For those who were perplexed by the Dubaku lasagna discussion a few episodes ago, it's just come to my attention that this was most likely an in-joke by the writers... I'm sure many of you were quicker than me and noticed, but LASAGNA is of course an anagram of SANGALA!

Clever find Vauxhall. I never notice that.

Hehe, I'm not sure that's intentional.

True, but--even more interesting--it's also an anagram for Gala-san. My money is on an unexpected Japanese connection.

First piece of new casting for Season 8 that I've just read: Anil Kapoor from SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. Hmm...

Well, that good news indeed. And another great show tonite, The best thing about this season is the absence of the painfully slow episodes, designed to pace the season along.

By the way, who the hell is Jon Voight's character supposed to be? Philip Bauer 2.0?

LOL! When I first saw his character, I thought that he was the VP. Maybe he's the head of some military corporation.

P.S. I can't wait to see Jack torture Voight. I'd love to see that scene...

I think Voight would be too bored for the scene to play effectively.

Indeed:

BAUER: "WHY D'YOU WANNA KILL THE PRESIDENT?!?!?"
VOIGHT: *yawn*
BAUER: "ANSWER MEEEAAEEEAAA!!!"
(He flips the chair holding Voight over.)
VOIGHT: "Checkie? Can't say line without checkie..."
BAUER: *groan* "Oh, all right."
(A production assistant comes in and hands Voight a pre-notarized check; he eagerly pockets it.)
VOIGHT: "Um... I'm the power behind the government."
(He picks at his nails.)
BAUER: "HOW?!?!?!?"
VOIGHT: "Checkie..."

Good episode. Love Jon Voight's character and look forward to him getting more and more to do. The President's daughter looks destined to be the next Sherry Palmer...

If not betray her, then certainly manipulate her I reckon. The exchange between Olivia and Ethan suggested that she is power-hungry. I'm not ready to trust her yet. Also...

Spoiler

My guess is that the "shipment" that Hodges is waiting for is some sort of biological weapon. It was said that Olivia has connections to the pharmaceutical industry, so I think she'll be somehow involved in that plotline, trying to cover her own back. All speculation though!

And once again the clock goes silent for one of my favorite characters.

RIP Bill- you were the man!

[A Kristatos]

BBBIIIIILLLLL!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! RIP Bill. You will be missed...

Bill will definately will be missed. BUT in the world of 24, he may not be dead yet (not basing this on any rumors, just going by past history).

Another sensational episode! Only eleven more episodes to go. Let's see if they can keep the pace up.

Now, how much more does poor Jack have to do to earn respect from some people? You have an uncompassionate, by-the-book FBI agent that still does not get that this is a national crisis, not a drug cartel investigation. And Renee gets the short end of the stick from him! Well, something tells me Renee will be rewarded for her heroics by the end of the season, and I like how her character is turning into Jack Bauer part 2 as the season progresses!

And what became of that slimy senator that has it in for Jack? Could he really still prosecute Jack after Jack and Bill saved his life and the life of the president and all the others there? Time will tell.

He appears to be the chief executive or chairman of Starkwood - which I assume to be some sort of mercenary, Blackwater-type organisation.

I also have another pet theory (which has no real proof) that...

He ran against Taylor for the Presidency.

I believe they will be encountering each other again next week...

Definitely try and catch a repeat GP. Strong episode.

He ran against Taylor for the Presidency.

In 'Redemption', he was seen standing pretty close to the President at the inauguration which suggests he has some kind of legitimate political standing. He could also be in league with the vice president, who seemed to be doing his best to get the prez killed last night!

[dodge]

Grrrrrrrreat episode. Bill will be missed. He should've listened to me--the Roman haircut does it every time. But I am excited by Jack's having a new thug to chase--the baddie who did Burnett in.

[Greene Planet]

I missed the newest episode!!!!!!

[Jaws0178]

If you happen to live in the States, you can watch the all of the episodes of 24 and other shows on this site: Hulu. And its free

[Greene Planet]

Wow, that was a suspenseful episode. BTW, thanks Jaws.
