Jack in a Box: 10 Things we know about Season 6

It's been a while since I last wrote about '24' as its been all hoops all the time for the past three weeks. So to help you catch up, here are 10 things we know from watching Season 6 so far.

10. Jack Bauer is in Foul Trouble- Or at least that's the only explanation I can think of as to why we've seen so little Jack at points during this season. When he's not resting in Medical or hanging out in Charles Logan's stable. Let's hope cutting off the Russian Consul's finger with a cigar cutter was his third and CTU is resting Jack for a frantic run of hostile killing late in the day.

9. Ricky Schroeder is still the "Silver Spoons Kid"- He can do "NYPD Blue", "24", and about eighty "Law and Order"s, he's STILL the Silver Spoons kid.

8. We're Going through Presidents Like Crazy- In approximately four years we've had five Presidents. Keeler-Logan-Gardner-Palmer-Daniels. Hockey teams don't go through coaches this fast.

7. Somehow a Neo-Con got on a Democratic Ticket- How did Daniels get elected with Wayne Palmer? Did MoveOn.org endorse these two? This is like Barack Obama being succeeded by Dick Cheney. What liberal views does Daniels have? Does he have a radical Health Care Bill? Has he moved to eliminate Corporate Welfare? I have a hard time picturing him supporting Gay Marriage.

6. We are On the Brink of War with...umm...uhh...Country to be Named Never- Might as well make up a fake country at this point. Call it Muslimia or something. Make it like the 555 area code for all politically correct minded shows to use. Funny how Jack didn't get captured by "Some Asian Country with Lots of People" and Logan didn't sign a treaty with "A former Communist Superpower".

5. You Can get Booze into CTU- All the background and schematic information on every person and place in the world. Yet as diligent as the Brewster/Boland RSA's searching my backpack for 40's from Aldo's when it comes to sneaking booze in. Maybe Morris said it was for the "1,000th Dead Terrorist Party" the next day.

4. Torture=Ratings- "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" and "Are You on the List" face promotional competition from "You will experience a pain I can't even begin to describe!" and "I'll start cutting your fingers off one by one!"

3. Jack missed some Interesting Thanksgivings- "Graham, how is the new global conspiracy coming to kill your brother, pass the cranberrry sauce", "Graham, you notice how much your son looks like your brother that your wife used to bang? Pass the rolls"

2. Muslims aren't Bad People, Muslims aren't Bad People- Only the one trying to set off the nuclear weapons is.

1. These Terrorists Suck!- Habib Marwan must be rolling in his grave. Abu Fayed and Dimitri Gredenyko had five suitcase nukes. One got set off in a tiny LA suburb then blown out to see by the wind. One got defused. And the latest one got flown into the ground by a means similar to that of an arcade video game. I bet if you pushed A, B, A, B, Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B,A Start the other two nukes would diffuse and we could end this season by the 18th hour.
