Welcome to the January 22, 2009 edition of the Carnival of Bauer!!! (been such a long time coming!)

We needed a week to get our act together after last week’s stunning four-hour premiere, but we’re raring to go.

We’ll start off with the man himself, Jack Bauer, who recaps the episode in his inimitable fashion TivoBlogging: The Following Takes Place Between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM posted at Blogs4Bauer. Not sure what everyone’s new nickname is for the season? They’re all here. And as mean as it might seem to call Alison Taylor President Cankles, it’ll still make you giggle.

Next up, you know you missed it – we all did – Adam over at The Jack Sack gives us a 24 picture book, “Renee Walker tracks down a rare DVD.” If you don’t laugh, you have no sense of humor. By the way, President Cankles has much better taste in movies than her husband.

Wesley M. gives us a peek at what 24 would be like if it were, say, a celebreality dating show. With Nina Meyers to boot. Check it out at 24 Shots at Love: The Lost Episode posted at In My Copious Free Time.

Jarett Wieselman waxes poetic about Agent Walker and her Baueristic tendencies – and he’s also loving Janis Gold, whom he dubs the New Chloe, which I would say might possibly be accurate, except that Old Chloe is still around, hello!!! – in his post I’m Loving “24’s” Female Jack Bauer posted at POPWRAP.

Then, there’s me. First off, I’m still all confused about what happened to Agent Walker. Is she dead? Alive? The silent clock, for the first time, may have lied. Bastards. Check out my thoughts on the matter at 24: Silent clock subterfuge? And here’s my overall thoughts on Day 7, after seeing the four-hour premiere.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of bauer!!! using our carnival submission form. Past and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
