Can't say I wasn't pleased that the writers of 24 are back to their old ways, killing off anyone who gets too close to Jack Bauer. Agent Renee Walker was one of those screen presences that just begs for a bullet. And now Jack will be one mean mofo for the remainder of the final season. This makes about the fourth or fifth love interest of the lead character who has met her end due to Jack's job. Match.com could try a cross-promotion.
Saw a tweet this morning from @FishNChimps that read:
"No arguments. 24 season finale was shite."
Could not agree more, even though Monday nights are now a little boring without that show to mock.
And now, a little rhyme in honor of what keeps that show even semi-watchable anymore, the dastardly Tony Almeida.
Crackin' skulls and snappin' necks Suffocatin' friends, survivin' car wrecks In twenty-four hours, he don't tire Got blown up and walked out the fire Workin' undercover ten layers deep A soulless soldier don't need no sleep
You wish you was Tony Almeida Darker than the darkest Darth Vader Little Jack Bauer can't touch his skills Cold blooded killer lost track of his kills
Talks in a whisper out the side of his lip When you think you got him, he give you the slip Turn around and he's right behind you A gun at your head, here to remind you
You'll never be Tony Almeida A secret shadow and a dark crusader Hit him with a flamethrower, he don't care He don't burn, you won't singe his hair
The show's gettin' crazy, they all should die Garafolo - all the punks at the FBI Sick of Agent Walker and that stupid brat Kim Tony take 'em down, it don't matter to him
FOX, make a show called "Tony Almeida" 'Bout a crazy patriot, or maybe a traitor You never know, and that's his game The cop and the crook are one in the same
And here's a little something I found on YouTube showcasing the astonishing acting ability and amazing range of Carlos Bernard, the guy who plays Tony Almeida.
Back when we were kids, the advertising people told us that "in the future" we'd all be free from disease and living in peace, flying around with our own jetpacks. The future is now...and we're still waiting.
