THIS IS THE LONGEST BLOG OF MY LIFE
It’s surprising – shocking, really – that it took Smock and I five long years to put up a 24 blog. Unlike most so-called “fans” of the show, Smock and I have been here from, literally, Day One.
Being a true 24 fan requires two things. First, you must watch each season as it unfolds on television week by week. None of this “I’m-too-impatient-and-waiting-to-watch-it-in-chunks-when-it-comes-out-on-DVD-next-year” bullshit. What makes 24 the most entertaining show on television is the anticipation that follows each week’s cliffhanger. Watching seasons in bulky four-episode chunks on DVD is tantamount to cheating. And nobody likes a cheater. Cheater.
The second requirement to be a true 24 fan is something that’s sadly completely out of your control. You must have watched the show from the very beginning with its post-9/11 start date in 2001. I applaud you for your dedication, perseverance, and work ethic for catching up on DVD before Season 4 or 5 (when the rest of the world also caught on – finally), but to have been there from the beginning and never missed a single hour makes you one of Jack Bauer’s most loyal followers.
We’ll be updating this blog almost daily with episode recaps and reviews, lists, plot predictions, and a hopefully steadily climbing Season 6 Death Count.
Seeing as how Jack was last seen being kidnapped and tortured by the Chinese, who knows what’s going to happen this season? Oh, right. You do. Because you watch Fox's spoilertastic pre-season previews. You ass.

I'd also like to point out that we've both watched Flatliners more than once specifically because Kiefer was in it.
Wait, that might come across as weird. I watched it for the stimulating plot line about med students stopping each other's hearts for periods of time so they could see the afterlife.
