24:” 8-9 a.m.”
It is certainly no kind of profound revelation that “24” has always been a pretty testosterone packed show where only Jack Bauer could save us from the terrorist filled world. Not to get all Feministe on you guys, but the ladies are generally either there to show us that:
a) No matter how strong of a female character they may be, the women in Jack’s personal life will always end up dead, crazy, or get written out of the show. Once they have served the purpose of showing Jack’s inability to have personal connections, they are no longer needed.
b) They are the “snakes in the garden,” to use Hastings expression from last night.
c) They are Chloe.
