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
"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.

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".

Previously on 24 7 - 8 PM
Previously on 24... Jack is getting checked out by the medics and they determine that he was electrocuted and his brains were missing when he used his gun on the electrical panel in the Russian Consulate.
No wait, that is what should have happened, instead they discover that he has probable internal bleeding. Will that stop our Jack, NO! Thank goodness.
He goes over Audrey's file. Soon he will realize that it isn't her (innie vs. outie). Maybe that will be day 7. When going Jack is going to medical, he runs in to Marilyn who has regretted that things didn't work out between them differently. Smouldery glances are exchanged.
Chloe warns Milo and Nadia about Nadia using Milo's security clearance. We at The 24 Blog are left wandering when we are going to find out whether or not Nadia is evil or stupid. Chloe only gives them a very stern warning and lets them keep going with what they are doing.
The drone is still in the air and CTU loses it, making the Evil Veep very angry. The Evil Veep also wants to retaliate on a country that really doesn't seem to have anything to do with this whole mess. Karen returns from the airport after abandoning her post. She has had a blow dry and read several magazines (O, Real Simple, Yoga Journal -- Bill is a yogi!) at the airport. Which still surprises us: there were commercial flights on a day where there was a nuke that went off, but I digress. Karen is back in the picture and she is going to protect our 28-year-old president's interests.
Milo is worried about Morris and thinks that he has been drinking. He asked Chloe to check Morris' breath and she does so by planting a big ol' smoocher right on the smacker. When Morris asks what that was for, she states that she was just checking his breath. I found this very funny, tongue in cheek, if you will. She tells Milo that Morris is just fine.
Shortly thereafter, Chloe discovers that the drone pilot has a mole INSIDE CTU.. Say it isn't so Chloe!!!! They trace it back to Nadia's workstation of course and we were hopeful for another medical interrogation by Doyle. He is no Jack and doesn't pull it off. Here is where I was left wandering if she was an innocent pawn of Milo. I think that he has something going on ....
They get the address of the drone pilot's location and Jack gets a PDA and a phone, and is on Point with his internal bleeding with Doyle as his wing man. I think that he decided that he can bleed internally on his day off. Jack saves the day, mostly by using skills honed in the shopping mall arcade in the early 80s. The drone is landed but they have some radioactive leakage. The first responders have a Geiger counter, but no protective gear on.
The evil Veep orders the nucular strike on the country even though Karen AND Tom agree that it was an averted attack. The Evil VEEP disagrees. Karen finds out that if they bring the Prez out of the coma they can cancel the retaliatory attack. She goes to find the Prez's sister. Yes Sandra is back, but where is Walid?
"A" Did I miss anything?
"A" says:
Imagine any world leader wanting to retaliate against a country that has nothing to do with an attack! Imagine that. The only other thing is that the creepy ex-President Logan appears to be dead.
I feel a need to elaborate on Jack's response to the smoldery glances between Marilyn and him...didn't he have regret about things not working out differently, too? (Even though the historical probability of working out neatly for Jack, Marilyn and Bauer Spawn offers me some timing difficulties, since around the time Jack's nephew/son was born, Jack would have been married to the gullible but not evil Teri, and the stupid but not evil Kim would have been a mere toddler. Not just timing difficulties, but what about time machine type of considerations: if Jack had dumped Teri for Rena, I mean Marilyn, there would have been no season 1!) But I digress. Jack forgets all of the smoldering and the math in his enragement about Audrey's "death".
Oh, yeah, and I'm fine with showing our world leaders as incompetent boobs, but there isn't a first responder in the country who would have gone near that firey downed drone with just a geiger counter, and clipboard, and not even wearing any gear. (The guy with the geiger counter was just wearing a shirt!) Is it too much to ask that the writers at 24 show a little respect?
(Although, in the final analysis, other than Jack, is there anyone the writers do seem to respect?)

Bauer Yoga: Anantasana
Here's Jack, in a preparatory variation for the pose Anantasana. It's a nice side stretch, helps to develop balance, and is accessible to yogis at all levels.
You can see how relaxed he is, too. That's another benefit of yoga!Here's the full pose, beautifully and precisely shown by one of the yogis of East Clare Yoga, in County Clare, Ireland.

The Firm: What Company Does Jack's Dad Own?
A recent story on NPR's Fresh Air:
I listened to the story, which you can hear online, but it was also on a recent podcast of NPR's most emailed stories. It was quite compelling; I couldn't stop thinking about how intertwined TV and reality really are.
Blackwater USA is a secretive private army based in North Carolina with a sole owner: Erik Prince, a right-wing Christian multimillionaire. Jeremy Scahill talks about his book Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.

"The News Has A Way Of Closing In On Popular Culture"
Good article in March 20, 2007 NY Times about how current and recent wars have been represented on TV.
Why is it a good article?
Because it agrees with me! Sad but true: TV isn't just our mirror...it is also our leader.

Split Screen Montage
Evil Veep, disappointed that he can't blow up some of our enemies.
But no! The untold environmental damage he speaks of? There's a good side to the Veep, he's "green" and concerned about the environment?
Evil Veep is very, very evil. Will "W"'s guys really just roll over and do what Evil Veep says to do? Oh, please.
Karen's gonna be thinking about waking up the suffering 28 year old president!

PUT OUT THE FIRE
They can do that from farther way and WHHYYYYY wasn't hazmat with them already! Good-ness our guys are much better than that!
OK, That Was 30 Seconds of Good TV
Those were some cool effects.
I'm worried about the first responders, though. No way they're prepared to go in and recover the suitcase.
(whew, thank goodness they had geiger counters. But it can't be good that the suitcase nuke is on fire, can it?)

HAHAHAHA
Jack is going to save the day by flying the drone. hahahahahaha PERIMETER Ricky should have taken over. He probably spent more time in the arcades.
Yes, let's park this thing in a residental area. Good they didn't.
The Hubby and I agree, they should have crashed it in the ocean!
CRASH and BURN

Jack's In Charge
Thank goodness! I worry about Ricky's impulse control issues.
Go get that cute balding terrorist. (He's a babe, but sometimes they've just got to go.)
Now Jack's gonna play the video game. He's gonna have to navigate the suitcase into the ocean.
