I have a sneaking position that CTU Tall Dude With Mustache (see? I can't even remember their names this year!)--the dude with his arm in the sling--may turn out to be the mole.

Jack Bauer-Jack, The Man, BMF (Bad Mother er)
Chloe O Brien-Personality Disorder, Tech Chick
Morris O Brien-Al Bundy, dude soild women's shoes before going to CTU
Marilyn Bauer-SILJL, that's for Sister-In-Law-Jack-Loved
Josh Bauer-Jack Bauer Jr
Phillip Bauer-Zefram Cochrane, Pig Farmer
Milo Pressman-Wanna Be Player
Nadia Yassir-Awana Fuqher, or Token, as in token woman, Muslim, Republican, etc.
Bill Buchanan-Da Man, or Chiggy, as in the show SPace Above and Beyond, he shot down an alien pilot named Chiggy

Sandra Palmer-Annoying Lawyer
Tom Lennox-Weasel
Karen Hayes-Frau Blucher
Charles Logan-Obi Wan, or now, worm food
Martha Logan-Mary Todd Lincoln

Hilariously funny and very, very helpful. Thank you.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Tom Lennox isn't so weasely lately.I'm starting to root for him.

I'm enjoying season 6 very much so far. Excellent stuff...with a few lulls in drama/action are expected. I do wonder where Milo was for 3 seasons...Al queda training camps?

Without giving anything away from tonight's episode, am I the only one who finds it rather improbable that this particular president would pick the vice president he seem to have gone with? Powers Boothe is a good actor but the character just doesn't work for me. For some reason the writers of the show can't manage two equally good plot lines. Weird.

Perhaps he really needed the fictional votes from the VP's state? A JFK/LBJ sort of thing?

Agreed though, they don't exactly mix.

[Professor Dent]

Great nickname list hcmv007. Everytime I see Nadia I think of the movie Vegas Vacation where she was Mr. Papageorgio's sister. It's the weakest movie of the Vacation bunch but it has it's moments.

[Nimsworth]

I dont care what anyone says to me Jack's Dad and Dimitri Gredenko will always be Farmer Hogget and Boris The Blade respectively for the rest of their careers.

Although I did spit my drink out in hilarity over calling Morris "Al Bundy".

[dinovelvet]

I'm thrilled to find a fellow Prison Break fan on the site. The difference this season between the two shows, for me, has come down to characters. PB has pulled off the phenomenally tricky stunt of making us root for eight convicts on the run. Some are rotten, some are decent, but all have been on the run from something much bigger than they are--and a lot more evil. The main villain of the show, Mahone, is one of the most truly trapped and tortured souls ever on TV. And the worst of the convicts--T-Bag persists in being the most delightfully astonishing racist/pedophile/psycho around. This season on 24 I find myself hard put to even remember the names of half the characters.

But, as you've said, Dino, 24 may be stumbling this year but it deserves our gratitude and our full attention. At its best it leaves us nervous wrecks. This year it's like an enjoyable book that I can put down but keep picking back up. It sustains my interest--but so far I'm not losing sleep.

Yeah I mean 24 has not yet fallen into being a chore to watch or something to watch out of loyalty to past seasons or whatever. That's what happened to Alias with me, I gave up on it during the last season - even though I knew there were only a few months left of the show, I just couldn't be bothered to see it through. 24 is still enjoyable...just not as much as it used to be. Part of the problem is that Jack Bauer is relegated to almost subplot status at the moment, he needs to be front and center. Hopefully next year they can cut down on the political intrigue and get back to Bauer doing his thing; I caught a re-run of a season 4 episode on A&E the other day, it was truly gripping stuff even though I knew what was going to happen. Not feeling it these days. Still, like Bond films, one season of 24 had to be the worst...and it happens to be the current one.
As for Prison Break, yes what a wild bunch of characters - gotta love good old T-Bag and his wacky murderous antics! He's a fantastic character, I hope they NEVER kill him or write him off the show, he owns the whole show right now. I just read it is coming back for Season 3, so I'm really looking forward to what they "cliffhang" us with in the next couple of weeks.

Jack and Sorenson leave the Russian Consolate, in a scene reminscent of the Red Carpet at the Source Hip Hop Awards. STBDT and STBDR get in an argument, and have to leave, lest they bring down the Wrath of Bauer-trust me, you do NOT want that. They manage to launch only one drone, and STBDR contacts the (Sade's Smooth Operator Music) Drone Operator (End Music) to make sure it goes all is planned. They then leave like filthy filthy whores after being kicked out by Charlie Sheen. Jack is brought back into CTU, and after Chiggy tells him to go to Medical, he sees SILJL. SILJL tries to smooch Jack, but he is still feeling Audrey (Schnoz). SILJL points out that she won't have to change the monogram on her towels, and also that Jack has nowhere else to go (Dude is homeless). When Jack mentions he still has feelings for someone, SILJL tells Jack Schnoz died a few months ago. Jack then leaves her and makes a bee line for Tech Chick, and demands the file on Schnoz's death. Meanwhile, Bundy loses the drone, and Tech Chick figures it out-there is yet another mole. How the hell does CTU allow this? Wanna Be Player, tries to get closer to Awana Fuqher, but gets roosterblocked by Tech Chick (Why?). Seems Wanna Be Player having Awana use his password is a felony, so Wanna Be Player logs Awana off (sounds dirty, huh?), and sees his chance at getting her to at least unbutton the top 2 buttons on her shirt dwindle rapidly. Back in DC, Frau Blucher makes her triumphant return, and tells Weasal once she sees him how it feels to be a weasal, to which he retorts that at least horses do not neigh and kick at the mention of his name. Ann Coulter then guides them into Lex Luthor's meeting-if the Drone goes off, bottled sunshine is unleashed on Durkadurkastan. After running around, Tech Chick reveals the mole to be Awana Fuqher, sending Sorenson to initiate Sipowicz style interrogation, while Wanna Be Player is pissed he is not getting alone time with Awana. Al Bundy gets on Awana's computer and locates the (Sade's Smooth Operator Music) Drone Operator (Music ends), and it is only 3 blocks from CTU, natch. Wanna Be Player interupts Sorenson, and is disappoitned to see that Awana has indeed unbuttoned her shirt for Sorenson, and tells Sorenson that they have an address, Sorenson then shouts "O'Doyle rules!" but not before telling Awana, she is staying put. Jack is reading Schnoz's murder report, blasts Chiggy for not telling him, and vows to get vengence on the Chinese. Looks like we can add them to the endagered species list. Jack sees some hardhats roll out and stops one-"Kegger at the Drone dude's crib, yo!". Jack gets dressed and tells Sorenson he is running point, why? Because no one runs point for a keg party when Jack Bauer is around. Nobody. Jack and Sorenson later storm the crib, and Jack makes a b---h kill of a guard, follwed by Sorenson. Once inside, Jack is able to stop the drone, but crashes it in a industrial part of San Francisco, preventing the appeasers there from neotiating with the drone to not relase the bomb. Causeheads everywhere get ticked off. Ann Coulter informs Lex that CTU has saved the lives of millions of f--gots, and Lex decides to turn Durkadurkastan into the world's first glass desert.

Awesome recap: better than the episode. Do you think Schnoz is really dead?

[hcmv007]

Keep watching!

[Nimsworth]

Pace picked up a tad this week but by god am I the only one who thought Jack was going to do some Rain Man torture when Brady came on screen?

Boris the Blade remains as smarmy as ever. Vice President Daniels also had me screaming "Oh you prick" countless times at my TV.

Man if I was an aspiring Presidential hopeful in the 24 universe I'd run for Vice President. The amount of times they invoke the 25th Amendment is ridiculous.

Where the hell is Logan anyway? Last we see him is having a heart attackish in an Ambo and now he dissapears.

Also healing is awesome in 24 land. One minute Palmer is said to "take weeks" to get back to full strength then all of a sudden he's back up to himself. Then again Morris got drilled in the back and he's back to his charming self.

[dodge]

24 is suffering from a case of Lost-itis this season: riddles inside of enemas--I mean, inside enigmas--that are raised and then dropped. As Nimsworth has wondered, where the heck is Logan? And why bother introducing him or Martha if they're to be simply dropped? This won't do. Give us mysteries and compound the mysteries, that's okay with us, but don't get us guessing and then leave us beached. All in all, a good episode. But now would really be the time to start bringing the whole thing together. And I'm still waiting for a classic killer 24-style Almighty Shockeroo.

Read this, but be warned, these are MAJOR spoliers, so if you do not want to know, do NOT read:

Spoiler

Audrey is in fact NOT dead-she was captured by Cheng Zhi while she was in China looking for Jack, and was going to be torured in front of him in order for Jack to talk. Since Jack was having his release noegotiated, Cheng decided to 'alter' Audrey-in other words, expect more Rain Man dialouge for Jack, and Cheng to be killed. RE: Logan's-expect them to return briefly, but in order to wrap up their story-Logan had another bit of info for Jack-and only Martha can uncover it. Don't rule out Daniels doing something drastic, and Bill Buchanan's hours are sadly numbered as Director at CTU-to save her career, Karen will have to fire him. Who runs CTU next is still open, however.

[dodge]

You devil! I can't possibly read the spoiler section, yet am having trouble not. In fact, when I hit the Quote tab, it pulled the spoiler up--and I saw only the first sentence, confirming one plot point I'd guessed. I'll never give up on this show and look forward to next week. Go, Jack!

[Professor Dent]

Interesting stuff, hcmv007. I've read some similar things in an Entertainment Weekly article about a month ago. They also gave away some details about the final episode. I'm really enjoying the season so far. I don't have a frame of reference on lost, though. I actually bought the first season of Lost on DVD for $19.99 (one of those Black Friday specials a few years ago). Still haven't bothered to watch it yet. Most people I know who were die hard fans of the show barely talk about it anymore. JJ Abrams pulled the same stunt with Alias. Start off with an awesome season 1 & then watch the thing collapse on itself after that. Fortunately for me, I watched all but the last season of Alias on DVD. 24 has "ruined" me with the non-stop season format.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Anyone watch Southpark last night? They did an excellent take on 24. Very funny.

Thanks for reminding me that Abrams was involved in both. I'd forgotten Alias...as I've already forgotten Lost. I gave up a month ago and have never looked back, though I'd been of its biggest supporters. The entire cast must be in a fit now. Two wonderful years at the top of the heap--then the balloon is popped. Too many riddles with answers too few and far between. Who cares, at this point, how Locke got into the wheelchair? Who gives a hoot about Jack's tattoos? They can only string us along for so long. And it was apparent to me, when I quit, the writers are Loster than we are.

[hcmv007]

Anyone watch Southpark last night? They did an excellent take on 24. Very funny.

That was awesome! And creative-pulling off what a season of 24 is like in just under 20 minutes. But the only thing missing was Kenny not getting a "Silent Clock"!



I will offer my summary of this past Mon's episode on Mon-just in time for the new episode Mon night!

[Vauxhall]

A few spoilers for all you 24 fans!

Spoiler

- Jack and Audrey's relationship becomes complicated further.
- Graem was not Josh's father... then again, neither was Jack...
- Phillip Bauer returns, and is found to be working with the Chinese.
- Some of the final action of the season takes place on an oil rig.

Also, the final lines of the season, according to the first draft of episode 24:

Spoiler

Person TBD:
Get in, Jack. There's a lot I have to tell you.

Jack, still struggling to get past the shock of who he's seeing, climbs in the passenger side as Person TBD gets behind the wheel. As the car peels out, we... FADE OUT

Hmm... now, any guesses?!

[Professor Dent]

Anyone watch Southpark last night? They did an excellent take on 24. Very funny.

An instant classic. I'm not sure at which part I laughed harder: When Cartman sent the cell phone picture to Kyle or when he injected himself with the apple juice for the interrogation.

[dodge]

This just in from McPaper (USA Today). They're not amused by the new season:

"Some days you just wish would end already.
"Alas, no such luck with Fox's 24. Counting tonight's episode, there are still nine hours to go in what is turning out to be the worst day ever, one many viewers seem to be watching more out of duty than pleasure.
"Considering that last year's 24 run was one of TV's best, this year's collapse is a more shocking twist than any the plot has provided so far. After a strong opening, the show almost immediately lost its way, lurching from one unsatisfyiny set-piece to another, with plots and characters that range from the recycled to the ridiculous...If Jack's Bad Dad never shows up again, will it really matter to the plot's resolution or to viewers?"

Meanwhile, we keep hoping.

[sharpshooter]

Vauxhall....I hope that character is none other than Agent Al.....

Previously on 24:


Jack and Sorenson clean up after the kegger at the Drone Pilot's house. It only takes a millisecond for a "Dammit!" to be uttered once Jack learns he is dead. Jack calls Chiggy to give him an update, and tells him of Lex Luthor's plan to nuke Durkadurkastan, to which Jack asks "Where is Superman when we need him?". Back inside, we are intorduced to a new CTU Agent-Dick Weed. Dick tells Sorenson that Awana Fuqher is innocent, and this littl thing proves it. Since Sorenson had his back at Denver, he gives Sorenson the chip, no strings attached. Jack rolls in, and tells Sorenson that Tech Chick just calledto inform him that STBDR is going to see DB Sweeney (Mark-he kinda looks like him huh?) about plans or something. Sorenson tells Jack he needs to finsh off the rest of the keg, so Jack takes a few sober CTU guys and rolls out. Meanwhile STBDR and STBDT have an arguement over whose is bigger, and STBDT leaves-with the nukes, as STBDR makes his appointment with DB Sweeney. Back at CTU, Wanna Be Player stares at Awana Fuqher, wondering what he can do to tie her up like that at his place. Chiggy tells Wanna Be Player that Awana is charged with being an enemy combatant. Back in DC, Frau Blucher tells Annoying Lawyer about Lex's plans to nuke Durkadurkastan, and wants her to get Baldy out of a coma, now! Annoying lawyer agrees. As Jack gets ready to move on DB Sweeney's place, he sees someone on a omputer doing all of the work. Jack moves in, only to find Sweeney isn't hte brains-its his brother Wapner (You thought i was going to go Rain Man here, huh? Shame!). Jack gets Wapner to help him set up STBDR so Jack can torture/kill/send him to the Russians. Wapner agrees, if he can see his brother, and yeah, not miss Wapner, who is on in like 30 minutes. Back at CTU, Dick Weed tells Wanna Be about his finding a chip that could clear Awana, and tells him Sorenson has it. Wanna Be tosses his sling slike it's a bad shirt and takes a shot at Sorenson, who could have taken it. Al Bundy runs up and tells Wanna Be and Chiggy that Sorenson gave him the chip, and yes Awana is clear. Wanna Be and Sorenson kiss and play nice, while Al follows Chiggy. Sorenson confronts Dick Weed and will force him to listen to his Donny Osmond records (Ok, you had to have watched Ricky on NYPD Blue ot catch that one. I sure as hell will not explain it!). Chiggy lets Awana go, and once she gets to Wanna Be, he corners her in a hallway-in front of Tech chick no less, and drops the Wanna Be from his name by sucking all the air out of her. Player apologizes, and might just have sex sometime in the next 12 hours. Jack coaches Wapner on how to handle the meeting with STBDR, and moves quickly to save his life once he learns STBDR is an a-hole and plans to kill him once he has the plans for a nuclear power plant. STBDR is caught, and Jack sends Wapner to see his brother, and you know, Wapner. STBDR wants immunity and a no return trip to Russia. Jack brainstorms on a plan to send his @$$ to China to get some "Gentle Massages" from specially trained torturers. Whoops! I meant specially trained massueses. Before Luthor can order the nuke to be fired, Ann Coulter says "Urgent call for you, it's some unknown f--got." Lex hears Baldy, now up, telling him to step off, lest he be played like a play hata. Luthor stands down, then reverts to his Jim Jones persona, wondering if the Attorney General can convine the President to sip some Kool-Aid...

[Genrewriter]

Well, tonight's hour was...interesting.

[Nimsworth]

Man... where the hell did Wayne Palmer get them balls from? Could have used them a bit earlier in the season. Still there goes that nuke to the un-named Middle Eastern Country. Also Lennox blackmailing Vice President Daniels had me screaming "LENNOX FOR THE WIN" at my screen.

Nice to see the old HACK THE LIMB OFF come back. First Chase in Day 3 now Boris The Blade. Who else didnt cheer when Jack kicked Fayed in the head? I really liked this ep which had even Doyle come off looking like a decent bloke.

Since we're near the end of the Day I'm assuming we wont be seeing any more of Logan. Shame really but I hope he's having fun with Behrooz, Lynne Kreski and President Keeler in 24 Limbo.

I heard the baying of the hounds last night: this season is 24's DAD, imo. For the first time in this great show's history, I glance at my watch now and then to see how close I am to the end of the hour. I watch out of loyalty and gratitude for past years. But I no longer give a hoot where Logan, Martha or Bad Dad have gone. I don't expect a semblance of plausibility. I haven't the ghost of a hope that the old magic will come back this year. Great show, bum year. Suggestions for next year? Get rid of the zero charismas: Blad Gray Head of CTU...Prez Palmer Junior...Milo...Come on with a smashing, new, unrecycled story line...Give us an unforgettable villain...Play with the time structure: 24 hours don't necessarily have to be all in one day: e.g., it could be split into two half days, with time in between them. To our surprise, the story seems to have ended at the twelfth hour...but then something astonishing happens that takes us off in a new, but related, direction. Why do exactly the same thing each year?

Whatever. Just stop them dogs from barkin'!

[killkenny kid]

Well, tonight's hour was...interesting.

Indeed, you know I'm begining to get worried about this show again. I felt they were to do some now things with Jack this year, maybe peel back some layers. But, no we are right back to the same old Jack. And now with what happens to Jack, next week will we see Doyle step up as the new and crazy one man wecking crew? Boy, thats new It's one dimensional and will paints them into a box. It's time for a new direction. And btw what's up with the lack of repect from Daniels? You address the President as Mr. President. Never as Wayne Palmer, I mean even the ex-President retain their title.

[Genrewriter]

It's to the point where I'm pretty much just focusing on the Jack Bauer scenes since they seem to be the only ones written with some semblance of high quality. It's so bizarre, the same writers on an episode and yet it feels like only one plot line gets the grade A treatment. Still, can't wait to see what they pull out of their butts next week and t he weeks to come.

I think the series needs a major overhaul, no CTU or White House stuff, no endless double crosses, no terrorists, just a real good action/thriller scenario to dump Bauer into.
