Hail Jack Bauer

I'm not a Wienerite but '24' is very much art. No, not the script, which is nothing we haven't seen before - just more of it compressed into a smaller timeframe. But anyone who has ever handled a camera can do nothing but admire the brilliant cinematography which is more innovative than anything I've seen since Armageddon (feel free to disagree with me, but anyone who can shoot a coherent if highly contentless movie with shots that have an average length of 1.5 seconds is innovative to me). I'm not sure how many takes they have to do for every scene, but it seems like an absolute nightmare to direct/film/edit this kind of stuff. Add to that the minimalist music, which is not exceptional but nevertheless exceptionally effective, and you get the best thriller series ever. Period.

(Oh, and on a less than intellectual level: does anybody else think Jack finally got some well-deserved recognition (from Audrey, from Derek, and from CTU) in Monday's episode?)
