My name is Fauna, and this confession is not in jest: A year ago, I binge watched seasons 1 - 3 of 24. I soon developed an intense emotional bond with Jack Bauer. Somewhere mid-sob in season 3, it hit me that my emotional investment in this fictional TV character just might put into question my already fragile emotional health and overall stability. There were no conclusive findings on this.... but my suspicions lingered, and so I went cold turkey on both the TV show, and the love of my life (edit: fictional love of my life) Jack Bauer. I have lived over a year now without Jack Bauer. But 2 days ago, I had a weak moment and started watching season 4. I am now on episode 8, and there is no turning back. Ive cried 4 times, have written 2 odes to Jack, and have covered my eyes in fear for Jacks life more times than I can count. There are 16 episodes left in Season 4, and still 4 remaining seasons on Netflix. I share this in both the hope and terror that someone will stage an intervention for me. Before it is too late. I will probably fight you, but, I will thank you once my healing starts. Thank you for your time friends. Now, I must return to Jack who is about to be a hero and die for his Country, but never fear, he wont die because I am willing him not to. And also because he stars in 4 more seasons after this one. Goodbye, and long live Jack Bauer. -FBG
