For those of you who watched the Golden Globes last night instead of 24, please redirect yourself here. Everyone else, read on:

Holy Crap! How is Jack Bauer getting out this one? They nuked LA! Those bastards!

Last night’s episode of 24 was the best two hours of television since Geraldo went into Al Capone’s vault. I was up until 2 AM just thinking about it. What it takes other series (serieses? Seri?) two seasons to do, 24 did between 9:45 and 10:00 PM last night.

TWO series changing events. Bang! Bang! One after the other. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll either see eventually or don’t care, so I wont bother to go into great detail. But, I am wrong? AMAZING!

But also scary! The terrorism depicted in the first four hours of Season 6 is probably our worst case scenario, but that just means that it is indeed a scenario thats considered possible. Yikes!

As you heard at the end of last night’s show, the bad guys have four other suitcase nukes waiting to go off in a city near you. Are you the kind of person that’s curious as to what would happen to your city if it was hit by a nuke? Well, just like people with foot fetishes and the members of the International Badminton Federation, there’s a website for you too: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/gmap/hydesim.html

UPDATE 1/17/06: Here is a reaction to the first four episodes of 24 from a real life Muslim. I always find this guy’s point of view very interesting. He’s level headed and wise and proves it time and time again.
