Okay, so maybe Elisha Cuthbert has gone to the 24 Grey Havens forever. Nothing on 24 is etched in stone, but we can always hope Kim Bauer will never come back. (Thank God.) It looks like the fifth season of the show has taken out not one but two major characters in the show's history in the first ten minutes. Former President David Palmer (Dennis Hasybert) got assassinated. Tony Almeda (Carlos Bernard) is in a coma. His wife, Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth) is dead.
As a new season approaches, it leaves me with a little wonder. Why are they going after the same old plots twists? The current President has a mole. I would roll my eyes and groan at this often used tactic if the character wasn't being playing by John Allen Nelson, star of such 1980's crap like Hunk and Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Also, I like that Gregory Itzen is playing the current President Charles Logan in a cross between Richard Nixon and Tweek from South Park. He's still a better President than Bush. Also, former Designing Women Jean Smart is his neurotic wife, who makes Betty Ford look like Betty Crocker.
Then, there's Diane (Connie Britton) Jack Bauer's landlady/possible love interest/candidate for Hottest TV Mom of 2006. Something tells me that next week's confrontation between Diane and Audrey Raines (Kim Raver) Jack's former girfriend, while be a catfight worthy of Dynasty status.
I still don't know what to think of Sean Astin as the governmental beaucrat Lynn McGill, but here's hoping the new season will be as good as the previous four.

Cuthbert is definitely returning this season, so be prepared for that. And Connie Britton is indeed hot, keeping the 24 Hot Mom tradition alive (or am I the only one who was in love with the way Shoreh Aghdashloo answered the phone in season 4?). I hope her story isn't over, though I could do without more Derek. I'm starting to develop kind of a crush on Chloe too.
There's just something about Chloe that grows on you, like when she went all Rambo on that guy last season with the M-16. We saw Shoreh Aghdashloo's character get shot or shot at. We never saw her die. I think her and Behrooz will be back. I guess House of Wax was the big success Cuthbert wanted for her career. I just hope she doesn't have the Jane Fonda Klute haircut.
