Marvel comes out with a Pride and Prejudice comic.

Also? Annie Wersching (Renee Walker on 24) has gotta be one of the cutest fangirls of 24 ever. Apparently while she was filming scenes with Mary-lynn and Carlos, she would internally freak out about how she was "talking to Chloe and Tony." Also, she flew back to her hometown and hired out a local theater for all her friends and family to watch the premiere of 24. She even got a bunch of the cast and crew to say hello wherein you can see her acting like a kid in a candy store (one cast spoiler in that video, btw. It's out there in the media already, but just fair warning for the spoiler phobes.)

Anyway, I find Wersching's fangirl ways somewhat hilarious and totally endearing, which is great because it's nice that my favorite new character on 24 isn't played by a total jerk. Not that the cast of 24 isn't awesome, but it can happen. And I really like Renee's character. I can't figure out why just yet, but I do. Maybe it's because she's like the female counterpart to S1!Jack. Or maybe she's more like S1!Tony. I don't know, what do you think?

Aww, and here I had successfully suppressed Jen from my memory. Gah.

I wonder if I would be shipping them more if I had seen AW's picture and made the "OMG she looks like Teri, shoots like Nina, and acts like Michelle, of course Jack is going to fall for her" leap. So far, there's great chemistry between them, but I don't know if they're going in the romantic direction. It will be interesting to see if they decide to make Larry's clear romantic feelings for Renee one-sided, and maybe play it out like Bill/Michelle in S4? That could add a twist, because the actors are being awfully coy about whether Renee is a love interest or not for Jack.

Also, is it true that they actually filmed all the episodes of the season before the first one even aired? Because if so, that makes me feel a little bit better and gives me hope that this season is going to hopefully as cohesive as S1. So far, it's still firing on all cylinders, and I'm really glad that I've stayed mostly spoiler-free this season. I knew that Tony was back, that CTU was no more, and that they were basing it in DC (kinda hard to avoid, when they're shooting in your city). And I stumbled upon that casting spoiler in the video in this post. Beyond that though, I stayed away as much as possible, so it's making the ride pretty awesome to speculate again. Especially if the end is already written, filmed and in the can.

On a final note: have you seen this? The 24-hour News Cycle if 24 were real (http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1768810)

(Oooo ya'll from the gov'ment? Sorry. That's how my brain works. I work in market research, kinda.)

Aw, sorry, some things don't go away. Plus my friend's been revisiting it.

She also shoots like Michelle! Lets give credit here. Yes, the only slight problem is her age, which wouldn't be a problem if the 24verse wasn't like ten years in the future. I can't tell if it's one sided or not, I know she *trusts* him, which means uh, something. Probably.

YES! Everything's filmed. It's all donoe. They took a year to make it so there could be some interesting stuff comin' up. Did you get to see any filming? I got spoiled for parts of the first four or five eps, but I'm pretty much in the dark for most of the rest of it. Okay, I do know one or two things about returning person, but i'm vaguely focused.

Hee! I love this I just read: http://thejacksack.com/2009/02/24-poker-night.html

Hmm, Michelle was a good shot, but I suspect Nina was a faster draw and had more experience with guns. And Michelle never carried violence as easily as Nina, Jack, Curtis, and other field agents did/do due to years of training. Michelle was also not evil though so she had that going for her.

Yeah the age thing throws me. How old is Renee supposed to be? I know AW is about 5 years older than Elisha Cuthbert, but she could be playing Renee older the way Reiko did. Carlos and Reiko were 10 years apart in age, which is about the age difference between Kiefer and Annie.

Sadly, no I didn't get to see any filming because at the time I was writing my thesis. Also, I am a huge spoiler phobe and wouldn't want to get spoiled anyway. My friend, however, did get a chance to meet Kiefer since she was his waitress. Of course, she didn't know who he was at the time (she's not into TV, she's more into international development) so it didn't really register. Apparently he's a pretty good tipper.

Also, that link? AWESOME.
