Jacks back and it looks like he's pissed

Today we stand on the eve of the return of 24, the event that most of us have been longing for, "as the deer pants after the water brook".

The Washington Post gives us a sneek peek:

Jack comes back to the United States after spending two years in a Chinese gulag to find:

America has become a hellish terrorist landscape -- bus bombings here, train attacks there, bodies stacking up (it's fantasy, yes, but it feels uncomfortably plausible).

And he sets to work dealing with the situation:

To escape from his captors in the first hour of the new season, a manacled Jack (Kiefer Sutherland, ever intense and husky of voice) kills an adversary by biting him on the neck. And not just any old Dracula, I-vant-to-suck-your-blood kind of bite on the neck. The death-by-molars scene is played in close-up, with gurgling, grunting, ripping and tearing noises filling the soundtrack. It's topped off by Jack spitting out a big ol' piece of his victim.

Just think what Jack could have done if he had his cell phone.

I know not what course others may take, but as for me and my house we will be watching Jack!
