Dammit, The Clock Is Ticking!
We are now less than 24 hours until the premiere of Season 8 and like most of you, I shiver in antici . . . pation. I also have a few questions for everyone to ponder in these remaining hours. To wit:
1. BSG veteran Katee Sackhoff will be playing the role of Renee Walsh. Really? The brain surgeons at 24 think that two characters named Renee is a good idea? It’s not like having two Mikes, I could see that, but two Renees? D-U-M.
2. I’ll make my mole prediction now. I think Sackhoff’s Renee is the mole. There, I said it. Of course, she will probably not be outed as a mole, per se. I figure the writers will out her as this season’s Cylon.
3. After looking over the cast, I don’t see any “real” New Yorkers in the mix. Season 8 takes place in New York, and we won’t hear one person yell, “Hey, I’m walking here?” Lame.
4. It took me a year to figure this out – because I’m an idiot – but I just recently realized that the actor who played Tim Woods (Frank John Hughes) is the same man who played Philly native “Wild” Bill Guarnere in Band of Brothers. Didn’t recognize him at all.
5. And finally, Season 8 is supposed to open with Jack Bauer tending to his granddaughter. Jack. Bauer. Is. A. Grandfather. Wow. I guess this means we’ll have a Cougar Bait sighting tomorrow. Nice!

Let’s hope the granddaughter is smarter than her mommie.
How could she not be?
It’s actually gonna be Dana Walsh, not Renee. That would’ve sucked.
Oh, my bad. They still have Renee up at the official 24 site.
My soul patch is grown out, BSD is installed and updated on my computer. I have a few bottles of Pepsi Throwback (best substitution for Jolt Cola). I think I’m ready to go.
Juan – That stuff is touted to have “real sugar.” Awesome!
Gov. David Patterson’s new mistress has “real sugar” too!
TJS – You would have to be blind not to see that!
(Yeah, I’m going to Hell.)
II am so wired after watching 24 I have trouble sleeping. You’ll be bouncing off the walls drinking that jolt-stuff AND watching 24.
Just testing – opened a socket in BSD – yes, yes, the site looks even cooler in UNIX.
