24
FINALLY the football game is over. I hope everybody has visited the bathroom and is ready for some ACTION.
UPDATE: WE DON'T WANT THE SUBWAY POSTGAME SHOW. WE WANT JACK.
UPDATE: What the hell has Jimmy Johnson done to his hair?
UPDATE: Here we go. I pity the West Coast.
UPDATE: I hate the needle-to-the-heart part.
UPDATE: Jack is wearing a hard hat. They'll NEVER penetrate that disguise!
UPDATE: They're setting up a hard perimeter. That's always good.
UPDATE: WHOA! Chloe has a boyfriend! He's, like, 9, but still.
UPDATE: Frank's hot new girlfriend does not seem quite so hot now that we get a good look at her. But she is a major upgrade from Audrey.
UPDATE: The new girlfriend's surly teenage son looks alarmingly like Chloe.
UPDATE: Michelle is reminding Tony that they used to run
scenarios. That is SO romantic.
UPDATE: They got Michelle! These people are dropping like
flies.
UPDATE: Oral-B has a new toothbrush that looks genuinely scary.
UPDATE: Whoa. Edgar has not been skipping the Krispy Kremes.
UPDATE: NOW THEY'RE AFTER CHLOE. It's like they want to wipe
out everybody who had anything to do with the last season! And who can blame
them?
UPDATE: New Girlfriend (NGF) to Jack: "I can't thank
you enough for all the work you've done around here." Heheheheh.
UPDATE: Jack wants Chloe to go dark.
UPDATE: Jack got out his Secret Agent Kit! He's baaaaaaccckk!
UPDATE: NOT AUDREY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
UPDATE: The first lady is not taking this well.
UPDATE: Jack has commenced hitting people.
UPDATE: Jack is taking the NGF's surly teenage son (STS) in the helicopter. It's a chance for them to bond.
UPDATE: The First Lady says she is, quote, "not making this up."
UPDATE: Edgar is the size of a two-car garage.
UPDATE: They're not at speed! I hate it when people are after me and I'm not at speed.
UPDATE: Hey, Jack is stabbing now. Is that new? He was always more of a shooter.
UPDATE: Do NOT mess with Chloe.
UPDATE: The guy actually believed Jack wouldn't shoot him! Obviously he has never seen this show.
UPDATE: At this rate, by the end of the second hour there's going to be nobody left alive in Southern California.
UPDATE: Celebrity skating? Where will it end? Celebrity welding? Celebrity eye surgery?
UPDATE: Why are they showing the highlights of the first hour, which we JUST WATCHED??
UPDATE: Edgar ran it through a high-res filter. That's exactly how I would handle it.
UPDATE: Chloe's going to get Jack a schematic.
UPDATE: "Jack would never murder his friends."
UPDATE: Edgar is jealous.
UPDATE: President Manilow is SUCH a wienerhead.
UPDATE: They launch in less than an hour! (Who the hell are they?)
UPDATE: Jack's girlfriend is thinking she should have kept dating the plumber.
UPDATE: Chloe is reading the agents' transponders. She is some woman!
UPDATE: "Relax. He's really good at this."
UPDATE: Jack is booted up, and Chloe is uploading to him.
UPDATE: Jack is a smooth talker.
UPDATE: You rarely see that kind of cleavage on a first lady.
UPDATE: Edgar found out that Chloe's logged in remotely! With an external socket!
UPDATE: HEY! ASSASSINATED FORMER PRESIDENT ALLSTATE INSURANCE SPOKESPERSON IS ALIVE AND DOING COMMERCIALS!
UPDATE: I don't like the looks of the bald guy with the accent and the guns.
UPDATE: At some point, even the FBI is bound to notice all the unconscious agents lying around.
UPDATE: There's, like, dozens of agents after Jack. They have NO chance.
UPDATE: The girlfriend's on the 210 at the 10.
UPDATE: Chloe is a stand-up gal.
UPDATE: Jack really does care.
UPDATE: Somebody is messing with the first lady's mind, such as it is.
UPDATE: Edgar says there's chatter! They're sourcing it! The reliability's approaching 95 percent!
UPDATE: Eventually the bald guy is going to punch President Manilow out.
UPDATE: I see guys like that in the Miami Airport all the time.
UPDATE: You watch. The airlines will claim this is a weather delay.
UPDATE: OHMIGOD! THE WEASEL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT! HE'S IN ON IT!
UPDATE: Looks like there will be shooting tomorrow night.
OK, everybody take a handful of powerful sedatives and try to get some sleep. We'll recap tomorrow. You'll be on your own tomorrow night, but I think you have shown, in the comments section, that you are completely out of your minds up to the task.

This looks like a BK commercial circa 1972.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 09:50 PM
Is that Jack in the cape there? No wonder we didn't recognize him during the game.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 09:50 PM
Uh-oh, I need to do a Jack Bauer and fix the italics problem.
There.
:)

Ooops. Sorry.
Posted by: Marie in Kourou | January 15, 2006 at 09:51 PM
Did Audrey lighten her hair? She actually looks halfway maybe kinda decent.
Yeah, Edgar is huge!
Posted by: ThePinkPanther | January 15, 2006 at 09:51 PM
*will raise hand in 3 hours*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 09:51 PM
Shove.
Posted by: slyeyes | January 15, 2006 at 09:51 PM
Sad news is that was that actually was Michael Jackson doing Thriller on the American Idol spot. ;>
Posted by: Stormy Dragon | January 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM
They're driving all the way to Ontario????!!!!
Posted by: FleaBailey | January 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM
TC.H beat me to it.
I can't wait for Dave to resume the episode!
Posted by: Marie in Kourou | January 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM
Turn off italics
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM
OK people get serious...15 minutes to go...we can break 500 posts...but you've got to want it! Sue me...I think red-headed mom is truly hot..hope my wife doesn't read this
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 09:52 PM
As I am on the west coast and it is only 6:51 here, the show won't staart for another hour. And since I have to be up at 4:00 AM to work tomorrow (Damn Golden Globes. Does anyone even care?!?!) I have to go to bed. But thanks to the Blog and the bloglitts, I feel like I have already seen the show!
Posted by: AlanBoss | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
Chloe: "Hi!"
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
Posted by: bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
I bet the bodies aren't at the refinery when they get there...Marwan was there already...oops, sorry, wrong season.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
Edgar's going to make sure Chloe gets into a holding cell.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
Poor Chloe is going to be stuck in that ugly sweater for the whole season!
Posted by: sandy beach | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
Oooh. Edgar gets to take Chloe into a "holding cell."
I bet he's excited.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 09:53 PM
Whoa! Chloe in chains! Hot hot hot.
Posted by: scat | January 15, 2006 at 09:54 PM
Uh, Jack is talking about a life with red headed mom.
She's dead.
Posted by: Stormy Dragon | January 15, 2006 at 09:54 PM
phil- please sit down, I can't see the show.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
he really does care about the kid
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
What a touching speech. Really. I am touched. Deeply. I like to think he got through to the kid too.
Posted by: Bucket | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
Jack cares about Kid Cobain. The kid's toast.
Posted by: scat | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
I'm growing rather fond of First Lady Crazy.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
You think this is a record. Wait till the rest of the LGF crowd finds out about this place!!
Sorry Dave!
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
Don't you think that someone...some intern in the administration...would fix President Weenie's lapel pins? He must dress himself.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 09:55 PM
rat bastard Logan...he's gonna launch against Canada
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 09:56 PM
President Weenie just believes everything Bill Buchanan (BB) says.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 09:56 PM
the First Psycho is not having a good day
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 15, 2006 at 09:56 PM
Land where? Ontario airport?!?!
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 09:57 PM
Edgar's had to move about 20 feet this entire episode, but he seems more exhausted than Jack.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
Also, the show has another ten minutes as it started late (here in Tejas at least)
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
Apparently 'they' are 'launching' a UPS truck.
Posted by: Stormy Dragon | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
Is that Blofeld?!!
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
Oooh, Oooh, Ohhh... I know!!! TERRORISTS, RIGHT!?!?
Posted by: Bucket | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
Who are the LGF crowd, jlfintx?
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
"I don't care how many people die! I want my photo op!"
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 09:58 PM
What's with the oldish-type commercials?
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 09:59 PM
Hmmm...I may have to paraphrase Harry Belafonte and say that President Weenie is the biggest terrorist on the planet. I mean, he's going to let the copter be shot down, knowing full well that it's been done before, back in season 2. He does know that, doesn't he?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 09:59 PM
That's all Edgar ever does - chatter.
Well, that and eat.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 10:00 PM
Why was it racism to have bad guys of Middle Eastern descent last year yet it is ok to have bad guys of Russian descent this year?
Posted by: Joe Simmons (Slow Joe) | January 15, 2006 at 10:01 PM
okay...enough of the late breakfast guy from Whataburger...that's three times already
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 10:01 PM
Little Green Footballs Jessica R.
That is how I found out about this website. Don't mind us, just a bunch of redneck conservatives.
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:02 PM
Edgar converts his pining for Chloe to doughnut consumption. Yah,been there big guy :-/
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:02 PM
th.c guy,
seems like at least one copter gets shot down every season. (Remember Marwan's copter last season?) Never realized it until you pointed it out tho.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 10:02 PM
There you go. Bones is on Wednesday.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:02 PM
Hey Mom is kind of hot!
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:03 PM
Wow, mom is sooo stacked...
Posted by: sandy beach | January 15, 2006 at 10:03 PM
NGF is teh hotness. No really.
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:03 PM
time for Jack-Frank to unleash some serious Russian terrorist butt whupping
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 10:04 PM
That's cool jlfintx. we try to keep politics out of things around here. we make fun of EVERYONE.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 10:04 PM
Novel way to break up.
Posted by: scat | January 15, 2006 at 10:04 PM
Stand-by with that body count monitor...
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:05 PM
*Question*
Does Jack Bauer think that if he whispers all of the time "they" won't find him? Or was that an old CTU injust that hasn't fully healed?
Posted by: Bucket | January 15, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Please, please let President Weenie get shot.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Logan's gotta die.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:05 PM
His name was Edgar. He likes to chatter.
He's so huge and still getting fatter.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Hmm. What can Brown do to you?
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Derek is toast.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Cool! Surly kid is gonna try to help Jack and probably get shot!
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Kid Cobain...he's a hero! I've got to save the man who's not my dad!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 10:06 PM
INJURY that is
Posted by: Bucket | January 15, 2006 at 10:07 PM
Right. Here we go. Loved ones in danger in 5...4...3..2...
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:07 PM
how can the plot be weaker than last season?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | January 15, 2006 at 10:07 PM
Luckily Jack doesn't know we don't do torture any more.
Posted by: sandy beach | January 15, 2006 at 10:08 PM
Paging John McClane...
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:08 PM
Looks like a White Russian did it.
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:08 PM
This show needs a prozac commercial like nobody's business.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 10:08 PM
Why does this feel like Die Hard? And Jack is Bruce Willis?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 10:09 PM
First Lady's knocking back some little pink pills
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 10:09 PM
What does Dave have against bald guys anyway?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 10:09 PM
Why is everyone so sweaty and greasy looking?
And will it cause unforseen "slippage" and more thigh damage?
Posted by: MrFisher | January 15, 2006 at 10:10 PM
So what is the count? Don't see any numbers.
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:10 PM
You just gotta love our elected official's lackeys...sheesh!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 10:10 PM
Dave's gonna miss it, neener!
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 10:10 PM
How will I live through tomorrow's episodes without Dave's updates?
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Bumble, "Bones" is being moved to Wednesdays (after Idol) and "House" (the best show on TV!) is down until February.
Posted by: AlanBoss | January 15, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Is it just me or are Cobain Kid and Kim made for eachother?
Posted by: homeybeef | January 15, 2006 at 10:12 PM
Is it over? What's the thigh count?
Posted by: Marie in Kourou | January 15, 2006 at 10:12 PM
The bad guys better get armor. Jack 's gonna shoot them in the leg!
Posted by: moist | January 15, 2006 at 10:12 PM
I need a cigarette...
Posted by: Bizrey | January 15, 2006 at 10:13 PM
*phew* Didn't know if I was gonna make it. My Red Bull was just wearing off.
G'night, everyone!
Dave: Can you have Judi post your episode wrap-up before tomorrow night's show, and we'll just post updates to it?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | January 15, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Cobain kid's definitely gonna take a dirt nap tomorrow night
Posted by: philintexas | January 15, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Whew! That was incredible. I need a cigarette.
Posted by: FleaBailey | January 15, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Everyone is in varying degrees of perpetual mortal danger on this show.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Huh. That's odd.
The news here in ATL is not leading with a story on the Runaway Bride.
That's the most unrealistic thing I've seen tonite.
Posted by: qetzal | January 15, 2006 at 10:15 PM
Phew. Thanks Dave and all. I'm headed for a box of chocolates.
Posted by: scat | January 15, 2006 at 10:15 PM
Thanks for the laughs. See you next week.
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:16 PM
Yeah, Dave...do what tropichunt guy said.
Posted by: Sam G. | January 15, 2006 at 10:17 PM
Oh, lookie, I still have some time before 24 starts. If I hurry down the road, I can watch the girlfriend driving on the 210.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 15, 2006 at 10:18 PM
Is anyone else wondering if they had a frickin warrant for the intel that they just ignored anyway? It sounded like they were doing random wire taps.
Posted by: Jim Hoft | January 15, 2006 at 10:18 PM
jlfintx,
We're here all the time, but 24 is on again tomorrow.
Posted by: Jessica R. | January 15, 2006 at 10:19 PM
Dave,
Can you pre-write - uh - "put fuses on" some stock 24 criticism? Place these in Jud's magic 8 ball for posting in REAL TIME (8:00 Eastern, 7 pm on United )
Posted by: brian mcclure | January 15, 2006 at 10:19 PM
Jessica R.
Really, it is on again tomorrow. I guess I was out to lunch on that. So, then I shall see you tomorrow.
Btw, can someone get me a Celtic Woman for Christmas next year?
Just askin..
Posted by: jlfintx | January 15, 2006 at 10:21 PM
I home Jack has his charger with him, which reminds me, I need to switch my service to Marwand's company, they're great!
Posted by: Steve-O | January 15, 2006 at 10:26 PM
Goodnight all, My kidlets will be up bright and early.

Posted by: Bucket | January 15, 2006 at 10:27 PM
Heh heh...thanks, my family and I were checking your updates during the show...definitely a nice supplement :P I don't know about you, though, but I'm pretty disappointed with the lack of thigh-shooting on Jack's part. Honestly, if we can't count on Jack Bauer to put lead into peoples' upper leg, what CAN we count on?
