The Un-Bauer And The UN-Bauer
November 23, 2008 at 9:16 am
You may not like Jack Bauer in a post-torture, post-Gitmo world, but you gotta at least give the makers of “24″ credit for targeting a new villain, the United Nations.
Here’s one preview of tonight’s new “24″ season premiere:
Jack isn’t about to let the bureaucrats tell him what to do. But in spite of his best efforts to lie low, Jack’s save-the-world instincts kick in when an African warlord tries to kidnap the school’s pupils and make them fight in his army. Of course, the local United Nations representative is a sniveling coward and the U.S. embassy official Jack has to deal with is such a vile weasel that he might as well be twirling a handlebar mustache.
The UN having a “sniveling coward”? Sounds like “24″ is becoming even more realistic with every season.
