The OFFICIAL weekly "24" Season 5 Live thread!

FOX 24 ^ | 1-15-06 | Jack Bauer

Can't tell by the previews but it looked like Rudy was ordering everyone arrested and the agents have figured out the guy is ripe for a section 8.

Martha was in the limo and it looked like a guy with a bazooka on the roof.

[GRRRRR]

Don't forget the bad guy on the roof with a huge BAZOOOOOOKA!!

No problem!

[najida]

Welllll,
She COULD have them go another route like,
"Hey, turn here! I think there's a sale at Macy's...."

ROFL

[SAJ]

No one had better call for volunteers to hammer/dump FatWhiteBureaucrat (as in: YellowTieGuy from a few episodes ago...heehee). The union pay scale alone would bankrupt the producers.

;^)

Thanks so much for the update...I could not believe we did not show the previews....but it was worth cutting in...more people getting shot up here in Dallas....too much of that lately....boy, I need a glass of wine and a good nights sleep after this episode...the best one EVER I think so myself...see you all next week!!! BTW, I can't stan Logan..he reminds me of JF'n Kerry.

They prefer to keep it around 5G.

[mware]

I never fall to sleep before 12 on 24 nights.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I've also been watching Season 1, and Jack looked a lot more healthy then. He weighed more, and he had blonde hair.

[osagebowman]

Don't think so, looks like a compensated sig sauer to me.

[navynucmom]

OMG it takes that long to just wind down...I am tighter than Dick's Hat Band right now!

[najida]

Well,
I have a tummy ache.

Maybe mixing corn chips in my salad was a bad idea.

[silent_jonny]

They prefer to keep it around 5G.

First I've heard of it. Last year's American Idol thread ran nearly 11,000 posts. The mods didn't object.

[mware]

I am drinking digestive tea myself.

[najida]

Digestive tea??

[SAJ]

Sure, why not. Big banner hung from the top floor of Macy's (or whichever store): ''Dlya nashi Russki druzhya! Prikhoditye!''

Actually, had Logan one functioning brain cell and even less marginal competence, he would have told Suvorov of the plot and let some substitute -- cannon fodder, unfortunately -- troops take their assorted places in the motorcade.

Ah, well, suspension of disbelief that a President can be so effing incompetent and self-serving. Sigh.

[najida]

We're supposed to suspend disbelief?

Oh.......

[Lovergirl]

I swear I can't take this. I have a headache. LOL! I want 2 hours a night of 24. I hate waiting til next week. :)

[NorthWoody]

Martha has to be the hottest 50-something babe I've ever seen.

Why does everyone call the Hobbitt "Rudy"?

[SAJ]

Well, kid, y'know that they always issue disclaimers for everything -- ''these events are fictional, and the persons and players therein bear no relation to ...'' blah, blah, blah.

The disclaimer I used to love was Dragnet's: '...names have been changed to protect the innocent'. Might have had some validity, for that programme.

However, if I might quote Publius Scaevola, the Pontifex Maximus of Rome in (my dates are rusty, sorry) 70-80 BC, ''No man is innocent, and no powerful man is anything but guilty.''

Which sentiment, of course, describes Logan, and Mike, perfectly. Not to mention FatBoyBureaucratAndWouldBeTyrant.

Consider this: never mind poor decisions (Logan), WHO IS THE ONLY dramatis persona to have actually committed a security breach in this season's ''24'' to date?

Right first time, well done!
