I Actually Don't Trust Bridezilla

I think that she's the real Blonde Toady.

"M": I think she is preggers and Chloe is getting WAY annoying!

Oh, Please

And wouldn't Mme. President's Secret Service detail want her both disclosing the threat to Hassan, and to get the heck out of his orbit?

This is very silly.

I'm also taking umbrage with the story line about Chloe being a loser in the workplace.

(And Hassan's hairdo? Jack Lord.)

I concur on all counts! A dammit!!!

Hour 1 Recap

"A" yawning = About 18 times
Improbable NYC street scene = 1
Dammit =2 (M counted 4)
Bauer Kills = 2 (they were quality per M)
Women proven stupid = 0
Women proven evil =0
Times wished Eggar were still with CTU and Alive = innumerable
(And I didn't even get into the breach of diplomatic, security and all other worlds of protocol -- including good manners: Mme. President isn't going to tell the Islamic Republic President that there's a supposedly credible death threat?)
Dead Black Men = 0 (Hastings, I think we can agree that your days are numbered....you're both handsome and African-American.)

Things are going to have to pick up. A lot! I got pretty excited when Jack said "Dammit" and "A" missed it!!!

A New Blonde Toady?

Only this one's really, really eeeevil?

Two quality kills by Jack!!

Nice use of a fire ax!!! Quality!

Dammit during the gun fight...

Another dammit by Jack! during the gun fight. I have the close captions on so I read it too. I can't have the TV too loud because of the kiddies

This is What I'm Talking About

First gunfight...and how did Victor get so perky all of a sudden? He was passed out!

Tower of Babel

Well, not quite. But it appears that every family member of in the President of the Islamic Republic has a different accent.

(And his younger brother looks like a character in a Bollywood film. I'm half expecting him to break into song!)

Jack, You Shoulda Hopped a Cab

This must be the longest 5 blocks ever...it's usually a block a minute on foot.

(Unless they're crosstown blocks, which doesn't seem logical given the destination is a heliport, should be on the river, and Jack started out pretty far west.)

Ah, the old field hospital in an unlikely alley-ish area. This can't have been filmed on location? Jack, I'm skeptical about you making that flight!

Jack had a Dammit!!!

He said Dammit when his informant collapsed in the garbage pile! I think "A" missed it!!! But now I"ve lost count... too tired!

Yawn.

Stretch.

There's a lot of setting up going on. Only 2 dammits, Jack hasn't even discharged his weapon...

Hmmm.

Who Is Jack Bauer?

What rock has that guy been under?

"M": aw, give the kid a break, what is he... 12??

And CTU, Back in Business?

Dammit! Second dammit, Chloe.

Sweet office!!!!!

Brothers From Another Planet?

Or at least two different countries...they have totally different accents.

"M" Says: it soulnd like he's saying "I've done nothing weckless"

Really? Now is that weapon safety?

The guy that got shot, just placed a cocked gun in his pants after stalking and skulking outside Jack's building. REALLY?

Tony?

I can't remember if he's dead or not...

I'm Laffing

Ah, that middle eastern long-haired kid, not so disarming. Just the kind of repartee that takes place in these meetings.

And not-so-evil Ethan, back by the side of President Cherry.

It looks like we're on the verge of peace!

(But what was that shifty look that Ethan gave?)

And the Bauer family is making like the Brady bunch.

(Things can't be this smooth for Jack, though, can they?)

Serious hair gel moment says "M"

First Dammit

From someone who appears to be a bad guy.

Auspicious.

Season 8?

Oh, crap. You mean Jack didn't die at the end of last season?

We have to spend another day of our lives with Jack, Kim, Chloe? Madame President? (Will we see Oilivia in an orange jumpsuit?) What about Janeane/Janis -- is she in or out?

Renee, stupid or evil, yawn?

I can't remember if Will Patton is dead or not. "M" and I totally heart Will. If he's back, I'm in...otherwise, I'm Missouri. Jack and his little team are going to have to show me.

Aw, is Jack getting teary?

I think he's going to cry!!! I guess 7 days of getting tortured, poisoned, beat, shot, blown up has taken it's toll on poor Jack. He said not my problem about three times.
