Jack Bauer: What a man!
WARNING: SEASON OPENER SPOILERS - IF YOU TIVO'ED DON"T READ

Within two hours he has successfully identified a terrorist suspect hiding in a dry cleaners from a cameraphone*, his girlfriend and her Dad have been kidnapped, he has illegally tortured a terrorist suspect by shooting him in the leg with a gub he stole from a CTU security guard the he knocked out, his partner of maybe twenty minutes has been shot and as we speak, he is pursuing another terrorist suspect who has kidnapped the witness that Jack was supposed to protect.
(* No, he wasn't hiding FROM the cameraphone, Jack used the cameraphone to find him )

Say what you like about Jack but don't, DO NOT, have ANY kind of relationship with him! Can't wait for the second part tomorrow night.

Its going to be a great spring season for TV - 24 (if I was a woman, I would be hot for Kiefer), Alias (rawr), Battlestar Galatica (its hokey but I actually thought the opener was good), Depserate Housewives (guilty pleasure), Boston Legal (I wanted to be James Spader every since Secretary) and Carnivale on HBO. And that's just the returning stuff. I made have to get a bigger harddrive for my Tivo, especially now that a lot of the stuff is in HD. By the way, does anybody know why Fox doesn't transmit in HD on DirectTV when ABC and CBS do? Its really frickin' annoying! There's a reason I have satellite - I can't get terrestrial signals where we live.

UPDATE:
(From the Directv press release)
The Fox HD programming, from WNYW in New York and KTTV in Los Angeles, will be available to eligible DIRECTV customers in markets where Fox owns and operates stations
SF has a Fox station but its an affliate not owned by Fox.
