JACK BAUER IS OFFICIALLY BACK

24: Redemption officially…finally aired often almost 2 years of no 24.

There were several clichéd moments. A shot of angry bad guys arguing with each other. The first family with the usual drama. Clash of politicians.

And product placement! Cisco Telepresence! Nextel Direct Connect! I have to say in reality, we unknowingly use products that have such brand presence. I can’t wait to go to a room where the Cisco logo flashes in front of me.

Jack and his special forces friend compromised the best moments of the 2 hour special. In some way, the moments in 24 where Jack exhibits his empathy and compassion are the best moments. Don’t leave the children behind!

I first discovered 24 during college when I was scouring the servers at work. Considering this was back in the early days of full-on pirating, I discovered a directory of a full season of 24. It was the cool thing to watch among my coworkers then.

Not willing to compromise my own computer at the time, I told myself I would watch it some day. The following Black Friday, I saw a special for 24: Season 1. Only $15 at a local Best Buy. I was in San Diego that year and promptly decided to buy it. And from there, my viral influence spread.
