They forgot the cute little hispanic chick that was a mole... that Nina offed and made look like a suicide.

ROFLOL!!

A pair of scissors from the sewing department and then using them in the lingere department would have done nicely...

No wonder you are from Spice Island...naughty girl!

Good idea, I must say!

[hummingbird]

...Not just folks saying ' Argh! ' and then falling asleep.

Some of them were more dramatic than others who seemed to fall out more gracefully...almost like ballerinas!

Got to go back upthread and read about nerve agents...

[hummingbird]

I said upthread about the nerve gas...mea culpa. This is the post on nerve gas that I was telling you about, warsaw44.

Thanks again for the link, COEXERJ145!

[hummingbird]

Thanks for the link to "The Wild!" Something is wrong with my 'puter so I can't view the macromedia presentation...I can't figure out how to get that ACTIVEX thing to work.

Soon as I do, I'll check the link out...thanks!

I added Jamey Farrell and Michelle Dressler.

Chase Edmunds' right arm was also in CTU Heaven. However, Chase dumped Kim Bauer and his arm will be waiting for him in Hell.

Jamey - that's who it was! And of course Michelle...

How about two other tidbits from tonights episodes:

1) The look of the Russian Pres.' face when POTUS(better known as the pissant)said that FLOTUS was acting weird because of being under treatment was priceless. He should have knocked Logan on his A$$!!!Then he leaves Logan with his foot in his mouth---PERFECT!!!

2) And most surprisingly was FLOTUS running back to POTUS after being told how much he loved her and that he prayed for her. Come on FLOTUS, have a bigger backbone than that!!!

I totally missed the exact moment when the Russian Pres. "disrepected" Logan. Arghhhhh.....Mr. h gave me a rundown, but I know I really missed something good just by seeing Logan's expression.

I think the FLOTUS has a bigger backbone than we think. I was not impressed with her initially (the FLOTUS character, not Jean Smart, who is great). But, I think she is seeing more and more how genuinely weak-minded Logan is...I think she is doing what she's doing because of what Mike told her.

She taking one for the country. Finally, she sees that he is not only a weak husband, he is a weak president as well.

How about that VP...he took over the plan like a General Haig or General Patton. Logan looked like he was sitting in one of the "little chairs."

Logan is kinda' like Fredo in The Godfather...

"It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!"

She taking one for the country. Finally, she sees that he is not only a weak husband, he is a weak president as well.

I'm not so sure she came to serve... I think she came to drive. And FWIW, someone needs to drive that man around, he doesn't have a thought in his head that is his own!

[GOP and the City]

I think Jack had a GF that ended up at room temperature. Not sure of her name though.

[HairOfTheDog]

Which season? You mean Kate Warner? She didn't die.

[COEXERJ145]

Edgar made the front page of Yahoo news earlier today.

It is from USA Today so I can't post anything from the article.

Did everyone see this? Very funny stuff about Jacks women. If you click on the pics, they enlarge. :)

I agree with him that Nina rocks... She and Jack were great chemistry. But I liked Kate too... true she often looked a bit confused, but she had exactly a ~DAY~ to adjust from planning sister's dream wedding to being thrown into the middle of a terrorist plot. She did well under pressure, really!

I think that the 24 writers don't know any "real" women. They're either rather stupid or evil/controlling. It's my biggest complaint about 24.

[AmishDude]

What about Chloe?

I think that the 24 writers don't know any "real" women. They're either rather stupid or evil/controlling.

I think this says they know a lot of women.

[HairOfTheDog]

Honestly I think that's nonsense. You're seeing them only through some kind of bias vision... They've had a wide range of women on the show. Some wicked, some not. Some sexy, some awkward. Michelle, Chloe, Nina, Kate, Alberta, Mandy, Kim, Teri, Mrs Palmer, Mrs. Logan... Very different women.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think this says they know a lot of women.

Hey! :~\

[DJ MacWoW]

Chloe and Michelle are exceptions. So is Mrs Logan (so far). The rest are conniving (Sherrie Palmer, Nina) or rather clueless (Kate Warner, Kim, even Teri Bauer). Nina was a well written character. I enjoyed her storyline. Kim went from one tragedy to another. *rolling eyes* Teri Bauers amnesia was a joke. Even Kates caharacter wasn't that well written. Sherrie Palmer was fun but sometimes tiresome. Alberta wasn't up to the task of running CTU and Mandy is self-centered. My 3 fav women happen to be Michelle, Chloe and Flotus. I have nothing against any of the actresses but with the writing of their roles.

Btw, I saw Sarah Winter on a talk show and she was charming and ANIMATED. I blame Kate being annoying on the writers.
