TELL ME WHERE MY LIST IS! ... I'm RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
Well, I forgot my list of 56 things I thought I thought about while watching the slam-bang-hoo-hah-awesome two hours of 24 last night, so the normal Tuesday column's just gonna have to wait until tomorrow.
Instead, I'm going to discuss the X-Men 3 trailer, and how scared I am that this movie's going to suck. It starts and ends (though conveniently steps around the lame-looking Juggernaut) with the apparent death of Cyclops. Killing off the seminal X-Man, the team leader for somewhere around 40 years, to bite it just so we can establish that JEAN IS EVIL NOW, would be such a massively unnecessary move that there's a good chance I'd walk out of the theatre if they go through with it. There is absolutely no way that a war between Magneto and Xavier would (or should) ever occur where Scott Summers isn't on the frontline leading the good guys. I'm sorry, I don't care how "lame" people think Cyke (the ultimate company man/boy scout) is compared to the super badass Wolverine, there's no getting around that the team needs a strong, centered leader to command them. Taking Cyclops, who's been reduced to Jean's visored puppy lover in the first two movies, and killing him off so that we can move the spotlight over to Halle "Overrated" Berry and her new onscreen lover, Wolverine, is a farce.
I kow that 127% of you reading this now could care less, but I just needed to go on the record and explain why killing Cyclops is a major mistake. I'd rather get into it deeper, but I won't bore you. If you want me to be really interesting, ask me how I would've saved the Star Wars Trilogy.
Geekiest. Post. Ever.
I'll be back tomorrow with my musings on Jack Bauer-- now GO WATCH/or LISTEN TO THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, and root for TEAM USA, bitches!

ps: Linn's going to sacrifice himself next week. Write it down. Remember how the three rooms locked down were the Sit Room, the Clinic, and HOLDING. Methinks someone has to redeem himself.
