Season Six of 24 was really more like three seasons. Season 6.1, the traditional two-part, two-night, four-hour, recapper-punishing premiere, saw the return of a battered and broken Jack Bauer after twenty months of torture in a Chinese prison. And then Jack partnered up with an ex-terrorist, killed his old friend Curtis to save that terrorist's life, and witnessed a nuclear explosion that leveled Valencia.
It was all downhill from there, as Season 6.2 was pretty much all about a somehow-fully-restored Jack chasing around after four remaining Russian suitcase nukes. In the meantime, we learned that Graeme, the evil mastermind from Season Five played by Paul McCrane, was in fact not only Jack's brother, but had been all along! As for Jack's father, he was being played by James Cromwell, much to the disappointment of fans who've been clamoring for Donald Sutherland to get that gig. Chloe and her ex-hubby were back together, Audrey was dead from going to find Jack in China, Milo was back at CTU after an inexplicable four-and-a-half-season absence, and the White House was occupied by David Palmer's little brother Wayne -- at least until Wayne got blowed up for not being enough of an insane imperialist nutbar.
Jack recovered the remaining nukes with seven hours left, setting the stage for Season 6.3. We learned that Audrey was alive, but the Chinese were holding her and wanted to trade her for a nuke component that would somehow allow them to take over Russia's entire nuclear arsenal, like some kind of universal remote control. So then there was all of that chasing around to do, and in the end, Milo was dead, Audrey was safe, Chloe was pregnant, Jack's dad somehow got involved again, and Jack managed to save just one more day. And then he got to blow off some steam at his former boss, Audrey's dad. Which was nowhere near as satisfying as it would have been to "learn" that Jack's nephew was in fact his son, even though we all pretty much knew that anyway.
And then all three seasons of Season Six ended with Jack wondering just what the hell he's going to do next. He's not the only one. -- M. Giant
The Amazing Race
Man, they don't make 'em like they used to. And by "'em," I mean "seasons of this show."
The fall brought a season of models and beauty queens and a lot of inter-team fighting. It also brought Rob and Kimberly and a lot of incredibly hilarious (in retrospect) intra-team fighting on that front. The season did feature, in beauty queens Dustin and Kandice, one of the show's first really formidable girl-girl teams, but they didn't quite make it to the final three, and in the end, the season's prize went to two models, snore. In other memorable news, we kind of maybe liked the girl with one leg, but we were happy when she got eliminated, because her boyfriend was about to drive us to putting a screwdriver in our eyes.
