with this two-hour teaser leading into the resumption of the regular series in January, Jack raises hell again, this time in Africa. that only leaves Australia and Antarctica as the continents where Jack hasn't killed anyone (am sure he may have killed a prisoner or two during his incarceration in China between Seasons 5 and 6).
escaping the long arm of the law, Jack can only run so far as he is still served with a subpoena in deepest Africa (tsk tsk, damn lawyers) - which he obviously flouts. reluctantly leaving his safe haven with an old friend Benton (the always underrated Robert Carlyle), who is running a school for kids, he only manages to take a few steps out the door before he is yanked back into saving the world again.
a coup d'etat funded by shadowy elements of the US government (well, who else is well-placed to do these things?) puts Jack and the kids on the run to the US Embassy (currently being evacuated a-la Vietnam), resulting in Jack being placed back in US custody.
24 has a knack for having insights into the future, as the new President takes office as these events happen, a Laura Bush look-alike taking over from Noah Daniels (Powers Boothe). remember, 24 even had two black presidents before Barack actually even won the office. of course, let's just skip the fact that one was assassinated and the other one injured.
with even more skulduggery afoot (Jon Voight reprising his role in Enemy of the State), Jack will have to bail us out again, within twenty four hours. there isn't time, dammit!
wow. there's a Carly Pope sighting. been awhile, girl.
