YES! I have been waiting for this for a year!!!!!!!!!!
24 Rant Ahead!
First of all... OMFG TOM LENNOX! I can't believe how very happy I was to see him in there! I was seriously ecstatic. I saw him and started making all these squeaky noises XD. And then Vice President Dick Face... 'scuse me PRESIDENT Dick Face reared his ugly head...
Seriously. Who's f*cking bright idea was it to bring him back AND make him president? And what happened to the former? I was having to heal a dungeon when this was on, so I wasn't sure if I missed what happened to President Palmer.
Then... out of nowhere...
compassionate!Jack is full of win!
Kid: *hugs*
Jack: Thank you
Seriously, so much cute there and I really didn't even know what to do with myself. I couldn't stop "Aww"ing at him about it.Seriously, I was beginning to forget all about President Dick Face for awhile.
Then compassionate!Jack instantly morphed into ieatterroristsforbreakfast!Jack and my inner fangirl fainted. I don't think she ever recovered from that. Seriously, how he can go from that hug to barking orders, taking over, and then... ughughughugh the gun. <3 Jack and his gun... /drool
I got chills when he came out from behind that machine shooting. I was like YES! THIS IS WHAT TWENTY-FOUR IS ABOUT! JACK FUCKING BOWER PEW PEW'ING THE FACES OFF THE BADDIES!
HOLYWTFBBQ ROCKET LAUNCHERS!? Jack gets a simple 9mm and they get friggen rocket launchers? Seriously now... even American Terrorists don't get rocket launchers! What the hell makes them so special?
Apparently the bright idea of the rocket launchers was the production of the same guy who brought Noah Daniels into this and gave him his own desk in the Oval Office. In the immortal words of Gregory House "You're a moron."
What really got me is they end up knocking Jack out almost efforlessly at that last bit there and take him back. Then heating the sword (in which I was sitting here and making NYEH! sounds of distress)... and crying!Jack.
I had this uncontrollable need to jump through the television and just hold him and wish all the bad stuff away. But... he didn't need consoling because not only did he STRANGLE a man with his legs while chained in a standing position. The guy friggen SNAPPED HIS NECK!
Ah well... then the wonderful "I drink before noon" President LUSH DICK FACE... -_- Really, he pisses me off. I would have been the little 24 terrorist that could had I had a shot to get rid of him.
Summary
Tom Lennox = Immortal (+10000 points just for being there.)
Noah Daniels = I still hate you, burn in hell (You get jack shit from me. Because I hate you.)
Jack Bauer = Let me have your babies. Little terrorist-fighting Bauer Babies! (+infinity because you're a God)
But seriously, I'm going out Tuesday and buying that DVD. If only for the awesome sweet sneak peek at Season 7.
