"Audrey, DON'T INTERFERE!!!"--Jack Bauer
By far the best show on TV. I work Mondays, so I miss it, but the miracle of DVR is working for me.
What strikes me this season is the lack of the annoying character ... you know, Kim, Chloe ... there was always someone who you didn't want to watch. But this season, every character, save Driscoll's crazy (an now dead) daughter, is vital and intricate to every plot. I already am planning on picking up season four on DVD.

Vitamin Z's Magnificent 7: Best 24 characters
1. George Mason
2. Jack Bauer
3. Nina Myers
4. Tony Almeda
5. Sherry Palmer
6. David Palmer
7. Victor Drazen

-If I were to cast a movie, Xander Berkeley would be in it somehow. George Mason's performance in season II even tops the always superb Keifer Sutherland. I haven't seen in much since George Mason was killed off on 24, and that's a shame.
