Ah, it's great to have Tony back in action. But WTF is up with his bitch "friend"??? He went from Michelle to that?? No wonder he's so upset! Jack did say Michelle works for another division now so maybe that means she will be on the show this season. Sweet!
I'm not a big Edgar fan but I must admit, it was pretty cool when he busted Marianne. That bitch went runnin! I bet Driscoll feels like shit after zapping the hell out of Sarah! Damn snipers! They seem to always be at the right place at the right time. Jack had just captured that dude and then *BAM*! Sniper on the roof! He probably could have taken both Jack and Tony out and save the dude but he shot him in the chest instead. Jack must be thinking, "If I had a nickle for every time that's happened...". So it looks like one of the nuclear power plants is going to meltdown next week. Sweet! Damn, this show kicks ass!

So, when they showed the map of the power plants that refused to come under control of CTU Edgar's hacking, they zoomed in on the Oregon portion of the map. I got to thinking, "there's no reactor in that part of Oregon! That's almost exactly where I am at!"
Then I remembered the experimental reactor here on campus. Oregon State University, REPRESENT'N!!! ps; down with Aisha (ctu mole)!! biatch!

Bladder Control
I do love much of 24 (I'm back to being a fan - last year's kind of jumped the shark for me). I do wish that they'd show SOMEBODY having to go to the bathroom, though. Talk about bladder control!

Well, we all knew it was coming, right? Ahhh, the classic car bomb. I have to admit, it didn't really surprise me all that much. I remember a few weeks ago? when she finished her phone call to ???. Marianne was worried about being compensated/caught and the guy told her not to worry, "you know I'll take care of you...." or something like that. I just knew something wicked was in store for the mole. Two more disjointed thoughts... I really dislike the new 'assistant' that's been brought in for the Defense Secretary as well. I wonder if Sarah will be back next week. I mean, how could she possibly continue to work for Driscoll after Driscoll had her zapped and drugged? (By the way, some horrendously bad acting in that episode from the gal who plays Driscoll.) Looking forward to next week's episode.

I liked tonight's episode a lot, especially the last 15 minutes or so. Once you knew that the shit was gonna hit the fan at the hospital, with everyone converging there, I was really curious how things were gonna turn out.
Man, with 24, you never know who's gonna be offed. I really have no idea who's (not) gonna get out of the hospital alive. Possible casualties: Behrooz, Navi, Dina, Tony. At least one of 'em has to go, but it really could be any of them. And I loved the last line of the show, with Jack saying "You got that?"... pretty hilarous

Last night's episode was kinda weak in my mind. I guess they have to use the odd show to set up for the big pay off next week, but so far this was the slowest episode so far this season. Maybe I shouldn't really complain.
I'm guessing we're going to see an appearance by Michelle (Tony's ex-wife) next week as the enigmatic "Division" is being called in to deal with all the security breaches at CTU today. That should be awesome. My money is on Tony getting shot and dying in Michelle's arms.

he's fuckin Jack Bauer. He already died once, but he was way too badass for death, and he came back to life. He's been shot, he's been killed, he's been beaten, tortured, burned, taser'd , and lord knows what else.
Ain't nothin gonn' stop Jack Bauer. Only 6 Days, 8 Hours and 50 Minutes until the next Jack Bauer Power Hour. So, as Joe Swanson would say.... BRING IT ON!

did anyone else think he was gonna go into some super-torture-mode before he talked to Navi? i was a bit creeped out when he went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face first, as if he was cleaning himself up before it was time to get dirty.
then he went the sympathetic route. hmph.

He had no qualms shooting that guy in the leg. Over at CTU they hardly flinched to stick that thing on the Defense Secretary's son and taser Sarah, but they suddenly see the need to go the sympathetic route with Navi (Is that her name?) and Behrooz. So many, many things that were bad in that episode. So many, many things that had me rolling my eyes back into my head. Why take the kid's mom to the hospital in the first place? She was safe and secure at the hotel. Why risk another sniper attack (I know, plausability, but the sniper attack at the helicopter wasn't all that plausable either, eh?)? For that matter, once things spiraled out of control and the father took his son hostage, why drive her down there? Why not cart her ass back to CTU and introduce her to the 'Taser Guy'? Jack rolling off the car relatively unharmed was almost believable in comparison. Oh, so weak the show this week was. I hope they bring it back up to par with next week's episode. And that sub-plot with Edgar was just....so....horrible.....

Another weak transition episode last night.
Too bad Baroos capped is old man, tho I doubt he would have given up much information even with Driscoll's "tazer to the neck technique." ...and you just knew that Audrey's ex-husband was the source of all this trouble.

So...angry...can't type...how angry I am. My power went out at 8 last night and didn't come back until 10:30. So yeah, I missed 24. I read a recap on their web site but it's just not the same! Grr...

Oh, to hell with it, btefnets.org has it available. It's bit torrent and usually pretty fast. Last nights episode was sub par, but certainly wasn't horrible. At least Sarah coming back to work wasn't screwed up. She's just looking out for number one and that, at least, is a lot more believable than the 'come help us win one for the country.' The only real problem I had was the Marianne thing. I understand they had to get her out of the building, but come on, something a bit more plausible than 'it's thumbprint protected.' Why not just send a team to bring the computer back? For that matter, why not just cut off the dead guys thumb and talk to Marianne over the phone? Better yet, why not cut off Marianne's thumb, you know, just for fun? Why did that creepy white guy come with them to kill Marianne? He must have enormous faith in those two guys to put himself in harms way to grab a single CTU agent. And finally....Oh Paul, Paul, Paul. You had to piss off Jack. The man who single handedly saved the Sec'y of Defense and his daughter, shot a suspect for information, tackled a car and got right back up to slide three stories down a laundry chute to take on a cornered terrorist. I just don't think you know who you're messing with. That little tap he gave you is small potatoes, son. Small potatoes.

Why haven't I found this thread sooner?
I expected more from Jack. Taking out Paul like that seems a little unprofessional. I though he was gonna cuff him to a chair BEFORE pistol whipping the guy. And he better know something. If he's inocent, Audury's gonna be pissed.

I was dissapointed that Behrooz shot his dad. This whole season, we've seen Behrooz be this incredibly courageous kid standing up against his dad... then he unneccesarily shoots his dad in the back. It was the first cowardly thing he's done, and I wish he hadn't.

As for Jack Pistol-whipping Paul, part of that was Jack showing how serious he is, and part was him being pissed at a man putting his loved one in danger yet again. He's gotta be getting tired of that. Soooo many kidnappings and betrayals for the man we call Jack.

Well, in the 24 tradition, always kill the best lead. Which is too bad. I enjoy the idea of a terrorist family. Discussing the train robbery over breakfast is something to remember. I was hoping for a father and son shoot-out with Jack. But after Barooz killed a guy with a blunt object, that hope faded.
And when will Nina make her yearly apperance?

And I wasn't surprised that they killed off Behrooz's dad, I was pretty sure his number was up very soon in the standard 24 way of things. I just didn't like the way it happened... it kinda compromised Behrooz's character to kill his dad in cold blood.
