I KNEW Speedle Was a Good Guy!

In my DVR-less world, I've had to choose between Heroes and 24 this season (they both air on Monday's at 9:00 PM) - and I've chosen to watch 24. Heroes has lost its magic for me - and I can never get enough of Jack Bauer kicking ASS.

I was so thrilled to find out that Carlos Bernard (below) was back on 24 this season, playing Tony Almeida. At first it seemed that Tony was working for the terrorists - but Tony Almeida could never be a bad guy, and we soon saw his true (good guy) colors.

I was also happy to see former CSI: Miami actor Rory Cochrane (below) this season on 24 - although he too was initially playing on Team Terror. I loved Cochrane when he played Tim Speedle on CSI: Miami - he was snarky, unkempt, and a little nerdy - but somehow it worked. I cried my eyes out when "Speed" died.


So I was extra-super-duper excited to see Rory's character embrace the good guys and team up with Almeida on 24 last night. Tim Speedle would never let me down...


UPDATE: I didn't get to see the ending of the show last night, and now I'm hearing that Cochrane's character is still a bad guy! Is this true?? Damn that 24, with its' plot twists!!

Jack Is Back

I LOOOOVE 24, and was extremely excited to watch 24: Redemption last night. The show has been absent for almost 2 years because of production issues and the writer's strike, so Redemption was intended to get everyone up to speed before the January 11th premier. Kiefer Sutherland shot, stabbed and yelled his way through two hours of ass-kicking. BTW, did you ever notice that Jack Bauer yells "DO IT NOW!!!" at least once every episode?

Anywhoo, they also introduced the new President of the United States, played by Broadway veteran (and out lesbian) Cherry Jones:

The biggest shocker (for me) was at the end when they showed a preview montage of the upcoming season. Somehow, Tony Almeida (played by hottie Carlos Bernard - below) is back from the dead, and he's now a BAD GUY!!!

We also learn that C.T.U. has been disbanded, and my absolute favorite character - Chloe (Played by Mary Lynn Rajskub, below) - is now a stay-at-home Mom!!
