Your Random Kim Bauer Fix

Sure, her character is annoying, but lying there on a beach, I somehow can ignore those facts . . .

Not The Mandy Manilow Was Talking About

Chloe in Geek Mag

Mary Lynn Rajskub was featured in GEEK magazine this month. Blogs4Bauer was given inside access to one of the photos.

Check out the interview and the pictures here.


(Hat Tip - Gary)

Are you smarter than Kim Bauer?

Coming soon to Fox and Blogs4Bauer. The two hottest shows on Fox (24 and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader) are coming together to launch the biggest game show in the history of the world.

Are You Smarter Than Kim Bauer?

You may be able to predict what Jack Bauer will do next and you may also know how to count pronouns. But are you ready to match wits with Kim Bauer?

Next week, on Blogs4Bauer, we will post a question that Kim Bauer knows the answer to. If you cannot answer the question, you have to post a comment that states "I am not smarter than Kim Bauer".

Are You Smarter Than Kim Bauer? Prove it.

Oh Mandy . . .

I know it's about as hopeless as expecting Rex Grossman to complete a pass, but I would really like to see Mandy upset Kim Bauer in Monday's first round of Miss Blogs4Bauer. I mean, if she wasn't a contender, then why would Barry Manilow write a song about her?

Giggity! Alert

Maybe it's just me, but after seeing Jack's sister-in-law, I think he should pull a Martin Brodeur. Bonus points if you get the reference.

All Jacked Up

Or should that be "All Kim-ed Up"?

Guess who's liveblogging tonight's episode of 24?

In case the picture at the right did not clue you in, it'll be your favorite Kim Bauer afficionado—me, RFTR.

Even if she doesn't show up tonight (I'll be crossing my fingers that she does), you can bet that I'll be making as many references to the most excellent hottie (come on, that Arab chick from this season doesn't hold a candle to Kim—and Dessler? Puleeze...) this show has yet seen as I possibly can.

So get ready. I'll be back at 9pm Eastern for tonight's liveblogging.

I know I can't wait—can you?

(If not, you can keep yourself busy until then by visiting my full-time blog. In particular, I highly recommend my weekly "F'ed Up Fridays" feature.)

24 Point/Counterpoint

Point: My home is not a KinderCare

by Audrey Raines

It has been two years since I've last seen my boyfriend, Jack Bauer. In that time I have been an emotional wreck. Hell, since I met Jack I have been on an emotional roller coaster that seems to never stop. Now Jack wants to bring his love child into my home? Sorry Jack, my home is not a KinderCare. I can do better.

Since I started dating Jack Bauer, my husband was killed by Jack Bauer. Since I started dating Jack, my father (James Heller) has may have died. Since I started dating Jack, my ex-boyfriend (Walt Cummings) committed "suicide". Since I started dating Jack, my younger brother was accused of being a terrorist with bad hair, and was tortured by Curtis...who I also had a thing with while Jack was "gone" and is now dead. Bad things happen to people that I cared about while I dated Jack Bauer.

Oh, and I had my brachial artery severed while Jack and his former boss played grab-ass together. I should have listened to Dr. Phil last year, to hell with Mary Jo Buttafuoco!

Before Jack announces to me that he's planning on moving into my house with his little love child, Josh Bauer. I have to spring a little Dr. Phil's advice on him "...awareness without action is worthless". Sorry Jack, take your little boy elsewhere before I get too attached and the cute little bastard ends up dead.

Counterpoint: Keep Your Big Nose Out Of This!
by Jack Bauer

Nadia = Yummy!

Hopefully, she won't turn out to be a really annoying character like other hotties from past seasons. Yes, Kim Bauer, I am looking at you.

Yet Another Logo

I understand that new contributors are required to include a Kim Bauer pic with their first post. So, when I should have been doing other things I created this animated logo.

I have to have something to occupy my time for the next 121 hours.

Kim's Back

Check out the article in today's NY Post on the return of "Calamity Kim Bauer"

DEATHLOK FOUND KIM BAUER!!!

Attention 24 fans! My friend Deathlok found Kim Bauer!! It appears she has been vacationing in Turin. Check it out here.

Forget Nerve Gas, Kim's Missing!
Jack placed a call to CTU at 1:11pm to bring Kim in for her safety. Does this mean that Jack thinks her home was not equipped with those socket covers to keep her from sticking her fingers in or if a gang of cougars escaped from the LA zoo?

It's a proven fact that Jack Bauer takes approximately 4 minutes and 15 seconds to get anywhere in the Los Angeles area. If you throw in traffic on the 405, it could take up to 5 minutes. We know that Kim inherited most of her mother's accident prone qualities, while Jack only passed on his family's ability to talk to snakes. But surely some of Jack's time-bending genes should have been passed down. It seems that no one at CTU or Fox is alarmed that Kim has taken close to 2 hours to check in at CTU.

I took the initiative and alarmed the people at Fox (see below). Someone should tell Jack to ignore the order from Edgar to steal a batch of nerve gas-laced glazin-raisin pretzels from the abandoned Aunt Annie's booth and send out a search party ASAP.

Kim Bauer Kim Bauer Kim Bauer Kim Bauer Kim Bauer

According to IMDB, Kim Bauer makes her glorious return to 24 on February 6th (1pm-2pm).

We have Russian terrorists hell-bent on using nerve gas, Tony's drugged (again), Palmer and Michelle are dead, Edgar is expanding, Hobbits are running loose, and Chloe has displayed more attitude than an entire episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen. To say the least...CTU has changed since Kim last worked there.

Will Kim help or hurt the current situation? How?

Comparisons Kim v. Chloe

There seems to be alot of discussion here about Kim Bauer. Any red blooded American male can understand the discussion but what perplexes me is why those same red blooded American males do not mention Chloe O'Brian in the same breath...and then settle on Chloe as the real eye-candy on 24.

Maybe it's because I'm an old fat guy, but to me eye-candy has to have some solid mental accumine in there as well and I'm sorry but Miss Bauer just can't hold a candle to Chloe in that regard. Perhaps it's an age and experience thing. Miss Bauer is young and while she has experienced her share of trevails she still reacts as the innocents would in such situations...that being cowering and hoping someone comes to save them. The first time we see Chloe in a serious life threatening situation what does she do? Grabs the rifle and turns an otherwise new car into baby swiss cheese along with the barbarian inside it. Okay, so she's a little trigger happy, but it gets the job done. Excellent shooting at the refinery this season wouldn't you say?

Chloe also has that wonderful personality trait of cutting right to the meat of a point, usually preceded with biting sarcasm. One doesn't expect such a sharp tongue from such a sweet face. The best retort I've ever heard from Kim could have been gathered from the local cheerleading squad complete with Valley Girl inflection.

Yeah, if I'm not married(thank God I am) I'm interested in a Chloe O'Brian type. I guess I can overlook the laughable idea of a "proprietary CTU Algorithm" to break into Blowfish...well...no...I can't.

Almost 3 full days without a Kim Bauer-related post. What gives?
