Due to some graphic violence, viewer discretion is advised

The following takes place between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. right before C takes A to the dr. for the umpteenth case of strep throat in the past 12 months.

Well, that was somewhat horrifying. I even forgot to look for C. Thomas Howell who I saw from the opening credits was on the show last night. Missed him...did anyone else pick him out? Although I did call it from the beginning of last night's show...."it's time for a 'regular' character to die". But my first guess was Curtis until he saved the day and then I saw Edgar lumbering down to the basement...

*who's still rotten in the President's cabinet? the vp or mike novak are my guesses. but you know it has to be someone b/c Lynn was just put at CTU TODAY, and the bad guys already set him up.

* don't you think that a place like CTU would have metal detectors that everyone who entered would have to pass through? that bad guy and his briefcase just strolled right in with simple key-card trickery.

* it was nice to see Kim again, but I fear that her new boyfriend is going to be the "someone must make the ultimate sacrifice" we heard about in the previews.

* I think that a whole lot of problems could be taken care of early if Jack would just teach a class on "Sneaking Up on the Bad Guys" to everyone at CTU

"If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward." - JH

editor's note: c just researched the question and discovered that C. Thomas Howell is the guy playing Kim's boyfriend/psychiatrist!!! shocking. he's not nearly as, um...poster-worthy as he was back in the day when he was Ponyboy Curtis from The Outsiders. Man, we're getting old.

c, i very much enjoyed reading your comments on our fav show, i am wondering who JH is.
BKJ spent a week in midland with her friends attending classes at MCA. I went to pick her up saturday (got to spend night with JO and DO who now have a dog much to RKJ's delight). But ANYWAY I had this overwhelming grief as I drove into Midland that I had to
quench by going through the drive thru at chick-fil-a and I EXACTLY PINPOINTED the source of the grief:
Your family no longer lives in midland!!!! This is very grievous.
I could have driven a much shorter distance to have seen you!! Then, BKJ informed me that while she was at church on Sun. A>M> at CBC she kept looking around thinking, okay now who is it i'm looking for, and then realized she was looking for YOUR FAMILY!!!! Sorry for the length of this comment.

INTERNATIONAL COALITION UNITES TO BOYCOTT THIS BLOG:
Due to her continual disregard to our repeated pleas and blatantly ignoring the position that those living overseas are placed in due to superiority of American entertainment, we have no other option but to boycott the reading of this blog until further notice.

Being told what is going to happen on 24 before one is able to see it personally is a great travesty. It seems that "Because she can," she has thrown sensitivity out the window somewhere along too many trips down I-20.

Fox does have a sister station in the UK - Sky - but Sky is too cheap to pay for rights to show it in-sync with the US. Instead the episodes come 3-4 weeks later. AND for those of us only have a tv license and not full cable, it may be many more weeks still.

The boycott will include, but is not limited to, ignoring links, google desktop alerts of new posts, and voluntarily skipping the entertaining thoughts provided by the author - and for a period of no less than 3 months, no visits to the author's home.

This is a peaceful boycott and we hope that someday friendly relations can resume. You know how to contact us when you're ready to negotiate.

a. a coalition of 2???
b. does this mean you WILL be visiting in 3 months? we'll look forward to that.
c. I have not thrown sensitivity out the window without first taking an envious look at the view. With your well documented European place-name dropping and lack of interest in fantasy basketball, I simply assumed that you had moved on to bigger and better things.
d. still, i am somewhat saddened that you are choosing to boycott the blog. since I still have no microphone thingy for the computer, how will we communicate?
