It's awesome this year! You've probably heard about Katee Sackhoff, Freddie Prinze Jr., the Slumdog Millionaire guy and Notes From the Underbelly and Jon Hamm's Jennifer Westfeldt joining, but, if you're an Alias and/or Heroes Season 2 fan (haha! Heroes Season 2 fan! I kid.), dreamy David Anders is also on board as a baddie. Oh, and Kim Bauer's husband from last season who ended up getting a job playing Boone's brother on Vampire Diaries is back for a minute or two as well. That roster reads like really bizarre and random fan fiction, but it's all true, folks.

Anyway, the premiere is a lot of fun (though Manhattan doesn't have nearly enough trees for Jack to hide in before screaming at and jumping on his prey), and I think setting up a very enjoyable season. I'm not sure if it's setting the stage for something mind-blowing enough to end the show on (if this even is the final year), but I didn't think Season 5 was going to be that great when Jack was disappointing Connie Britton and creeping around an airport for the first six hours, and look how awesome that season ended up being. Let's just watch some helicopters blow up and see how it goes for now.

24 returns with a two-hour premiere starting at 9 PM tonight on Fox (on account of Human Target premiering at 8), followed of course by another two hours tomorrow night from 8 to 10 PM.
