Well, this week the Jack Bauer Kill Counter erupted – at least compared to the last two zero-infected episodes. While there were no Jack Bauer kills this week – although he had an arguable assist on the Marcos push – there were a mere two DAMMITs. Looks like it was another Wyattastic evening.
We do have a winner, though. Steveegg wins this lame-ass week with his guess: “Now that I’m commenting in the right post, I’ll go with 2. DAMMIT!”
Congratulations, Steve. Your sweaty Kayla bedsheets are enroute to your secured location.
Here’s the post for tonight’s JBKC3.5 2am-3am. Enter your best guess in the comments.
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 (3/2).

Yelling at Jack Bauer: Deadly
At the end of last night’s episode, just before Ernie Anastos previewed what would be on the 10pm news, The Jack Sack helped coin a new word that will become part of 24 lexicon forever.
In honor of his (and Wyatt’s) contribution, I’ve submitted “Wyattastic” to Urban Dictionary where millions of people looking for crude sexual innuendo will instead be taught about Wyatt’s penchant for liveblogging episodes of 24 where even Jack Bauer looks bored.
For example, as TJS stated, last night’s episode was “Wyattastic”.
Submit your own examples of using this new word in the comments.
Update: Urban Dictionary published an entry for Wyattastic.
You know, there is nothing more infuriating than having a Jack Bauer Kill Counter that sits around collecting dust. Last week’s episode saw the JBKC take a sabbatical, and considering that this week included a Jack-led SWAT team assault, many of the guesses were high. However, some folks figured on the Wyatt jinx, and while I was working last night, I saw the grim news during my TiVo blogging. The Kill Counter took the damned night off again! No death, no destruction, no “Dammits!”
We do have a winner, though. Actually, we have a tie. Two readers were the closest to the sum total this week. Both Wisekrakr – “1, but I sure wish I’d miss this by a lot to the positive side.” – and Juan Paxety – “Hoping to get the counter spinning, I’ll guess only 1.” – guessed 1, which was one off of the actual (lame) total of zero.
Congratulations, kids. Your autographed Farhad Hassan death shrouds are on their way!
Apparently, getting stabbed in the abdomen can’t stop Jack Bauer from killing the bad guys, but a little ol’ burst cyst can bring Kiefer Sutherland grinding to a halt.
The Hollywood Reporter says filming has stopped so Sutherland can undergo surgery. They claim the season won’t be disrupted, however.
I have to believe it’s relatively serious, as Kiefer’s always been pretty conscientious about not mucking with the filming schedule. Remember how he spent Christmas in jail just so his sentence wouldn’t interfere with the show’s schedule (not that it ended up mattering because the entire season was postponed due to the writer’s strike).
OK, would someone do a great photoshop job for this post, now? The Man? Adam? Bueller?
Come by starting at 8:30 p.m. for tonight’s ep!
Everyone’s reporting about it, so it must be true: There’s almost definitely going to be a 24 movie. (That’s why I called it “2,” get it? ‘Cos movies are usually – oh, nevermind.)
What does this mean for our beloved, yet beleaguered, show?
This is, in all likelihood, its final season. But then they might do a bunch of Bourne-type movies. Can you see it? Jack pushing a walker, chasing after some guy who’s about to get away, then whammo! Jack wings the walker at the guy, one of the legs puncturing right through his lung or heart or other vital organ?
You know you wanna see it.
Seriously, though, I can’t say I’d be too devastated if this ride came to an end. 24 gave us several good years. And even in its worst times, still gave us at least a couple hours’ of great television (c’mon, the first four hours of Season 6 were pretty good, with the nuke going off and all, and then we had the great Martha Logan kiwi toss/neck stab, which is always good for kicks).
But Season 6 was just insanely craptacular. And Season 7 had so much promise and then turned to something stupid. And so far in Season 8? Well, other than the pull-the-knife-out-of-his-gut-to-kill-a-bad-guy-with-it-from-across-the-room-then-shoot-two-other-guys-to-death scene, it’s been rather lackluster.
So, if you have some good ideas for movies, something that can be wrapped up in maybe a couple hours without cougar-related storylines or the traveling meth lab that is Dana Walsh’s life, go for it.
Just as long as Jack shouts a lot and kills people. Got it?
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.
Here’s the post for tonight’s JBKC3.5 8pm-9pm. Enter your best guess in the comments.
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

Make sure you’re stocked up for the full 2 hrs! AmyV, you’re all set.
Historical footnote John Edwards was recently quoted as saying he was “really looking forward to the exciting return of Jack Bauer this Sunday.” Edwards, a one-term Senator who made millions suing the pants off of people, and causing insurance premiums and malpractice insurance rates to skyrocket in the once-quiet state of North Carolina, insisted that America really needs to focus on Jack Bauer this week.
This is also the same week that has seen the release of “GAME CHANGE” an “insider” look into the 2008 campaign for President, which gives an in-depth look at Edwards’ affair with New Age-flake/prostitute/filmmaker Reille Hunter. With all of this renewed attention on Edwards’ cheating behind the back of his cancer-suffering wife, the former VP-nominee insists that there are two Americas, one that worries about old news and the other which is focused on “that bitchin’ TV show, ‘24!’”
And if you’re not a fan of “24,” Edwards suggests the alternative distraction of George Clooney’s Oscar-contending movie “UP IN THE AIR” about a shallow middle-aged man who ruins people’s lives and metaphorically opines that we need to “lighten the load in our bags.” What a load indeed…
