If 24 were a talk-show host, its name would be Absurdio Hall. Fox announced that in yet another inconceivable plot twist, felled CTU agent Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) will return from the dead in season 7 (premiering Jan. 13). Yeah, it's time to rate some of our favorite day-saving drama's more fantastic moments.
