If I was a stronger man, I would stop watching after the day was saved last week. How are they going to make Audrey’s hostageness a big deal? Or are the next six hours going to be the Jack Bauer show? Were the Chinese involved in the nukes and that’s how Chang (?) knew Jack Bauer was finished? How? What? Why?
11:00 PM: Frankly, I’m angry about this development. Angry and tired.
-Wasn’t it just last year that Jack Bauer cared so much about Audrey that he allowed her to think he was dead while he was sleeping with another woman while in hiding? I guess he had a lot of time to think things over while in Chinese Torture Prison.
11:06: Is Jack Bauer going to get jetlagged at any point? He JUST got back from China 18 hours ago. Maybe he slept on the plane. I made this joke already, didn’t I? Well, if “24” is going to keep rehashing the same material, I will, too.
-“24” just tried to have a “West Wing – Martin Sheen is riveting” moment. Wayne Palmer tried to make us all feel great about getting out of the bunker. Needless to say, it failed miserably.
-We both know that Chloe is going to help Jack Bauer create an international incident. Big Time!
-What the hell is a secure line “Alpha 539”? How does Jack Bauer know what the procedures and protocols are?
-“There’s still 30% to go, damn it!” Oh, calm down, Chloe, don’t make this about you.
-Have you guys noticed how many Victoria’s Secret commercials air during “24”. Just who do they think is watching this show?
11:15: I wonder if George and Dick are ever going to have a Noah and Wayne moment.
-“Conspiracy to commit perjury, that’s a serious offense.” Oh, come on. No it’s not, we get that all the time from this group.
-Morris updated a log program to see if anyone hacked into his system? Gotta love on “24” when the techies create aftermarket security for their systems.
11:20: Are the Russians really going to make a stink about the Americans giving the Chinese the schematics of targeting or something. THE RUSSIANS LET NUKES WALK OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY AND BLOW UP IN THE USA! Who the fuck are they to complain about their technology being passed around.
-If the Chinese wanted Jack Bauer to break when they had Audrey, why didn’t they bring her to him and threaten to kill her? Or, if the Chinese knew about the bombs, why didn’t they just make a move on the terrorists and steal them before it got to this point? Or, why don’t I stop watching this show even though it sucks SO SO SO SO hard?
-I certainly didn’t expect Jack Bauer to get knocked out like that.
11:29: Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but there’s no way that the daughter of a Defense Secretary gets into China incognito, gets into a car accident, “dies”, and it’s no big deal. That’s an international incident right there.
11:30: “That component holds the key to Russian defense codes.” I’m not sure I understand all of the technical facets of this show. Why are all the Russian defense codes stored on a component to a nuclear bomb? If these bombs had the components, why didn’t the Russians try harder to get them back? I definitely missed something along the way.
-It’s funny because Jack Bauer’s offering to blow himself up if it gets to that and no one is blinking at that at all. “Oh, yeah, it’s Jack Bauer, he’ll definitely blow himself up.”
-Here’s what I see happening over the next six hours. Jack Bauer gets the circuit board to the Chinese. They ingenuously evade capture and escape with the circuit board. Then Jack Bauer spends the next five hours chasing after them. Then he catches them and gets the circuit board back. Huzzah!
11:38: Haha, Morris, you see what Chloe just did to you? She’s the one that did wrong and she’s mad at you for calling her on it.
11:41: Jack Bauer is going after Audrey not because of what they had in the past, but because she served this country with honor. No one left behind, eh?
-There’s been so much talk about Fred Thompson maybe running for President. What do you think happens if Noah from “24” runs? I’m thinking he’s ahead of McCain and Romney right off the bat.
-I don’t think a President would ever lead off a speech by saying something about how grateful he is that someone is dead. Even if it is a terrorist, you talk about the bombs first, then the dead terrorist.
-Nadia looks pretty good for having gone through torture a couple hours ago.
-Here’s another example of “24” trying for a “West Wing” moment, give it up Wayne, you ain’t got it!
-There’s no way the President takes questions after this announcement.
-Get him off, get him off. This is where Tom Lennox needs to step up.
-Oh Jeeze. This show is ridiculous. If any of you didn’t know the President was going to have a medical episode, you shouldn’t be watching the show. What garbage.
11:47: I watch this show to ease some of my self loathing. It is an outlet for me.
11:52: This VP a dove now? What does he care about international incidents?
-How come Tom Lennox and Noah Daniels are pretending that Tom doesn’t have anything on him?
-Here’s a guess, the VP is going to tell Jack Bauer to cancel the mission and Jack Bauer is going to say in so many words “I don’t work for you!”
11:57: “I DON’T WORK FOR YOU!”
-“You can’t go against the White House?” Come on, Doyle, you know Jack Bauer doesn’t work for the White House.
