Jack Bauer needs a change of scenery, so where should he go?
TV Guide's report that 24 writers are "seriously considering" moving Jack Bauer to a new city for his next very bad day -- otherwise known as season 7 -- got me to thinking.
If I were to pick a city in which to unleash America's intrepid terrorist fighter, which one would it be?
My first thought was Boston. During the great siege of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Lite-Bright boards that prompted a shut-down of large parts of the city earlier this year, Boston certainly could've used Jack Bauer to beat back those nefarious cartoon characters. Plus, I could definitely see a scene with Jack using Fenway Park as a place to rendezvous with a terrorist, who would, of course, be wearing a Yankees cap.
Or it might be fun to send Jack to New York City where he could meet up with the folks from Heroes and tell them he's takin' back Monday nights. Dammit! Plus, the dude who absorbs everyone's superpowers and is shown blowing up like a nuclear bomb in some Heroes scenes is a threat to national security.
There's always Washington, D.C., where Jack could go all political and beat the stuffing out of anyone who wants to reduce the black ops budget or cut back on CTU funding.
What do you think? Where should they set season 7?
