weaktwosSo I have this problem with season 6 of 24.
So, Jack Bauer's father is played by James Cromwell. Sure, Cromwell can play a bad guy. Here he is, involved in the President Palmer's assassination, the nuclear bomb, and killing his own son. He was even a jerk General in the General's Daughter. Despite that, all I can think of whenever I see him is his role as Farmer Hogget in "Babe".
So Philip Bauer(Cromwell-Hoggett) is using his own grandson as a hostage to save his own bacon. He's largely a dispicable ass.
And yet, all I can see is him dancing around in Farmer Hoggett's house, trying to get Babe's spirits up singing,
If I had words to make a day for you
I sing you a morning golden and new
I would make this day last for all time
Give you a night deep in moon shine
Don't get me wrong, Cromwell is a talented actor. But once you're caught doing a cute little Moulin Rouge number for a piglet, it's hard to live down. Maybe it's me, especially since I'm a sentimental sap and I adored that scene in "Babe".
And the image just won't leave my head.
It's just harshing my hardcore 24 experience.
If I had words...oh, here it goes again.

I have forgotten Enterprise lore already, I did not remember that Cromwell was on there.
