• Scenes where Jack was ruthless = every other scene minus at least 3
• Times that "A" was Wrong = 1
• Women proven to be stupid tonight = 0
• Women proven to be evil tonight = 0 (although, we're pretty sure about the Evil Veep's blonde factotum. (Or is it "factota"?)

Signing off for now...

COME ON How many times

can they use the 25th Amendment?!?!?!?!? They have to come up with something new!!

And as "A" mentioned he is a resilient bastard, like Walker and Tucker from Cliffhanger, one of our favorite B movies.

Thanks for reading tonight! It was one of the better 24's in recent weeks! I still worry about Jack's floating rib fragments and internal bleeding, but he like the president is a resilient bastard. I miss Curtis, he was resilient until Jack got him.

Principal Wood, I mean Pres Palmer

YAY!!!! You are in big trouble evil Veep!

I'm so relieved that the Handsome president wasn't killed off!

Gradenko, you know what I'll do

Gradenko is an Easy Mark

They haven't even done anything medical to him yet!

Oh, please. They all want amnesty on 24. Once you give it to one guy, everyone's gonna be whining for it. (But doesn't Gradenko know...things don't usually end well for people Jack gets amnesty for.)

The Evil Veep, staying the course. And his blonde toady, could she be more obviously sinister?

"W"! W is for Waking up! Oh, is the 28 year old president going to fire the Evil Veep????

W is also for wrong. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I hope.

Medical Interrogation! Get Me My Man Purse!

Oh, if only Curtis were here to share this moment with Jack.

No Tony, no Curtis, no wingman to get Jack his man purse at this moment of (relative) glory...the capture and interrogation (medical, natch) of Gradenko.

(And no Audrey. Although "M" and I know she's not dead, Jack isn't letting on that he knows this.)

No wonder Jack is in a World of Pain (WOP)!

And was that Fayed they shot in the neck? And who was the 3rd hostile in the truck? I would have had to sign off if they had killed Brady; thankfully, even 24 isn't that tasteless.

Jack tell him to tie his shoe

Bend over!!!

COME ON!!!

The code team would be in the room with him! For heaven's sake, he is the President of the UNITED STATES!!!

OK, This is Inadvisable Discretion

Jack is talking the sweet impaired savant guy through a meet with Gradenko????

Nucular, nucular, nucular.

Brady, take a dive!

Listen Nadia,,,

I knew you weren't guilty Nadia, because I'm the evil one! Smoochy smoochy. Gradenko, DH reminds us, is going to be there in 20 mintues. No time for hanky panky! That and where they are is surrounded in windows, giving CTU a nice peep show

Nadia, Get Back to Work!

Bill, you've got that yogic touch, go with the motivational speech here.

(Of course, Milo probably coached him...he just got back from the Seven Habits of Highly Effective CTU staffers seminar.)

Milo's feelings for Nadia are now out in the open. Someone's gonna get hurt when we find out that one of them is a bad guy.

"Dammit!" Smoooch. Eew. (Ok, maybe they are just now the new Tony and Michelle. But I gotta tell you two kids -- CTU relationships start cute, but they never end well.)

Milo vs. Doyle

Milo is so evil I bet!!! Nadia, I don't think that she is evil or stupid, just unlucky!

Brady, the new Eggar

I think Brady is going to be the next Eggar?

Where's Jack's Dad, Anyways?

What happened with the whole Bauer clan?

Mark is a good liar. Oh, no. Don't tell me that Jack is actually going to send Brady to meet with Gradenko? This is just too much.

And who is this slick-looking guy? Oh, he's the plot device that proves Nadia is not guilty. And now Doyle and Milo are having a Jack and Tony kind of moment.

And now, another possible bad guy, the slickster.

"M" says : Hubby thinks that Brady is a dead man!!!! Not a good idea. I agree, he will say something about Jack the nice police officer.

What the heck....

There are too many characters! This new guy on loan from Central? He owes Ricky big from Denver? What the heck happened in Denver???

This is a photo from the April 2003 snow storm that canceled our trip.

"M", Did Jack Just Say "Nucular"

Thank goodness you have Tivo. I can't rewind, please check this!

Yes, "M" confirms it. Kiefer just said "nucular". I know he's pronounced it correctly before.

But I guess if the leader of the (real, not TV) free world can't be convinced to pronounce the word correctly, why should Jack Bauer be consistent?!

The Hubby said Tender Jack

He's being so tender and yet I bet he will be ruthless, with MARK!

I sense a medical interrogation. Where is his manpurse?

Jack, Don't Medically Interrogate the Impaired Guy

Oh, thank goodness. Jack is being tender with Brady.

Mark, what a total jerk.

(Maybe Brady will come to work at CTU after Milo gets outed as a bad guy.)

And Mark has "some arterial bleeding"? Haven't these guys even had CERT training? Pressure, man -- put pressure on it and get him to a trauma center ASAP.

Hahahahaha

The Evil Veep is talking policy with a doctor? (NB: his face isn't moving at all.)

(And would Sandra have power of attorney over the 28 year old President of the United States? I kind of find that straining my "discretion".)

Can anyone tell what country that is supposed to be?

Is it just called "Fayed's Country"?

Here's Sandra. Where IS Walid?

And yet another black man is going to flatline on 24.

"M" and I can't even take prediction points for that one.

After all, they offed Curtis.

Sandra, don't listen to her!!!! Wayne would want you to help him to live! This is irrational. He'd want you to be rational, too. Just because he's 28 doesn't mean he is stupid.

"M", You're So Right!

Either Fayed or Gradenko is going to have to ride that tiny little plane until it hits its target!

(But not if Jack can help it.)

Yawn. I'm a bit over the Fayed vs. Gradenko smackdown, aren't you?

data stripping?

They would NOT be doing that in the field. They would take it back to the lab and make a copy of the hard drive and NOT be working on the laptop at the site.

Boy that light is not flattering to Ricky at all

Mark is a bad bad man

That is horrible to use his idiot savant brother, Brady! Mark is a bad bad man

Fayed vs. Gradenko

I think that Fayed is going to make Gradenko do a Slim Pickens on the nuke!!!

"Viewer Discretion is Advised"

This is a phrase that has so many layers of meaning.

I'm sorry, but if I were truly exercising my discretion, I probably would have quit Jack and the whole Bauer clan sometime in the middle of season one.

Whoops, who is this? Jack's other brother? Or is it the CTU mole? he looks vaguely government issue...oh, he's the guy who has to take care of his handicapped brother, so he needs to do illegal things in order to be able to pay for his rent and care.

Oh, and his brother is some kind of mentally challenged savant who can access files on the CTU mainframe?

"Viewer discretion" indeed!

Confirmed: All the lovable characters die

David Palmer, Egger, Curtis (by Jack's own hand!), even Terri wasn't horrible and I actually do miss Nina. You loved to hate her.... I wonder who will be next. I hope it's not Morris. I think he is dreamy too.

PS I'm putting a perimeter around my dinner. I'll be back shortly after it starts!

What Will Audrey Look Like?

When she gets out of Chinese prison? (I insist! She can't be dead.)

(And I can't resist the side by side of Kiefer's Dad and Jack, just out of Chinese prison...)

Bloop, bloop, tick, tock! I'd better finish off the laundry, it is almost time for 24!


"M" actually snorted she was laffing so hard!! Great one "A".
