Variety reports that Kiefer has signed on for three more years of 24. How is this even possible? They've killed off every last one of the good supporting characters and the plots are already completely absurd.

Pretty much the only thing left, as far as I can see, is a final, radical divergence with our universe. (Even moreso, I mean.) Jack's the last outlaw in a nuked-out L.A., fleeing the corrupt security forces of President Logan's fascistic America. His only ally? Zombie Tony.

Then the aliens show up.

Seriously, unless they do a prequel or midquel season so they can bring back Soulpatch and Palmer and Nina, where does this show still have left to go? (Via AICN.)
