LOL - you make many good points of the numerous 24 plot holes. The show is dramatic, tense and highly addictive. But the only way to really enjoy it is to suspend disbelief at all the presposterous goings-on. Admittedly it's hard to do with so many gaping holes of implausibility.

[cleveland gop]

Add to your list Michelle Denzler(car blew up).
I'm guessing 4 out of the 6 bad guys at the airport.
Tony Almeda is hurt badly, but not dead.

Since everyone wants to script Rush into the show, I figured that we could go a little further with this. Follow along now 24 fans:

MARK LEVIN- Pres. The voice alone is priceless, even before the arguements start.
RUSH- VP. Just because.
LAURA INGRAHAM- The new Chloe. Do I really have to explain this one.
BILL O'REILLY- CTU boss. Smart enough to know what's up. Irritating enough to upset the bad ones.
SEAN HANNITY-The new Edgar. That part "fits" him well enough.
AL FRANKEN- The bad guy
J.C. WATTS- He could step into Jack Bauer's shoes easily. Athletic enough to never get shot at, and he knows what a FLANK 2 is.
MONICA CROWLEY- His love interest. That ought to have Alan Colmes gasping for air.

Just A little fun there to make next Monday get here faster.

I think the mole is the guy that slept with Chloe

BRILLANT!!!! I laughed so hard my eyes are still burning, 5 minutes later.
THANKS

1) Jack saw the yellow-tie guy. It was out of character for Jack to let the guy get away while he messed around with the reunion stuff. Not a plot error, just that Jack doesn't make too many mistakes, and that was a big one.

The yellow tie guy will be found later. I think it will lead Jack to the other bad guys.

[racing fan]

Jack did notice that the Yellow Tie Guy missing.

[racing fan]

What about Savage?

[pitbully]

Looks like the yellow tie is doing something worst taking over the airport.Nukes of some sort?

[cleveland gop]

We could have Savage play another head of state, like the Russian premier. He has a doctorate degree for god's sake.

Someone had the count at 9 after the first episode, I think they were:
- Palmer
- Michelle
- 4 terrorists at the refinery
- Baggage Guy (Shermanski?)
- Two TSA guards.

In this episode, best guess:
- 3 hostages (cell phone guy, two executions)
- 12 terrorists

That's 15 for episodes 3-4, and 24 total so far.

That's just my recollection. Someone got a better number?

[racing fan]

I think so. He can do it.

Maybe he can play someone like Howard Beale in Network?

Savage is fun to listen to on the radio. It makes my ride home entertaining sometimes.

[racing fan]

I don't think so. Some sort of gas perhaps.

[Nita Nupress]

I think the mole is the guy that slept with Chloe

Has anyone mentioned the overweight guy who sits next to Chloe at a computer? Who is he? And am I the only one who thought he was acting suspicious?

[HairOfTheDog]

I must've missed something there, as I'm not clear on why Palmer wanted to talk to the FLOTUS in the first place? What's his point about talking to her? Shouldn't he be talking to Logan?

I wonder the same thing... why would Palmer pick the crazy wife to talk to - I understand the president is an idiot but why not try to warn the former aid Mike Novick (sp)... or anyone at CTU?

And why would Palmer know in the first place? They haven't told us that yet.

[cleveland gop]

Good comparsion. I work till 11PM so I listen to Savage(not live here in Cleveland)but also WJR(Detroit)just started having Mark Levin's show on too. I find myself going between both shows.

That's just Edgar. He always looks suspicious.

[miele man]

"I think Logan is a cyborg. Either that, or an Al Gore clone".

I was thinking he reminded me of Nixon. Facial features from the side, the stiff arm wave, not really comfortable being close to others or even able to show genuine caring emotion.

[cleveland gop]

That's Edgar, another CTU computer whiz. He is on his 3rd season I think. He was acting weird tonight but I don't think it was directed at Chloe. They worked together on stuff last season(helped each other out on things).

[HairOfTheDog]

I think Edgar likes Chloe, and doesn't like this new dude.

Well, the important thing is to have confidence in your doc. Recently had one, quite at random, in whom confidence was, shall we say, not an option. This chap apparently is the only person in the history of the world who had both Chicken Little and Benito Mussolini in his family tree.

Being a marginally reasonable person, I acquired a different doctor directly. Matters have worked well since.

''Ask Your Doctor'' was, unfortunately, one of my typically don't-give-up-the-day-job attempts at humour (sigh...).

BTW, speaking historically -- this may have changed, but I'm not aware of any revised stats -- the favoured method of suicide of **doctors** is and has been for years just 10mg NaNCH (sodium cyanide) push.
