Fox announced today that they plan to launch a reboot of 24 without Jack Bauer, which is sort of like Konami making Metal Gear Solid without Hideo Kojima. It’s just not going to work.

Last night's episode of 24 contained two important revelations.

Let's start with the good: last night's 24, like all episodes of 24, was crazy fun to watch.

JACK BAUER HAS FINALLY MET HIS MATCH..

From rowdy government officials to creepy terrorist sex cameras, 24 has it all. "Over the top" can't even begin to describe this wonderful, ridiculous television show.

It takes 41 minutes for Jack Bauer to talk in the newest episode of 24—and for each of those 41 minutes, you can't help but wonder if he's still got it. Is this still Jack Bauer? Are we still watching the living incarnation of video-game god-mode? Can this guy really save the world in under a day?

THE CLOCK IS TICKING, BAUER. On April 1, Netflix is removing 24 from their instant streaming services. That means you have just one week to catch up on the high-octane show before it comes back for a 12-episode limited run in May.

Today's Super Bowl was brutal to watch, even if you're a Seahawks fan (okay, maybe not if you're a Seahawks fan)—but at least there was one moment worth watching: Jack Bauer's first TV appearance since 2010, in this new teaser for 24: Live Another Day.

Jack Bauer will play Naked Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Konami just announced during their pre-recorded E3 press conference.
