America, Jack Bauer never wants to be the guy to save us, it just always seems to end up that way. This time he reallyreally does not want to be that guy. He's happy just taking his adorable granddaughter to the zoo and napping on the couch after. Sure, his man purse is still ready to be donned and he remembers how to shoot a gun but he's like, totally not into it. It's not his problem. Unfortunately the bad guys do not stop being bad just because Jack Bauer is retired. Evil men still spin their evil plots and government bureaucracy is too stubborn, slow and stupid to catch them. It's up to Jack and Chloe (and later on probably Renee Walker and Freddie Prinze Jr) to find a way to save us all in spite of the lack of support from the newly shiny and stupid CTU. Chloe has not yet mastered the CTU system but she's still awesomely full of attitude and back talk and thanks to the recent repeat of last season's finale, we all remember that Renee will do whatever it takes to get the bad guys. And listen, Jack Bauer, we'd all rather nap on the couch than go running around shooting at people, at some point likely getting captured and doing it all while fighting bureaucracy for the right to succeed. So thanks in advance, Jack Bauer, for saving America. Again. All in a day's work.
