So now we have Jack's family involved.... Did I miss something last year, when did that tool Grahm become Jack's brother?

My brother, mom, and my Hunan No.1 waiter all agree that this was not one of 24's finest hours.
It did have its moments though......
President "Tupac" Palmers sitting around with his staff and *turning off* the TV in frustration after watching the mushroom cloud for 5 minutes. Very cool. How much more info useful could there have been anyway, after all, it was only a suitcase nuke and it blew up in Valencia where it probably irradiated a few oranges and grapefruits. Big deal I say....
Jack comes across a helicopter that has crashed into a roof. Jack saves the pilot before the thing falls off the side of the house and explodes, as if it were carrying bombs. It probably was given the shady disposition of the pilot and the strange letters on the side of the chopper.
I love to see movies where a standpit is taking place, and there is always a blonde kid who runs into the road and being saved at the last minute.
Sure enough, this happened on 24 as well!!!
There is something wacky going on at the civil liberties law firm which has been taken over by the feds. The real terrorists, all of whom are middle eastern are literally in a football style huddle making terrorist plots. They are employing the theory that it you are guilty of something, the best way to divert suspicion is to act as suspicious as possible. It works well, because the feds, all of whom are whiter than Tom Brady, pick out the one brother and rough him up, then plant a wire on him and order him to make friends with the terrorists. Guess what, it worked. He can not speak Arabic, but the
bleeding scratch on his cheeck proves to the bad guys he's "one of them".
Note.... I like the fact that the terrorists this year are from the Middle East, not some "breakaway Russian federation".
I like Buchanan but he seems even more stiff and wooden than ever. And no one even notices that Karen Hayes has turned into a zombie, but that should make things fun later on this season.
BTW, has anyone seen jack eat something after the Chinese prison?
For some reason I thought Fayed was on the scene when the bomb blew, but he is alive and well! aaaaand has 4 more bombs. Some Irish clown named McCarthy is working with him and he has this funny prostitute girlfriend who I mistook for Kim Bauer when I first saw her.
The big bombshell comes when it is revealed that Bluetooth Dude is Jack's brother. Jack needs to find his dad because he knows a Russian general who is supplying the nukes. Jack says he hasn't seen his dad in 9 years. He should have just rented "Klute", "Kelly's Hero's" or "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
Jack shows up at Bluetooth's house. It is revealed that Bluetooth's wife had some sort of affair with his brother Jack before they got married, and Graham (Bluetooth) is still jealous. The wife, by the way, is the GORGEOUS Rena Sofer who I love, and for some reason never really made it big. wait... until today!!! because she is on 24!!!
When Jack roles up, he meets Bluetooths son who looks nothing like Bluetooth but quite a bit like Jack. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........
We end with Jack getting back to his regular torture tactics to get info about dad from his brother by placing a trash can liner on his face.
Darkane did it better.

Actually.... I just realized that tomorrow night i'll be at Jaxx...

Another lame episode, don't have too many takes for this one.
If 24 won't start being silly again I'll..........I'll..........
1 - "Tom" the 5 foot tall chief of staff or whatever he is, has taken over the white house. Last year the White House was in So Cali, this year its underground. It is simply not plausible that Tupac would have hired that dork when he could have hired MC Wren, Flavor Flav or DJ Run.
2 - After Karen, suddenly re-animated, resigns over "skeletons" in her closet, Nadia, the middle eastern girl in CTU finds out that her computer is running slow.
It turns out that the reason is that she is being "racially profiled" by Tom at the white house. Of course the top secret clearance that the goverment does before hand to every employee at CTU, never really counted!!
All you homies out there, remember to run virus scan & check your firewall the next time your computer starts running slow. I saw Bill Gates try to pimp the new MS Windows 'Vista' on Jon Stewart last night and trust your friendly Lioness, it won't help you.
3 - McCarthy and Fayed and that bimbo looking for nuclear triggers, who cares.
4 - Remember our pal that dates Tupac's sis who went into the terrorist huddle with the wire? The feds order him to run a New York City style street hustle (pickpocket the donkey without him noticing) on the one terrorist with the cell phone, and despite the fact that our pal is a nerdy lawyer, he pulls it off as if he'd been working the streets for years. Of course the terrorist (actually it turns out that these guys are not terrorists, they are just in some terrorist fan club) eventually figures out what happened and his crew proceeds with the mandatory beat down of our pal. The feds "scramble" to rescue him, but it takes them ten minutes to get 200 feet to help him out. They really are whiter than Tom Brady!
5 - Jack tortures Blue-Tooth-Guy-G into taking him to their dad. The producers of 24 must have known that we would be bummed out that Jack's dad was not played by Donald Sutherland, and they figured the best thing to do would be to find a dude who is about the right age (late 60's early 70's) and was at least 6 feet 10 inches tall (that is 2.2 meters for you overseas folks). Great idea....

i kill eggs. sue me.
Yes, I was VERY disappointed!!!!! Even Charlie Sheen can get his dad to cameo on his own sitcom! waaaahhh!
Wasn't it kinda odd that Jack called his brother a "son-of-a-bitch"??

Well considering that he also tortured his brother, no thats not odd.

1 - Tupac and his crew of insubordinate employees are still holed up in the massive bunker that is apparently beneath the White House.
A quick check with my "inside friends" revealed the fact that there is indeed a bunker underneath the white house, but it possibly doesn't look like a slick new York lounge bar with mahagony tables. Still, you have to admit, Tupac looks rather good in his suit around that mahagony table.
2 - While his CTU team wear these uniforms that are bigger and bulkier than those worn by astronauts, Jack looks like he just came back from shopping at the Gap. Speaking of astronauts, did you hear about that astronaut chick who freaked out because some guy she had a crush on turned out to be dating some other girl? What a fantastic uplifting story. Click on this think and you will see a photo of the "boyfriend" signing autographs due to his newfound fame.

3 - OK I got sidetracked. Last week they said they were very fortunate that the nuke did not blow up in a densely populated area. This week they said that the nuke caused about 12,000 fatalities. That is 4 times as many people who died in the Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Is it just me, or does everyone seem like they are sort of going through the motions on this? Its like suitcase nuke, unrest in the streets, habeas corpus schmorpus whatever.
4 - Shouldn't that mushroom cloud be gone by now?
5 - Pres declares NOT to suspend habeas corpus (I think that means you can arrest anyone you feel like once you do that), and everyone has these great sinister expressions on their faces. The Vice President who is on Air Force One (I thought the Veep flew Air Force Two) just steals the whole episode with his expression of contempt and disgust that he can't impose martial law.
6 - McCarthy figures out that there is one nuclear trigger expert who can help him detonate more nukes. It turns out that it is Morris, Chloe's Ex . McCarthy will need to kidnap him, piece of cake!
He just prank calls CTU that Morris's brother is in critical, so Morris jets out, despite complaints by Milo, or whatever that guy's name is who looks like he spends every evening at 18th Street Lounge with Paris Hilton in his lap. McCarthy cuts off Morris, forces him out of his car and into McCarthy's Maserati! OF course no one witnesses the scene. McCarthy's girlfriend looks impressed.
7 - The whole Jack Brother Dad thing makes no sense. Last week, it looked like Dad was the big boss of the company (nukes R us, or maybe nukes.com), then it turned out that Graem was the boss, as he ordered the bodyguard dudes to waste Jack & pops.
It turns out the whole thing was a setup, of course! Graem knew that Jack, unarmed and handcuffed would easily kill the two armed bodyguard/executioner guys which was a pretty safe bet if you watched last year.
When Graem proudly tells pops that he did not buckle to Jack's pressure under torture, except for letting out the minor details that Graem working for the "company" orchestrated the assassinations of Tony, Michelle, and the President of the United States, Pops Bauer is not impressed. He grabs that medical bag, with 17 syringes of various lengths arrayed like Hibachi knives, and injects Graem with a lethal dose.
All and all... what a great moment of Turture that was. Left me speechless.

Hey Jeff,
I'm so sorry I still haven't gotten back to you regarding the 24 episode...
Did you find it?

No worries Karen.
I looked on Bit Torrent, but can't find squat. Don't know if I like that site or not. Any suggestions?

I just knew they were gonna take Morris... then the call came about his brother and .... I'm rarely ever right!
There is no way in hell they'd leave anyone, even the old man, in the room with the prisoner like that. That just pissed me off. That room should've been monitored. dammit, now we're the only ones who know. how do we get through to Jack? lol Donald Sutherland wouldn't have done this....
Dearest Karen- did you get my pm?
