"24: Redemption" - that's quality "24" television! :-)

"24 Redemption" certainly provided quality excitement in the "24" tradition for 2 hours, a nice resumption into the series that had been gone for 17 months.

I don't want to reveal too much because I know there are many around the world who have not seen it yet (UK fans can see it later tonight, while Australian fans won't see it until next week), but here are some elements that were in "24 Redemption":

- A lot of action, including guns ablazing throughout a good deal of the program.
- Jack being heroic, as usual. This includes his being tortured and essentially "sacrificing" himself (I'm referring to the final few minutes of "Redemption").
- Someone dying in the cause Jack is fighting for.
- Intrigue on the political front, from several different angles (involving former President Noah Daniels, new President Allison Taylor, and the mysterious Jonas Hodges).

I certainly found it to be a worthwhile beginning to a promising Season 7 of 24, which begins Sunday, January 11, 2009 on Fox. I can hardly wait for Season 7 to officially begin!
