24/7
If Chad Taylor was still blogging over at the now defunct Muse Lounge, he'd no doubt be joyously spouting forth on the return of the new series of 24 to our tv screens (instead he's busy doing his dayjob or something). The third series kicked off with a double episode. Lots of juicy setups; Jack and a wee smack habit, Mexican drug lords, the daughter Kim now working at CTU, played by Elisha Cuthburt - her new movie is called The Girl Next Door, dodgy trailer is here. The setup is she is, oh, go and read the synopsis on the site, its stunningly stupid. She plays a one-time porn star.
Back to 24, there was some discussion of the President in our house; to the effect that what takes a whole series for Palmer to deal with generally only lasts half an episode on the West Wing. Comparing fictional Presidents is lame, though. Especially when one of them is Martin Sheen. Palmer is too soft.

And for some light relief....
