24

Here is where we stand:

Tony -- who is now so evil that at any moment his eyeballs are going to start glowing red -- and his evil girlfriend and fellow cabal-ster Cara are about to release the Deadly Fatal Swine Pathogen of the Apocalypse of Doom on the subway. Their plan is to frame an innocent Muslim person named Jibraan, whose brother, Hamid, was being held prisoner by one of Tony's thugs until Jack (who is still dying) and Renee came bursting in, at which point Hamid suddenly went Full Ninja, leaping up, punching a mirror, grabbing a glass shard and stabbing the thug in the neck. It was refreshing to see somebody stabbing a bad guy, since in recent episodes Jack has pretty much confined himself to stabbing his own personal arm with a needle.

In other action last week, Jon Voight was converted to subatomic particles in an SUV explosion, so he is probably out of the plot for good, although you never know. First Daughter Olivia, who is currently the president's acting chief of staff as well as Secretary of State, Surgeon General and CEO of Chrysler, had hired an assassin named Martin to kill Voight, but then she changed her mind, so she called Martin to find out what happened, and he said he wants to meet her in a park, where presumably he will kill her or (remember, this is Olivia) they will have sex.

From the previews, we know that this week Kim and her stem cells will (Surprise!) return. We also know that, for the third time this season, Jack will be pointing a gun at Tony. And of course we know that Edgar is still dead.

Speaking of tragedies: I am unable to join you this evening, because I'm in California attempting to break into show business. But I'm sure you'll all do a fine job of analyzing the plot down in the comments section. Be sure to hang around for the post-show wrapup by The Amazing Steve.

Meanwhile, here is your scientific poll:

Do you think this time Jack will actually kill Tony?
	Yes.
	No.
	Jack had better kill SOMEBODY.
	He'll be just about to shoot, but instead they'll embrace in a passionate, long-overdue kiss.
	And then Olivia will join them.
	Montpelier.

I'm here!

[Siouxie]

At this point I'll settle for Jack "head-butting" someone.

[Cassie]

Hey, they could show that pink nekkid costume. Appalling in good taste, but man I laughed so hard.

[trustf8]

Those pictures are just LOL funny: I can't wait impatiently any longer *DRINKS to DAVE*

[Kevin in Jax]

From the previews there sure seems to be a lot of people on the Metro at 5 o'clock in the morning.

I don't think Joe Biden gets in from Wilmington, DE until 10.

[Siouxie]

Maybe Dave can get Steve Martin to blog after their show. It would pretty much be the highlight of the evening.

[Wes S.]

MMMOOOooooo!

[Diva]

Kevin, I read that as "Joe Bidet."

*starts drinking*

Also, I'm SO JEALOUS THAT YOU GET TO MEET STEVE MARTIN, Dave!!! That's a double bill I'd have paid $5 to see!

[Cassie]

What's gonna suck is that I'm working next Monday during the finale. Oh well, can't live blog them all, but dammit, I'll have as much as I can.

[tw]

Dave - I've never been so excited to see Kim....great picture!

Wait....maybe I should re-phrase that....

[Doc Rick]

What I don't understand is why FOX hasn't taken the logical leap and had Dr. House crossover onto "24" to save Jack. I don't watch the show but apparently dude save people with all sorts of wacky health issues each week.

[Diva]

Oh, Siouxie - dare we even dream?! *swooooon!* Steve is like the hottest guy. I've been in love with him for years!

(*waves at THE Wild and Crazy Steve Martin just on the off chance that he might see me*)

[Wes S.]

Little Kimmy has certainly grown up. She's practically a cougar herself now...

[Diva]

Hey, Doc! Nice to see you here for a long-overdue change. :)

[Renee (the First)]

I'm just a little bit squicked out that Cameron wants to keep her late husband's sperm because she doesn't want to destroy the only thing she has left of his. Couldn't he have left her a nice piece of jewelry?

[Diva]

*swats Wes*

[Doc Rick]

Thanks for the greeting Diva. Just back in this week for a special guest appearance.

[trustf8]

Kumar 'crossed over' from 24 to House.
Didn't turn out so well.

[Diva]

Renee: ew

[Siouxie]

Hola, Rick!

Renee, imagine if she had kept some appendage instead. You know how much doctors love keeping assorted organs.

[Doc Rick]

Good point trustf8. Dude died on both shows come to think of it. Shoulda just stayed on the weed and make late night runs to White Castle.

[Diva]

I STILL haven't ever seen that movie.

[nursecindy]

Do you think if we ask nice, Dave would give Steve Martin a little kiss and/or hug from all us blog ladies?? Please??

[MartiniShark]

Pulling away from a 2-2 playoff game to be with you disturbed urchins. Too cool.

[Loudmouth]

If Jack does not kill, maim or blow up someone I hope they at least have the decency to make it really, really dumb.

[Diva]

cindy, I'd pay $5 to see THAT too!

*waves @ Sharkie* Hiya!

[Cassie]

I'm waiting for the cougar to stalk Spawn.

[Doc Rick]

ACK! Mention Kumar and he appears. Spooky....

[trustf8]

Heck with that, cin...
* Sling shots panties around neck of banjo *

[Siouxie]

Yipes. House is going nutso.

[Diva]

do do DO do, do do DO dooooo...

[homeybeef]

I know I say this every week but...WTF House!?!

[Tori Lennox]

Why did they park so far from the door of wherever House is going, I wonder?

[Wes S.]

House is going back to college?

[Wes S.]

Oh, never mind; that's the funny farm. Good place for him...

[nursecindy]

I would love to be House's nurse. He would get very good care. Siouxie you could help me out couldn't you?

[Tori Lennox]

And what a grim place they took House, too. Looks like a 19th Century madhouse.

[tw]

Now Fox is ripping off High School Musical???

[Cassie]

House, that's the weirdest segue I've ever seen.

[Siouxie]

Tori, they needed that dramatic walk to the mental institution.

[MartiniShark]

So they are incarcerating House in the Boobie-Hutch, where he will become lead writer for next season's "24".

[Diva]

Hey, homey! Nice to see ya!

[Cassie]

AAACCCCKKKKK Oliva

[Loudmouth]

Gay Club. NTTAWT

[Suzy Q]

Ack! I'm here!

[Siouxie]

And yes, cindy...I would definitely help!

[Jeep]

sad ending to House

[Suzy Q]

House pissed me off. It was all a dream! Just like Dallas. Grr.

[Siouxie]

Suzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

*clinks wine glass* CHEERS!!!

[Loudmouth]

Kiss the Imam, Jack.

[Gennita Low]

Hiya, everyone, so did House imagined his left hand made love to Cuddy? I'm confused.

[AC (Not Mallett)]

I'm hoping this episode is better than last week. Even if it's not, my live blog will be worse than last week!

[Suzy Q]

Also, I totally saw the redshirting of Jon Voight last week.

[homeybeef]

Hello Diva.

It's ok people, Tony is not evil, he is working double secret undercover with Bill who is not really dead. It makes plenty of sense for this show

[Doc Rick]

Honestly, I didn't know Pakistan had ninjas.

[Diva]

Hey, Suz and Gen! Pull up a box o' wine and join the fun!

[Wes S.]

Eight to ten thousand more cases of mad cow? I'm not sure Kimmy has enough stem cells for everybody...

[tw]

homeybeef: And George Mason is the mastermind behind both Bill and Tony!

[Tori Lennox]

Didn't this guy play an NSA agent awhile back on some CBS show?

[Diva]

homey - from your mouth to God's Fox's ears.

[MartiniShark]

"Armed-Hostile"? You know, just "armed' works for me. He's angry, hopped up on medication, with a prediliction towards violence and a murder conviction.....AND dangerous."

[tw]

is that a Peruvian flute band playing in the background????

[Gennita Low]

Hi Diva,
After House, I need my vodka.

[Suzy Q]

*clinks glass with box*

Hey, Sioux!

[Cassie]

Gennita, House was on the holodeck. ;-)

[Siouxie]

Let's home typepoop doesn't act up tonight or i'm gonna have to butt-head the bot.

[Renee (the First)]

Diva, my blog buddy, so good to have you here!

[Diva]

He's the new Kumar.

[Suzy Q]

I see EvilDeadTony is still up to no good.

[Loudmouth]

It's Metro Center you dunderheads.

[Siouxie]

Hey! it's Cat Stevens.

[Gennita Low]

Dying badly is the ultimate goal in 24, doesn't Tony know? Dying badly and coming back in leather and manliner.

[MartiniShark]

And Miss Q made it, Cheers.

[Cheesewiz]

Just how many times does Tony have to play the dead brother card?

And for the record there is no "Washington Center."

[Diva]

*trades out Gen's box o' booze for a bottle o' potato juice*

[Suzy Q]

Music and schematics. Yawn.

[Jeep]

she looked better as a blonde

[tw]

why is she disguising herself like Jennie Girrafolo????

[Gennita Low]

I kinda like this girlfriend with her freaky wigs.

[Momanon]

If you farted in front of Tony would his expression change?

[homeybeef]

Should we drink every time she puts on a wig?

[Diva]

You know, Renee, we might have to do the Post Hunt via cell phone on Sunday.... ;)

[Jeep]

morphine!!!

[MartiniShark]

Thank goodness the foreign guys are wearing merchant marine caps so we know who they are.

[Suzy Q]

Hey, Shark! What's your brew of choice this eve? LandShark?

[Wes S.]

"Shock and pain."

And your point is, Mister EMT guy...?

[Cheesewiz]

Jack learned that in med school.

[Gennita Low]

Come on, Jac, take a pencil.

[Diva]

*DRINKS!!*

Suzy said "schematics."

[Renee (the First)]

Don't tell Jack that! He thrives on pain.

(Why does this blog jump around when I try to post? More fun with TypePoop.)

[Diva]

YAY! Torture!!

[Siouxie]

Time for some water boarding...

[Loudmouth]

The morphine nazi. No Morphine for You.

[Suzy Q]

DO IT, JACK!!! Torture him!!!!

[MartiniShark]

"...The Target is in the Wal-Mart plaza, I passed it on the way here, I SWEAR!"

[Cassie]

Isn't that the same EMT when Lasagna died?

[Jeep]

he doesn't think this is a problem?

[Diva]

CHLOE!!

[Gennita Low]

Wow, Jack has the Ninja Digit of Doom.
