most dangerous female alive. Not only is she a heady mix of stupid and self-absorbed, she's got Jack Bauer as a father – who tries to make up for his shoddy parenting by basically letting her do whatever she wants. As a result, she Mister Magoo's her way through life, somehow surviving through sheer luck while, oh, say, Valencia, CA gets nuked.
So it's a testament to the character that in last night's pretty solid season-7 primer "24: Redemption," she can somehow kill a man while being thousands of miles away.
Let's backtrack: Jack's friend Benton steps on a landmine while trying to keep a young African boy from doing the same. Which he was about to do, because he wandered away from the rest of the group to go get a scarf that was snagged on a bush. This is a scarf he was allowed to keep by Jack. A scarf that Jack had bought with the intention of giving to his daughter. So: Because Jack bought Kim a gift, a good man died.
Despite being a continent away (and entirely off-screen), Kim Bauer Blew A Guy Up. If you ask me, out of all the messed-up things Jack Bauer's done (cutting off a guy's head, chopping off his partner's hand, shooting another partner in the throat, torturing his girlfriend's innocent ex-husband)…by fathering Kim Bauer, Jack may have doomed us all. Which just goes to show you: Every atom of Jack Bauer is dangerous. Even - no, especially - his sperm.

Whatever comment I was about to leave has been swallowed by my brain while it was busy concentrating on Elisha Cuthbert's insane levels of hotness. Um..."24: Redemption" ruled. Kim:hot::Jack:kickass.
I still can't wait for season 9, when Kim's the arch villain.
In the meantime, I hope they toss in a line when Elisha Cuthbert guests this season, about how she was no longer living in Valencia when it BLEW UP.
