I just got done watching the first four episodes of the new season of “24” (God bless the Internet and Bittorrent). I’m happy to report that this is still my favorite show on television!

- The always enjoyable Regina King joins the cast as another Palmer sibling.
So far this is easily the darkest season yet. There is all sorts of bad stuff happening. The good guys have a lot of catching up to do.
And then there’s Jack. How much can this guy take? Each season of “24” pushes this character to the limit. This season starts with him pretty much at his limit already. A couple of times he tells people “I can’t do this anymore,” but he keeps getting sucked in anyway.
They’re really kicking the season off with a bang. Look for a shocking moment near the end of hour number four. And just as you’re done absorbing that, look for an even bigger shocker!
Tick…tock…tick…tock…
Meanwhile, here's the Day 6 prequel. Like the previous prequels, it eventually turns into a blatant car commercial. But it's still fun to watch if you're a fan.
