24

To summarize the situation: Last week, in downtown Los Angeles -- which is famous for this kind of traffic snafu -- the terrorists attacked the Russian president's motorcade, which also contained the First Lady. The terrorists used machine guns, a missile and a flamethrower, apparently purchased at one of the many Terrorist Depot stores in Southern California, but CTU thwarted the attack, and now the terrorists are threatening, for like the 300th time, to unleash the Fatal Deadly Lethal Toxic Nerve Gas Canisters of Death, which have been trucked all over Southern California and are currently on a VIP tour of Knott's Berry Farm. Jack Bauer was not involved in the thwarting because he was locked in a room with a bomb, which blew up and pretty much knocked down the building, but of course it did not in any way harm Jack.

Meanwhile back at CTU HQ the Hobbit has been removed from power via a Section 112. The president is still an idiot (I mean the one in the show). Jack's hot new girlfriend is still totally missing from the plot. Audrey continues to play a major role in the plot. They are trying to make us like Audrey this year by not having her weep everytime somebody farts, but it is not going to work.Edgar continues to grow exponentially and is currently the size of New Zealand.

I leave the analysis of tonight's show in your hands. Good luck. If you see a montage, you have mistakenly tuned in to the Academy Awards, which are just starting to wind down.

isn't this like deja vu except it's not Audrey's brother????

[Nate]

Robocop sweats?

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Jack: Lord Robocop?

Robocop: Yes, master?

Jack: RIIIIIISSSEEEE!

[Glow]

Robocop is half metal, though. It won't be easy to torture him.

[Antonio]

Stop this insanity! hehe

[homeybeef]

could this be the graphic violence they promise every week?

[CoastRaven]

He doesnt look "ready" for interrogation... maybe ready for another shot though.

[Sam G.]

That guy's not fun to look at.

[Betsy]

So...is that sodium pentothol?

[Glow]

No, wait, I saw this in Alias. He's going to get all hippified.

[Antonio]

XMEN trailer???

[Reddish Jode]

Robocop is half metal, though. It won't be easy to torture him.

They could threaten to use a strong abraiser cleaner on him, which would ruin his finish.

[Glow]

One canister is in the perimeter of CTU, so there are, like three left? Someone has to keep count....

[Betsy]

So...the guy on the table is the husband of the thigh-shot broad, and they're still trying to access the shadow files??? am I anywhere near on target?

[mr.t1000]

Only a moment away!

[CoastRaven]

Yessssss - X-Men trailer soon!

[KOW]

I know it's wrong to mix obsessions, but oooooh.... X3 trailer *DROOL*

[joe]

I want one of those levano's. I like the idea of a computer that I can use to grow plants on.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

We're only "moments away" from the new "X Men" "trailer".

GET IN YOUR FLANK 2 POSITIONS NOW! ALERT! GET IN YOUR FLANK 2 POSITIONS NOW!

(I bet we all look like Robocop being tortured by the end of the trailer...)

[Reddish Jode]

Hey, you know what they should do for next year's 24?

24:THE MUSICAL!

[Nate]

It wasn't sodium pentothol- it was brasso.

[Betsy]

Ah! OK...but am I correct that he's Mariam/Miriam/Muryam's husband???

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Hey, anyone seen judi lately?

Hey, judi! Andy Garcia's right here with me, and you're not answering your phone! ;)

[Sam G.]

It's fine to mix obsessions!
Ooooh, X3 trailer....
Ooooh, Chex Mix! *Drools*

[jim]

[CoastRaven]

Season 5: THE TOUCHY FEELY SEASON

[Antonio]

Mike wants action....

[Glow]

Oh yeah, bring out the prayer card.

[homeybeef]

this moment brought to you by the writers of the oc

[Sam G.]

I totally missed the day to night transition.
I guess I'm even worse at paying attention than I thought.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

The sad thing is, President Manilow thinks "martial law" involves a sheriff named Bruce Lee...

[Adonis]

Thank you for letting me run amok and get that out of my system judi. You are the blessed blog goddess. As per usual tho, security is much tighter at the Oscars than at CTU.

[Reddish Jode]

I don't think the President needs her.

I think the President needs Heath Ledger.

[bizrey]

Betsy, you are correct

[Glow]

24: The Invasion

[philintexas]

Chloe to the rescue

[StevO]

I know I've been kind of quiet tonight but don't they do something to disable Hobbit's card when they lock him up?

[Antonio]

She's gonna die because of Edgar.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Well, she's toast because she noticed the A/C not working...

[Nate]

Oh man... she's dead.

[Glow]

Way to go, Edgar. You could have scored.

[Betsy]

Canisters, canisters everywhere....and Edgar is gonna be sorry he didn't lissen to what's her name

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Hey, the nerve gas cannisters of doom are USB enabled! Cool! I wonder if I can hook up my little coffee-mug warmer to them to keep my tea warm...

[bizrey]

Woah,Edgar "snapping" at you could be hazardous to your health! But I suppose it doesn't matter 'cause it looks like Carrie is about to suddenly die.

[Antonio]

The prez thinks it's Mike holding him....

[CoastRaven]

What happens when the clock gets to 6:66:66?

[philintexas]

First Cleavage is caving

[joe]

what is with this touchy feely crap. Shoot her in the leg. by the way, that broad is to hot to die.

[Antonio]

It was nice knowing ya!

XMEN??????

[mr.t1000]

Worst. Security. Ever.

[Betsy]

Good bye Carrie

[CoastRaven]

So the pres is a little bit country and first lady cleavage is a little bit rock and roll?

[Glow]

Boy, they weren't joking about the violence warning tonight!

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Damnit, Jack won't stab anyone, so the terrorist has to take matters into his own hands...

[bizrey]

Carrie!!!! T_T

[KOW]

Is that the same tech that Lynn fired? This is REALLY not her day.

[joe]

I stand corrected

[mnich]

Where's Chloe to go deux ex machinas when you need her?

[Sam G.]

Hah. What a good terrorist. He doesn't take her phone or turn it off of anything...

[StevO]

Wow, what a bad place to hide from bad guys...CTU

[Nate]

Of course, like any maintenence room, its eerily lit with lots of shadowy corners to hide in...

[jim]

she may not really be dead...

it could just be faked

for security reasons

[Glow]

Body count is fabulous tonight. I think I'll smoke a cigarette now.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Stev0: Well, that's what Jack did in the last hour...he said that the other guy wouldn't be expecting him 'cos he was dead...thus forgetting the first Law of Jack:

You presume Jack dead? You are dead.

XMEN TRAILER! FLANK 2! NOW!

[Antonio]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!11

[CoastRaven]

HERE IT IS!!!

[Sam G.]

Hurrah! X3!

[Betsy]

Nate...I noticed that:) Always helpful to do maintenance in the dark.

[Reddish Jode]

You know what it takes to beat X-Men?

Y-Men!

[Kevin in Jacksonville]

More X men?

[CoastRaven]

"& I STIIIILLLLL HAVENT FOUUUNNNDD WHAT I'M LOOKIN FOOOOOORRR"

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Boy, Haley Barrie (?sp) sure hasn't aged well...

[Stolzi]

Yay X Men Yay!!!

[bizrey]

AAHHHHHHHH!!! X-Men Trailer -- total geekgasm!

[Glow]

WOOT, the trailer!

[readingbtl]

Sending the new tech into check what is happening where the bomb is being placed… really too predictable. Since Kim is in the building with her shrink/whatever and the guy with the gas or whatever it is, is also in CTU… let’s lay odds something is going to happen to Kim.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Jeez, the terrorists give little babies and sick people 10 minutes, but the guys fighting against you get 15 minutes...

[Sam G.]

That was a good trailer. Maybe there'll be some adequate movies this year...

[Antonio]

I'm spent :)

[Kevin in Jacksonville]

just slap the little brat

[StevO]

It would sure be nice to go to work just onnnne day and not have people whining about their personal life@!

[Glow]

Yeah, Chloe, knock some sense in that blondie's head.

[tropichunt.com guy™]

Way to go, Chloe. Bill won't tell Soul Patch anything 'cos it's classified, but you'll spill the beans to anyone next to your workstation...

[bizrey]

Wow, so Chloe is so wise and stuff. It's like she's the Gandalf of the group

[mnich]

that hobbit can cry like none other

[Nate]

Sorry Lynn... they didn't find the ring

[Glow]

ummm...why not bring up your missing keycard, Hobbitt Boy?

[CoastRaven]

Mr Frodo - they CAN'T be dead!!

[StevO]

or ... needed a CTU card really bad?

[Stolzi]

Doesn't Lynn look awfully puffy in the face all of a sudden?

[Kevin in Jacksonville]

24 meets the Sopranos!!

[Betsy]

Jeez...she was the Hobbit's sister. The hell with organized crime and drugs. Duh!

[bizrey]

Yay! Hobbit regains his sanity!! But I blame him for Carrie dying >:(

[Kevin in Jacksonville]

lockdown!

[Glow]

Now, they are worried about his keycard. Lock down, lock down.

[CoastRaven]

The call is coming from IN THE HOUSE!

[Nate]

His batteries are dying!

[Reddish Jode]

I would say something about Jacks' daughter being hot, but then Jack would kill me.

In fact, he may already be on his way.
