'24' adds Starbuck, starts Sunday

[Joe Fan]

The new season starts Sunday with 4 hours over 2 nights.

Katie Sackoff joins and, as one might expect, she is "not all that is advertised. She has a past." Likewise, she is doing some guy from the office (former teen heartthrob Freddie Prinze Jr).

Jack's trying to be a good grandpa these days.

And the hot redhead is back.

From articles I read as part of being a BSG fan I learned that she and Tricia Helfer (aka Six) are good friends and hang out together. I think they like to ride horses. Imagine happening across that duo someday riding around?

I wonder if someone who did not watch the show would even know who they were? Neither has really had exposure elsewhere.

Ok. I want to *start* watching this show. But I haven't seen an episode yet. Is this like Lost where I will be completely, uh, lost, or is it worth jumping right in? There's no way I have time to watch all the previous seasons DVD.

Try reading the wikipedia synopsis.

Each season of 24 stands on its own, but there might be some backstory you will miss out on. If it's essential to the overall plot, they will explain it.

Seems like Starbuck walks oddly. Sort of stilted. Anyone else notice that?

Chloe is one of the best characters on television. She makes some great faces. She laid a nice guiltrip on Jack. As a former govt. employee, I could easily see running into someone like her in the office. Govt. work atttacts oddball personalities like that.
