24 Review & A piece of humble pie!!!!!!!

November's TV movie 24: Redemption found Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer a chastened man. Helping orphans in Africa, he was hoarse not for the usual reason (barking orders), but from asking his Inner Good Guy for forgiveness for his CTU-agent sins.

24: Season 7 made its long awaited return to FOX in January and with 14 episodes into arguably the best season of 24 to date my disappointment of the teaser movie Redemption has now vanished as i countdown the days to the next episode week after week.

Season 7 started out with Jack facing a congressional hearing for torture crimes against the many international terrorists and domestic traitors that plagued the United States in seasons prior, as he was grilled by Senator Mayer about his actions as a CTU Agent the hearing was interrupted by FBI Agent Renee Walker (she is a dish by the way)

What has happened since has been thrilling, Tony Almeida is back from the dead to help Jack, Bill Buchanen sacrificed himself for the Presidents survival, Chloe is in custody... go figure!!! and now Agent Walker has been suspended and is currently in holding for helping Jack escape custody so that he can continue to solve to missing pieces of what is about to happen next.

I was pleasantly surprised that 24: cast John Voight in what appears to be a role for him as a domestic traitor killing innocent lives for the greater good.... so he puts it.

I am looking forward to the final 10 episodes in what i hope will be more exciting, thrilling and all about Jack saving the country once again.

24 is without a doubt one of America's hottest shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so i am going to eat a piece of humble pie here and say Liverpool deserved their win this past weekend at Old Trafford.......... only because we made mistakes and didn't finish our chances.

That's humble right? Anyway i don't think that defeat has cost us the title as so many people seem to think it has, yes we lost the game, but we are still 4 points clear with a game in hand at home v Portsmouth in April. This weekend sees us take the trip the Craven Cottage to take on a Fulham side that we blew away in the FA Cup 1/4 final. After last weeks humiliation i expect a response and if we respond with goals it could be a long day for Fulham as we look to put the lead back to 7 points for 24 hours at least.

Liverpool face a tough test at home to Villa who will be looking to get back in the race for 4th spot. C'mon Villa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later for now, enjoy the week
