Here’s the post for tonight’s JBKC3.5 10pm-10pm. Enter your best guess in the comments. We sort of lost track of who had what in the first 56 hours because Arlo got his hands on the database we’re a bunch of slackers with the attention span of a typical CTU red shirt. We’ll have Chloe rebuild things shortly when Dana gets her hand out of her lap.

Since last season’s kill counter worked after a fashion, we’ll be running it again with only one modification since there will be a lot of Kim Bauer mentions. It will be a points based system that awards Jack Bauer points for doing good things like killing someone and negative points for doing bad things like saying “I’m sorry”.

Each week we will ask you to submit how many points you think Jack will get, the person closest wins. Submit how many points Jack Bauer will rack up in tonight’s episodes in the comments – we will publish the winner on Tuesday (1/26).

Here is the preliminary list of points. We may remove and/or add to this list as the season progresses, so send us any suggestions you may have.

Kill Counter 3.5
Killing Someone = 1 point
Killing a good guy = -1 point

Bonus Points
“Dammit” = 1 point
“We don’t have enough time” = 1 point
Shooting down a helicopter = 5 points
Apologizing for anything = -5 points
Crying = -5 points
Surrendering to bad guys = -10 points

According to the note I wrote on my hand, it’s almost time for tonight’s live blog. We’ll crank things up around 8:30 eastern. Get your guess into tonight’s Kill Counter.

Haven’t people learned by now that it’s not smart to fool with Jack? Granted, Keifer, not so much.

Prosecutors say Michael Wayne Carr of Linden had agreements to buy steers in Mexico for his customers and sell them for profit in the United States. Carr allegedly took $869,000 from Sutherland, star of the Fox TV show “24,” and $177,000 from a New Mexico couple.

This may just be a publicity stunt to give us a glimpse at the rest of Season 8. It turns out that the Russians are really working for Mexican cattle rustlers.

The upside is that after the interrogation — steak for everyone!

Between Zombie Edgar’s death, Chloe’s baby, and this whole move from LA to NY, well, things have gotten a little lax in the B4B bunker/pool hall. Some mole opened a socket on our settings and checked the “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” box. At the same time that marvelous bastard left the “Anyone can register” box unchecked!

What that means is, if you’ve tried posting a comment here lately you’ve been as lucky as a Red-shirt at the CTU Christmas party — stuck in the corner with the other expendables and not a chance in hell of gettin’ you any.

The good news is that Chloe dropped Morris’ spawn off at Mommies Morning Out and fixed everything while waiting in line at Starbucks.

So leave some comments. Season 8 is only a week away.

Just a quick interruption to say that Blogs.4Bauer.com has been updated to WordPress 2.9 and we’ve changed to a new theme. With that said, the new theme really needs a new banner image. Someone point me to some Season 8 images.

Could this be the end? TV Week says, SHOCKER: Fox Entertainment President Says This Season of ‘24′ Could Be Its Last

Kevin Reilly, Fox Entertainment President, said that the upcoming season of “24” might be its last.

[...]

“We haven’t made any decision whether it’s back or not [after this upcoming season],” says Reilly. “The producers are passionate, Kiefer is passionate and we don’t have any of them looking to jump ship. It’s a show we’re really proud of. It’s going to come down to a business decision. It’s not an inexpensive show on the network books and we also want to finish strong. This is not a show we want to prop up. It will be a whole creative and business discussion and something we’ll have to deal with over the next few months.”

Thoughts?

Chloe (or was it Zombie Edgar) has been here to upgrade Blogs.4Bauer.com to the latest version of WordPress. If you see anything wonky open a socket and let us know. We can’t afford a perimeter breach.

It’s time for the two hour Season 7 finale. The liveblog tomorrow night is going to be awesome.

I know there’s no chance you’re going to forget, but just in case:

You know the drill. The live blog will start a few minutes before show time. While you’re waiting be sure to get your guess in for tonight’s kill counter. Oh, and tell your friends. Tell your tweeps. Use #b4b. See you in a bit.

We are down to the short rows now. We will kick things off about 15 minutes before the show starts.

Join us here tonight. We will kick things off about 15 minutes before show time.
