Holy crap! The terrorist teenager was the guy from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle!!

I also just realized that we are two hours into the season, but thye have yet to show the CTU director's office.

hmmm...can't wait till next sunday...*looks through ebay for a time machine*

It's not a premiere: it's a premiere event .

So the current list of 24 fanatics includes:

en_una_isla
alex
tinky
werbert
flagg

Am I the only one to notice a distinct similarity between morris and werbert?

And didn't the guy who wants to set up detention centers play an Aspie-ish attorney on Ally McBeal? I was amazed I recognized his face. Usually all actors look the same to me.

A scene that should be on 24:

Ladies and Gentlmen, the President of the United States.

The scene opens to show Wayne Palmer in the Oval Office, addressing the country.

Wayne: My fellow Americans, I have some good, yet somehow terrifying news. This wave of terror that has gripped the country for the past 11 weeks is on the verge of ending, and, in fact, will cease completely within 24 hours. The bad news: Jack Bauer is on the case, so about half of you are likely to die within the next 24 hours, including me.

Have a great day.

End scene.

Happy birthday to actress Regina King, who played Sandra Palmer.

I hope this isn't racial profiling, but we might have a problem on WP. Someone just joined with the name "islamoverall." Now, I am willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt and believe that they are a peaceful religious fanatic. However, it is a lot more fun to pretend that he is a terrorist.

I think that we need to put him in WP's detention center before he tries to blow up a forum, or assassinate Alex. We need WP's Jack Bauer on the case right away!

How could I have missed this thread? I was up all night writing/reading about 24! And I had to search for some..ahem...illegal ways of viewing the show because my dman cable decided that it just wasn't going to air FOX. It would show everything else (and I have over 500 channels), but it would NOT show FOX at all. Oh, I was so upset. Practically had a melt down. It was bad.

But, fortunately FOX released the Season DVD to some "unscrupulous" individuals who made it possible for me to watch the episodes in question last night, albeit a little after seven. There was much rejoicing.

"I can't do this anymore." Oh, poor Jack. He's so broken, beaten, bloodied, and maimed. And hello, Lost Boys. That was kind of gross, but entirely fitting Jack's desperation.

And what is the deal with politicians and management? Chloe knows (and so does the rest of the world) that Jack is always right. Always.

And if the US goverment would just take a lesson from President James Marshall of Air Force One fame, Jack might not have such bad days. Repeat after me: "We do not negotiate with terrorists." (Actually, I don't know if that line was ever used in that movie, but President Marshall always comes to mind when I see a 24 President bend in to the wishes of an Evil Bad Terrorist.)

Of course, if everyone listened to Jack, and if no one negotiated with terrorists, we wouldn't have 24, so I guess it's a trade off.

And Jack's hand looks as though it were dipped in Acid--and his back. I'll tell you one thing, that Chinese official is marked for death. (Did you see the look Jack gave him as he walked away with Curtis? He totally was memorizing his face.)

And what is the deal with Kumar (I mean, Ahhhhhmed?) He can't act. And neither can hippy boy. Or Redneck Contractor Man.

And Chloe is going to be awesome this season. I can hardly wait. (Provides some excellent comic relief, although I am not sure it is intended or not. Maybe I just laughed because I see a lot of myself in Chloe, and recognize that I would say/do a lot of the same things.)

Except poor Chloe almost caused Jack to die for nothing. And then, of course, the Evil Bad Terrorist made a fatal error: telling Jack the truth and then leaving him alone with a no-name Terrorist Henchman. If Fayed supposedly knew about Jack, then his intel needs some serious work because NO ONE with half a brain leaves Jack alone, ESPECIALLY after telling him the truth about Evil Diabolical Terrorist Plans. Idiot.

And Tom "Weasel" Lennox. Eewwwwwww. Worse than Cummings as far as sliminess goes (almost like Miles in Season Five.) (And what happened to Miles "I'm Gonna Destroy Evidence in Exchange for a Better Job?" Hope that worked out for him.)

And maybe I kinda-sorta couldn't wait to watch episodes 3 and 4, so I watched them last night, too.

I won't post anything until tonight, but THEY ARE AWESOME! AWESOME! And the ending of episode 4 will leave you breathless.
