Anyone else have the shakes?

Going through "24" withdrawal.

Monday nights were sacred time with Jack Bauer. He is now on a slow boat to China, being tortured, while we are being tortured by not having "24" back on until January, 2007. What, is this "The Sopranos"?

A suggestion to the writers -- VERY glad that Kim Bauer did not play a major role this year. I am quite certain that she is a very nice young actress, but I don't think anyone on planet Earth ever had such rotten luck as Kim Bauer.

And come on, you have to love Jean Smart as the First Lady. Redeemed at last! Was it just me, or were there some sparks there between Aaron the Secret Service guy and Jean Smart?

Finally, what is the vote on Audrey? She is FAR better than most of Jack's lady loves, but I'm still not digging her too much. At least she isn't completely helpless, but ya know, there is some factor missing from her that is close to annoying.

At any rate, January, 2007. A lifetime away, friends.
