Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

Unlike the Monz and most of the rest of tvland, we are not feeling the new season of 24. It's the same old 24: supersoph terrorist cells, moles, surly teens, surly coworkers. Here's what we would have done this season: Jack is involved with a woman whose daughter is a biomed student at University of Texas. The daughter has hooked up with some Laotian students who are planning to launch a terrorist attack to make it look like the Laotian government has struck Houston. Why? Because they're angry that the Astros lost to the WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX!!! and, more importantly, want the U.S. to invade so they can rebuild their impoverished nation. Jack stumbled onto the plan, but can't turn to anyone for help because he's supposed to be dead. He tries to go it alone, but the more he learns and the angrier he gets at his situation, he decides to join the rebels. Somehow Chloe stumbles onto the plot, but she can't tell anyone because she was in on the "Jack is Dead" thing. Nontheless, she enlsits Tubs from the next phone over to help her. The three of them face off in the final hour. Cool.

We're not feeling Monz' lunch today either, though his report was very Jack Bauer-esque: "Lunch today will be abbreviated -- I will at some point, most likely in my car, be dining on two shrimp spring rolls from Whole Foods as I drive to a mysterious rendesvous where I will be working on hard Monz v 4.5. No, its not the health club again, though I will be doing that afterwards."
