Hair Gel Problem

I don't get the whole hair gel thing, I mean everybody is using it.

Hair Gel Problem: Part Deux



Speaking of hair gel, this guy lives with wolves. (Photo from NY Times.)
Jack may need to move into his hood after this very (very, extremely) bad day finally ends.

We're Not The Only Ones Who Think Jack's Very Bad Day is a Very, Very Bad Day!

Heather Havrilesky of Salon calls it "The Longest Day Ever".

"M", which season did we both stop watching? There was one season that "M" stopped watching after about 5 or 6 episodes..."A" lasted a few more than that. Maybe Season 4?
M's Comment: It was season three because I read the recap on Wikipedia (I love that site!) of major events and Sherry Palmer is DEAD TOO!!!

Of course, The 24 Blog is a kind of denial for us. If we're having so much fun poking at Jack and his cohorts, we don't have to admit that we have a problem: there might be no "there" there...

Say it ain't so.

On the other hand, though, after the Season We Quit, 24 came back strong. It's gonna be hard for a great comeback at this stage, though. So many of the great characters are gone (sob, we still miss Eggar) and others have been homogenized beyond the point of our interest (Chloe, Bill).

Say what you want about Michele and Tony. But self righteous Nadia and Milo the High School Sophomore...well they ain't no Michele and Tony!

And Jack has been turned into a snivelling whiner...because he wants his girlfriend back?

Havrilesky implies that old Jack would have killed his own Mom (not to mention handsome Curtis) to keep America safe. (Maybe that's what happened to Mom; Jack probably had some bad days before Season One!)

Now Jack is willing to risk the American people to recover Awwwdrey.

Thanks, Tai, for sharing the Salon article.
