Minifig Comes Through! And Now, Here's Jack!

Minifig, you rock!

And gentle readers, be sure to click on the image above; it is only with the larger picture that you can get a good look at the size of Jack's gun!
(I'm a little concerned for "J"; are guns now included in standard (or even deluxe) Lego sets? if so, the Danes are going to have share the walk of shame with us Americans. )

Dick Cheney in Lego: Could Jack Bauer Be Far Behind?


The guy who made this scene, minifig, is brilliant! Please:

1. Check out his flickr site
2. Check out his blog
3. Write to him and ask him to add Jack to his list...

He's in the UK, where it might be difficult to "get" 24 -- in any sense...but we can hope!

Recap from the mind like a sieve

Well, Jack has been released from Chinese prison, only to be sold to a terrorist. Turns out the terrorists (on more than one occasion) give out pivotal information about their evil plans. Jacula goes all David from Lost boys (Tag line to the movie: Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire -- or Jack Bauer!) to escape the terrorist and to foil their eeevil plan of setting off nucular bombs in the cities.


Meanwhile Ahmed (Kumar), the apparent innocent kid (terrorist) next store gets the crap beaten out of him by the redneck neighbor. Turns out Kumar isn't so innocent. I can't remember any of their names. Kumar lets the mom go while the dad is out killing a guy for the bomb part. Dad gets the bomb part to the place, bad guy (Fayed?) orders Kumar to kill the boy. Thank goodness Jack arrives in time after speaking with mom (I think there is a love connection here -- but where is Audrey? Setting up a perimeter?). But I think the kid could have taken Kumar. He was eating the pain killers (from the injury of being thrown thru the glass coffee table) like they were candy.

So Jack and the good bad guy (Assad?) are getting ready to go after Assad gets his get out of jail free card from the POTUS and Curtis (sigh, handsome Curtis), goes rogue, just like we thought he would. But! We never thought that Jack would take him out! He should have popped in him the brachial nerve or cap him (knee cap). Jack Jack Jack, world of pain Jack. But on the other hand, we learn that he does have something in his stomach, because he hurls it up. Must be the terrorist blood from when he escaped. That can repeat on you as bad as Taco Bell.

By the way there is a poll on fox.com... What terrorist body part can Jack easily bite off? You think I'm kidding????? I wish I was. I did almost peed my pants when I read that! ("A" added in the comments "Clearly, there weren't any women involved with creating this poll. They should have included a check box for "other"! " I thought that should be in the main body of this post.)I decided I better screen capture it just in case they took it off . Keep it for prosperity. Any way, I digress... It happens ooo look a chicken


In the end, Jack is in a world of pain (from now on known as a WOP), the bomb goes off and there are 5 more (I think).

NPR Story on Black Presidents

Love Elvis Mitchell...on this morning's Weekend Edition, he shares his view of black presidents as represented in American popular culture, and makes note of 24's Palmer dynasty.

He doesn't make mention of the apparently shortened lifespan of black men on 24. "M" and I can't be the only ones who notice???

And here's where Ray Goes Down!

Who Has Jack's Back?

He just hangs up on Bill, and he's clearly in trouble, and Bill is all like, later...patch me through to the President?

Oh, No.

If Jack has to kill Curtis...

Doesn't Assad Know What Happens To Anyone Jack Gets A Pardon For?

"M" is right...Curtis is going to go all medieval on Assad's assad...

Does Jack really believe Curtis?

My Own Civil Rights Be Damned!

It is for the greater good...

And Chloe's Got it All Going On With The Gen-Y Set

She's got to be 10 years older than 6 Feet Under Guy!

Jack's Going to Step In

Kumar may pass out first, though...so that they can give him a medical interrogation...

No, wrong! They're going to blow him up real good...some trigger happy kid in riot gear took Kumar out before he could give up the information about Fayed.

But Brent comes through...

Perimeter

They have a perimeter around the house, but they didn't say it

Ugh,

Indigo the wonderdog is now requesting my attention. if it's not one kid, it's another!

Good thing that Ahmed is about to pass out. I think the boy can take him with that steak knife

WHAT?? Did you see that commercial? The first 5 shows of this year are being released tomorrow???

Oh, No...Ray!!!

He's a goner. "M", you're a total psychic.

And Fayed has basically confessed in front of yet another stranger. (We should make a label for that occurrence, so that we can sort how many times it happens!)

Oh, and if Kumar kills Brent (or whatever the kid's name is), Suburban Mom is going to go all Kill Bill on our asses, and thus increasing her attractiveness to Jack!

"M" is Right, Too!

Suburban Mom is kind of Jack's type...

and now, another bad guy confessing to a complete stranger. (And in this case, someone we think is a good guy...)

Ooo Sandra,

Way to really tell him. Some how I think that Peter MacNichol is going to have her taken out. Boy I like Larry Fleinhart better in Numb3ers. Won't be the first time the "administration" has had to "deal" with someone like her.

"A" is soo right

Curtis is going to go rogue on Assad's assad.

I'll take that bet

I bet that the mom falls for Jack after Ray gets blowed up. I agree Ahmed is going to pass out from blood loss and all those pain meds

One Thing We Noticed Last Season

It is like every 3 hours is a separate mini-series.

So now, with the introduction to the Ambassador, we now have the next episode.

So if you miss 3 hours, you can catch up on the 4th, when an almost entirely new story will start. Brilliant, given the state of the American viewing audience for network TV.

The NY Times (ugh, I will link to them) has an article the fact that viewers won't commit to serial dramas, and about all of the high-budget serials that were cancelled this fall after 3 episodes...

...people just don't have the attention span to make the commitment. (Which is what happened to the late, great Firefly!)

Moms Do Rock!

She got through to Jack?

Even the President had to have someone patch him through.
