taking the time to chuck all the grenades that probably wouldnt kill all of them would be a waste of time. much better off blowin the bitch and getting a good jump on the russian turkeys

no, throwing them all would have taken way too much time; just one in the box, blow the van, and two slid hard under it toward the commie thugs (man, feels good to use that phrase again.) Remember the fun Stephen Seagal had with grenades in Under Siege?

Stop! Do not pursue that man! Do not…..BOOM!

(SP/EFX note: that drill bit looked a little big…)

Not the size that matters man. Just what you do with it.

Come on, somebody had to say it.

I am so glad I quit watching this show this year after hour 3 of prmier. Judging by the comments here it has gotten really lame. I half expect the bad guy to wind up being Bart Simpson with a healthy dose of Homer thrown in as the brains behind it all.

I wouldn’t rule out josh having a hand in the eventual demise of his grandfather. He is, after all…….rumored…..Jack’s son so one could expect a chip off the old block. But I pity him if the rumors are true about this, members of Jack’s family traditionally don’t fare too well. :)

Ok so we have Jack’s dad who is a well known Democrat rich dude who is involved with a shady Russian fascist who is supplying Iranian Islamofascists with nuclear arms to kill Americans and in a side story the well known Democrat rich dude is involved in a plot to possibly kill his own parties President. Totally unbelievable, Does George Soros even have a son?

This is getting as lame as an old B x W "Batman" serial from the 1940's that I saw on silent subtitled Super 8 when I got my first movie projector. Plot holes you could drive Al Gore's global ego through and inconsistencies the size of Bill Clinton's Goodwill-donated boxer's. Sutherland's skill is the only thing that keeps this spit and baling wire mess together. They need a fresh screenwriter. Call me. (I can mix Nietzsche with Raymond Chandler, metaphorically, and throw in some Sappho for sex appeal, with a leavening of John "Greenmantle" Buchan for the traditionalists.) The show's deus ex machinas are starting to strip their tremendously over-taxed 'squirm' gears. Nevertheless, like Professor Blather and Vinnie, I'll be there next week, a glutton for punishment. (SP/EFX note: that drill bit looked a little big...)

Now if I could just see the preview for next week. Global in BC decided to show previews for Heros and House instead of 24.

All I know for sure is that this is a stupid, silly, horribly written show.

And I can’t wait until next week.

“The disturbing thing is that although torture may cause Jack Bauer some angst, it is always the patriotic thing to do.”

The disturbing thing is that, even when torture is the prudent thing to do, it may cause Jack Bauer some anxiety.

Damn Soviets!! I knew it. This whole collapse of the iron curtain was nonsense. They are controlling those poor jihadis. Why didn’t we see it all along.

Johnny Sutton is prepairing the paper work to arrest Jack and the boys for violating the civil rights of the terroists in their pursuit of exploding an atomic bomb for “religious” reasons….. our country is safer now.

It’s not a “war”, it’s a “court procedure”, lawyer me up Johnny……. tricks, procedures, appeals…. and don’t forget, Spin and Nuance…

The President said, “Just one more nuke goes off – we’re talking about war…”

Uhh, wouldn’t we be talking about that after the first one? I think we would. 12,000 dead! Helloooo!?!

By: Jack Deth

Jack Deth — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:08:54 +0000

Sooo…who will take out Papa Bauer? Any bets?

My guess is Josh’s Mom, jatfla.

You can’t rule out the PO’ed Mom factor when it comes to vengeance. Especially after Papa Bauer admitted to killing Jack’s brother.

Second choice would be Josh.

Jack.

a tac nuke is gonna release EMP all over LA?

im not doubtin just wondering

Hi, Professor Blather:

I’d thought about Jack’s Tac Team’s Batting Average tonight.

Jack’s Brother’s thugs murder one team two weeks ago. Another gets blow’d up tonight… Not a great average.

Already mentioned CTU’s inability to tap into internal CTU/OEB/White House cell calls.

Anyone elso notice that the streets and Interstates around LA were pretty free of congestion and/or that there were no cars stopped due to EMP?

Jack.

Yes….I would have been dead from fear and shock!!

Thank you Professor. Me too. :~)

Okay, riddle me this, true believers….

How the HELL did Morris go back to work after having a drill pushed into his shoulder blade and getting his ass kicked for ten minutes?

*sigh* OK..so I DONT have any integrity..after posting last week I was finished with JB..I watched.I couldnt help myself. I blame globalwarming. But I for one do NOT think Curtis is DEAD..he was shot in the shoulder by JB and was NEVER said to be dead..not once..just "shot". I expect Curtis to be coming back! I predict the neoconguy will NOT be a conspirator. I predict he is a REAL Patriot and is going to stand by his President even THO he disagrees with him. I think he is setting up boyspy to find out who the REAL conspirators are..and I bet the Pres and he are in on this together! Just my 5cents (too many predictions for just two cents).

milo pulled a good move. concealed himself pretty well with the explosion. taking the time to chuck all the grenades that probably wouldnt kill all of them would be a waste of time. much better off blowin the bitch and getting a good jump on the russian turkeys

By: Professor Blather

Professor Blather — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 03:28:50 +0000

Out of curiosity … why can CTU seem to identify and record every single cell phone call …. except for those made right in CTU? Or in the White House?

And why has no one noticed that anybody on the “tac team” who goes anywhere with Jack ends up dead?

Has there ever been a season where they didn’t let one of the main bad guys into CTU itself?

All I know for sure is that this is a stupid, silly, horribly written show.

And I can’t wait until next week.

That article in the New yorker; I’d be less worried about the ideas that Jack Bauer gives to young soldiers than the ideas Democrats get from how to deal with a President they don’t like.

That was a pretty stupid waste. He should have rolled them under the van at the shooters; take a couple with him, detonate the rest. I can’t believe they killed Curtis off…he wouldn’t have started a car chase in a frigging ice cream truck.

He got to blow stuff up. That’s enough for me.

Man, I wish I had a job where I could play with grenades.
