As a person who has had severe knee injuries before, that made me fucking CRINGE ;__;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sucks about Curtis =( He's definitely one of my favorite characters. I mean come on, he handled field ops with Jack and wasn't as annoying as fuck (see Chase).

As far as threats, there are only so many things you can do, I'd figure -- assassinations and WMDs. There's probably more than meets the eye right now. This badguy right now might get whacked mid-season and the real mastermind will show up. Season 2 had an oil scheme behind the terrorism and what-not, and this might have something brewing as well.

I agree, Morris-Milo thing was kinda irritating. Chloe didn't seem the type to recognize "zomg drama~" on sight. But still, I wish they'd ditch drama and keep this to action.

It's a good thing that the father in that family bought the farm in the nuke. Probably means that in another episode or so, that family will be out of it. Or so I hope... Kumar (lol) died en route to the hospital, dad died, don't think they'd need the family anymore beyond telling them that the guy was caught in the nuke.

Still, I'd like to see Audrey come up in this. They'd better not bring Kim into it, because her emo shit pissed me off in S5, along with her boinking her shrink. Or whoever that guy was.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Am I the only guy who wasn't upset when Edgar died? I thought he powertripped way too much when he got above Chloe >_<

Also, don't count on flashbacks. This acts in real-time, and I doubt they would allow Jack to stare at nothing whilst wide-eyed for about five minutes =p

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

No worries, Jazz. Half the characters you don't like will probably be dead by mid-season =p However, it'll take 'till Season 7 before the timely CTU personnel wipe via terrorist attack. Or so one would THINK!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Preview for Next Week:

Cromwell as Jack's dad will be awesome =D

Still, I dunno why, but I just burst out laughing when Jack pulled out the plastic baggie for his brother =p And yeah, the kid probably is his. The way he acted toward him seemed awkward in a way that it'd fit with that.

Jack's endless list of girlfriends and old flames sure is getting old though. He had an affair while Teri was still around, and maybe had a kid. I dunno... =( But yeah, nice episode~

I don't like any of the Palmers though. Wish they'd axe them from the story. But now that we have another sibling, even if Wayne is killed, we're stuck with the sister... MRS. PALMER FOR PRESIDENT LOLOSHIT ><

Most amazing jew boots

Jack's whole "I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE~" is gonna fall off the map just like his drug addiction did in S3. The writers go "yea, this works~ Uhm... Fuck, let's drop it."

FELIPE NO

The part cost a loooot of money (more than he was given), and the dad needed it or else his family would die. Lacked the money, low on time, family's life in peril... That old chestnut. Either way, it was either kill him or walk out and let his family die.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

He didn't know that the part was for a nuke.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, this week's episode was "meh". Nothing really surprised me, to be honest >_> Oh well! Always next week!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Needs more Nazis.

VILLAINS FOR SEASON 7? ZOMBIE NAZIS?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This episode was better than the last, thankfully. But the twist with Morris was intriguing. I figured it was gonna be someone from the cast, but not him =I I did think it was lame at first that they were replaying the same drama thing that happened with Edgar (his mother being caught and he can't leave). Glad to see it wasn't a repeat of the plot element.

The last few minutes didn't really sneak up on me. I figured Jack's father had a hand in things. Didn't think he was THE badguy, but I figured he noticed something was up some time ago. Still, interesting to see :3

Glad to see that Wayne and his sister as well as Walid were at a minimum in this episode. I hate those characters so much ><

I did enjoy seeing Jack snap when his brother told him of the assassination stuff =D Very interesting. The trailer for next week looks fantastic. Two hours long? omg <3

Was the whole subplot with Walid and Sandra Palmer just meant to play Wayne into not backing Lennox's plan? Figured something would pop up amid the end, kinda like they found something important. Maybe not?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Huh. No wonder the kid looks so horrid =p

I was speaking idiomatically.

I figured he kept her in the dark on what he did. But he pulls over Morris and uses her to help cuff him? Seemed a bit out of place or out of character from what I'd seen thus far. But we'll see!

How he kept an eye on her (like stopping her from going to the snack machine) made me think she didn't know very much and he didn't trust her too well.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm curious how they'll get Morris to play ball. Maybe he'll make a killswitch for the detonator or something of the sort, and take advantage of it later? Either way, I'm sure he knows they'll kill him once they have all the nukes armed.

Spoiler:

Evidently he *does* play ball, since the trailer for next week showed Jack talking about an armed nuke.

FELIPE NO

Oof. It's an hour earlier, to boot =o I need to get my studying done early...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I rather liked Milo's getaway. Refreshing that he isn't nervous under fire like Chloe, despite being a techie =p

Still, kinda mad at Graem's wife (whatever her name is) for not telling Jack what happened on the phone. Not like Jack would go "BLOL FUK NO. SCREW MY NEPHEW/POSSIBLE SON " Good to see that he gets pissed at her. And Morris.

I'm rather pleased that it's not pussyfooted around that Morris made the triggers. "O u were torcher'd. Who could blame u bro <3"

Laughin' about "Kim Jr" right now ='D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I shouldn't watch previews either =( Still waiting on Audrey to kick back in. But maybe Jack's immediate family is causing more than enough drama for most folks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Edgar's death didn't upset me. REALLY! =( Did it bum everyone else out real bad? 'Cuz his power-tripping bugged the hell outta me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Quite a nice episode =D Must say that I REALLY didn't see the last part of the episode coming (with former prez being the man Jack is to go to). I figured Lennox would have second-thoughts, just from how unsure he was about the whole situation. I'm guessing Fayed will be on the backburner for a while, though. Gridenko is numero uno for now. Fayed will probably be the bad guy again for the last half of the season.

Wonder if he's the dude behind Wayne Palmer's assassination attempt?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This show never has all the cards on the table =p Anyhow, it's just a hunch.

And 24 has a habit of dividing bad guys in two groups. One in the first half of the season, the latter bad guys in the last half.

I'm sure they'll find Gridenko, but Fayed will probably have all the nukes by then and they'll need to track him down just before he uses them.

Just guessing, since the show is a bit formulaic.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Stop wondering? Then what's the point of this thread? =P

Less Morris, more Milo I say. I guess he won't go out in the field again, so rats :O I don't like how CTU has been worthless lately, though. Alternate leads aren't being used, and the storyline with Wayne seems to be slowly ongoing.

Jack's old man will probably crop up again later. Wonder what his aim was, though...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I doubt Logan was jailed per se. He had the book thrown at him in private, but if his connection to the shitstorm in S5 got out, the presidency would've been ruined. It could've been done behind closed doors and the public was exposed to some bogus story. Or maybe he stepped down due to stress, supposedly.

He probably is moreso under house arrest of sorts, presently. But I could very well be wrong. You'll notice, though, that Jack's response to him wasn't along the lines of "why aren't you still in jail".

FELIPE NO

He forgot to carry a "one" when he was pulling together the radius =o

Nothing exciting. Not much Jack, a lot of the politicians. I'd prefer more Jack... And next week looks like it'll deliver. Which is nifty :3

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I admit, I figured Jack would've called before moving =( Oh well.

I'm curious... There's a new head to Field Ops? We'll see how this goes. He's most likely Curtis' replacement. Wonder how he'll mesh with Jack?... The replacement in S4 bashed heads with him and ended up dead later on ;3 Wonder if this guy will have more sense.

Also, how does Logan get around to visiting his wife and Aaron?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
