyes. One blew there…one blew there.

The old Jack Bauer would have capped the kid.

Who are you? He’s Jack “mother farking” Bauer. Now open the gate.

Season 7 Preview
-Tony’s back – Chloe’s back. Dude from Sons of Anarchy. Explosions and an uzi. I cannot wait.
So what did you think?
My thoughts. I thought it was good. When I heard Jack was going to be in Africa – I expected that Season 6 was not the worst that Fox could offer. However this 2 hour installment was pretty good. There was some old-school Jack Bauer shooting, and a few “dammits”. I could have done without the filler with the junkie and would have liked fewer commercials.
The previews for Season 7 has me pumped up for January. I said to myself that I wouldn’t waste my time blogging for Bauer if it meant sitting through another crappy season. Last season was really hard to watch (and even harder to blog about).
Whatever we post about – we are all fans of 24 and want Fox to let Jack be Jack. Hopefully we can just put Season 6 out of our memory (sort of like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). So stay tuned to Blogs4Bauer as we all gear up for Zombie Tony’s return in January. If Jack Bauer can come back from the dead (twice), Tony can do it at least once.

Let me get this right!?!
No more CTU. Yes, I also miss the telephone ringing at CTU. Jack goes before a Senate committee to answer question about torturing terrorist ha ha ha maybe he can escape the way he did from Alfed. Jack goes FBI and gets to kill people in DC. Any chance they could send him to Wallstreet too. Chloe is a Soccer Mom (bet she kills her kid at HALO.) Did Prez Palmer II die or is he still in a coma or did he get his own show like his brother? Did Prez Logan die or doing Tricky Dick impressions? Please tell me Jack has given up women and personal relationships. I would like to see Jack through a whole season unrestrained by women (i.e. Kim, Terry, Audrey, Nina, that blonde chick in season three, …)Oh wait, Jack’s nephew is his son. Please say it isn’t so. And like wow we have to wait until January to get answers. Like Kim what a tease….
Did I miss a season, or at least an episode? What I last saw was Jack being kidnapped aboard a Chinese freighter. How did we get to Africa, and with only passing reference to one of the Stans. Continuity counts!
Yes you missed the mess known as season 6. Starts off good but goes downhill fast about hour 12 or 13!!
Thanks, Sig.
I kind of feel like the chick in the cartoon who looks sadly out the window and says, “God, I can’t believe I forgot to have children.”
I mean a whole season! What was I doing?
HEY. You still have time to catch up. NETFLIX!! That’s what I did last month. It’s been two years since the last season.
I went down to Blockbuster yesterday and realized that I did in fact see season 6. I think what I was remembering was the conclusion of 5! Anyway, I rented episode 1 of 6 to see if I can get back in synch before Jan.
Thanks for the help!
