Hey, one of the talkbackers on Herc’s last “24” post said Jack Bauer’s fabulous blonde daughter Kim is actually a nanny now. True?
True. What the cheeky talkbacker may or may not have failed to mention is that Kim’s mercurial new boss, successful commercial director Gary Matheson, has some kind of temper! Before the end of season two’s first episode, Gary will have slapped his trophy wife silly. And even the protective Kim won’t be able to dodge a smack upside the head!
Is Kim a live-in nanny?
Yes.
Will Jack kill Gary?
This I swear! Er, I mean, who can be certain?
Herc never said whether Jack is still with Counter-Terrorism Unit.
As the episode begins, Jack is on “inactive” status. Within minutes, though, he’s back working for Uncle Sam at the behest of President Palmer. (Don’t be surprised if Bauer looks a little different the next time we see him.)
Did Soul-Patch Tony get Jack’s job?
Doesn’t look like it. But he did inherit Nina’s old desk.
With Jack, Nina, Jamey and likely even Milo gone, isn’t CTU now a big empty place?
Not so much. We will soon meet at least two dishy CTU operatives. Paula is a perky, overeager programmer. CTU vet Michelle will serve, at least temporarily, as Jack’s right hand during the big crisis.
Are Paula and Michelle traitors??
Heh. If they were, people would kinda stop watching “24.” Am I right?
Will Michelle serve as Jack's new love interest?
Zap2it.com reports that the Hollywood Reporter reports that the suspicious young Kate Warner (mentioned in Coax's last "24" post) is likely to catch Jack's eye.
Wanda over at E! Online says Sherry Palmer won’t be back next season. What the dilly?
Well, Entertainment Weekly says Sherry will be back. The relentlessly beguiling Wanda also seems to think new Palmer aide Jenny Dodge was introduced last season, though no one else seems to remember Jenny (perhaps Wanda is thinking of the vixenish Patty?). It’s all very odd.
Is everyone really sick of Herc’s obsession with nakedness-prone lesbian mass-murderer Mandy?
In no way. Most Coax readers enjoy being reminded of Mandy and her propensity for spontaneous nudity. But Herc will soon stop making mention of Mandy, hopeful that it will somehow increase his chances of seeing her cavort nakedly again.
