Torture is evil, Unless it's done by Jack Bauer

Jack Bauer is back with a bang.

So far four episodes into this season, I love it. I wasn’t sure how this season was going to be by the previews. “Twenty-Four” started out pretty good, as usual a little far fetched but good. (spoiler warning)
Jack Bauer is being questioned by Congress as this season starts out, for torturing people to get information. DUH!!!!! You can’t take that away from Jack, it is what he does best. Jack then is wanted by the FBI to help them with a former friend Tony Almeida, who they believe is a terrorist. Tony is alive!!!! What the hell is this Days of Our Lives, people die then come back, give me a break!!!!!
Anyways Tony isn’t a terrorist he is working with Chloe (glad to have her back) and Bill Buchanan (love this character-so monotonic facial expressions never change-so awesome) who are taking down terrorists and working under the radar because the new President’s people might be involved.
WHAT?!!!! These three people are their own army going against the country’s most powerful people and the world most dangerous terrorists. So they can do all of these illegal things and no one has found out about this yet.

I do love this show, and I can’t wait to find out what happens through out the season. First already the FBI has learned that Jack is never wrong, ever. If you work for the government, Jack will never be wrong and he will always choke one of your colleagues or you out cold. Also the new FBI girl (actress Annie Wersching) is a total babe, but I am not sure about her character yet. Right away after Jack starts working for the Feds they make fun of him and his methods and as soon as it was presented, Jack tortures someone.

It will be fun to see what old characters make their way into the plot of this season. I will enjoy the ride of the best show on television.

Also I am glad Nip/Tuck is back on the air. I love that show too. It’s one of those guilty pleasures. It is so silly, so out there, with such flawed and non-likable characters that I can’t turn away. This season has started out strange but I am again looking forward to seeing where it goes.

p.s. I love the bikini girl on American Idol…no I didn’t watch that show, I could easily go to any bar and watch dumb people doing karaoke drunk and get more entertainment than watching American Idol.

p.p.s. Can’t wait for the new 22 episode season of "Rescue Me" 4 to begin.

p.p.p.s. I hate award show, to me there is nothing more boring that to watch a bunch of pretentious actors pretend to like one another and pretend they are honored to win some stupid award. With that said, I hope Ledger wins for The Dark Knight.

p.p.p.p.s. I saw “The Wrestler” very real depiction of out of date indy wrestlers. I liked the movie, not as much as everyone else but it was decent, I did think Rourke was very good in the role.
