At the Eleventh Hour

At the eleventh hour of 24, it was revealed that the mastermind behind all the day's events of terrorism, Presidential assassinations, and mass chaos is none other than President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin) himself.

So far, Itzin, has played as a gross between Nixon and Tweek from South Park, with enough paranoia to fill hourly content updates for about one dozen conspiracy blogs.

On Real Time with Bill Maher Friday, there grew a debate that Bush knew about the terrorist attacks and that's why he was in Florida on Sept. 11. Maher acted surprised, like he had been in a coma on Mars for the past five years and hadn't heard these conspiracy theories. Maher doesn't like blogs and I don't blame him, but a lot of people believe there was a reason Bush kept reading My Pet Goat, and it's not because he's an idiot and wants to know how it ends.

I like the angle 24 is taking with making a man, who should never be Commander-in-Chief, an bad guy. But what's amazing is the similarities between Logan and Bush. They seemed to act like a child who is going to take their ball and go home when people disagree. They're too quick to act with violence rather than think about the consequences. They both look like there's a communication breakdown from their brainwaves to the rest of their body.

I'm wondering how 24 is going to end the season. Will the public know about Logan's actions? Will Jack Bauer have to shoot the one man he must take orders from, no matter what? Or will Kurtwood Smith, Miquel Ferrer, Felton Perry, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, and Robert DoQui all pop up for a RoboCop reunion?

Keep watching.
