24 Quick Thoughts

-Keiffer Sutherland's height disadvantage is very apparent this year. I had heard that his contract used to protect him from working with tall actors, that must have expired.

-Jack Bauer is crazy. Many people say Andy Sipowicz was the most developed TV character in history, and I can see that. But spending 7 whole days (and 2 extra hours) with Jack Bauer kind of gives you an idea of how he thinks, about everything. And he is crazy. Certifiable.

-Bill and Chloe run their own secret agency - just the two of them, and now Tony and Jack. How cute and totally unrealistic. Completely. I am willing to let it go because its cute that our four favorite characters are basically breaking every law in the history of mankind in order to protect the USA from itself - there is no possible way this can end well. No way.

-Can't wait for them to explain who is funding Bill and Chloe, and they will need to address that.

-I like the 'Son of the President didn't commit suicide' B-story because the writers got smart and it will blend into the A-story.

-After my last post about pro-torture, they took it even further with Jeanine Garrafalo represeting US Laws and the new FBI agent representing the Bush Adminsitration. It was an adorable fight.

Agent: If I dont question this guy before his lawyer shows up, we won't get anywhere

Garraflalo: We cannot do this, he asked for a lawyer - that is the law. We have laws. We have to stand down and leave the room.

And in classic 24 fashion? Garrafalo was sent out while FBI agent stuck her gun deep into the gun shot wound of the man being questioned, then shutting off his air supply. And guess what....she got the information she needed to move the plot along before the lawyers got there. This show is actually the posterchild for our torture proceedures, and you actually kind of agree with it. Argh, what is happening to my brain...need...Air....America...Radio....now....call....Rachel....Maddow...
