24
Tonight I'm turning over a new leaf. I have decided to stop being so picky about the plot. I'm going to go with the flow. My new motto regarding the plot is, quote: "Whatever."
UPDATE: Hey, whatever happened to Jack's hot new girlfriend? Just wondering here.
UPDATE: The president has a great TV screen. It's good to be president, TV-screenwise.
UPDATE: I wonder how come Mike and the president don't notice the drums in the soundtrack.
UPDATE: It's a good thing I'm going with the flow, plotwise, because so far it's WAYYY too much talking.
UPDATE: I think the First Lady should make the motorcade stop at a McDonald's drive-thru. THAT would foil the terrorists.
UPDATE: Chloe is in.
UPDATE: Jack is in. This usually means talking time is over.
UPDATE: Wouldn't it be funny if Jack actually WENT to the men's room? For a change? Chloe could flush the urinal remotely.
UPDATE: A taser! Whoa. HE TASERED JACK!
UPDATE: It's bunker time.
UPDATE: Toyota's Think Big Truck Event is still going on.
UPDATE: Speaking of thinking big: Edgar is doubling in size every hour.
UPDATE: The Hobbit has turned to the Dark Side.
UPDATE: One of the terrorists is using a Swedish accent.
UPDATE: Section 112! That's a serious section.
UPDATE: Does it seem like we already had this scene between Mike and the president like 287 times already? Not that I am being critical.
UPDATE: Praying. That should do it.
UPDATE: Mutiny at CTU!
UPDATE: OK, to summarize tonight's action so far, at the 40-minute mark: Bupkis. But that's OK!
UPDATE: Jack! I forgot about him. Is he still in this show?
UPDATE: So OK, with a head-of-state motorcade coming through, nobody happened to notice that there were guys along the route IN DOWNTOWN LA WITH BAZOOKAS?? OK, whatever.
UPDATE: AND A FRICKING FLAMETHROWER???
UPDATE: Meanwhile, Jack and that other guy have been awfully quiet in that bunker, not that I am suggesting anything.
UPDATE: Nobody called Jack to tell him about the flamethrower 'n' stuff. He will be TICKED.
UPDATE: Nothing more exciting than watching two guys look at computer records.
UPDATE: Jack got hisself tricked bigtime.
UPDATE: He thought he could kill Jack just by blowing him up with a huge explosion! What a moron.
UPDATE: Memo: If you ever become president, DON'T give the terrorists your T-Mobile number, because they will NEVER stop calling you.
UPDATE: So to sum things up: The terrorists are still threatening to use the Deadly Death Canisters of Fatal Doom, and next week they will do this for two solid hours. Whatever.
Well I'm sure glad of that ... it's about time we all reformed our ownselfs and became model consumers ... er ... citizens ... and just let Hollywood do whut it will with our minds ...

Is it true that 24 is going to be renamed as 19 because of the number of commercial breaks?
Posted by: PirateBoy | February 27, 2006 at 08:34 PM
Like, Wow! I can see I need to get in on this 24 craze!What have i been thinking watching COPS!?
Posted by: MoFaux | February 27, 2006 at 08:34 PM
BTW ... love the First Ramparts ... and ... do you s'pose that the canisters have anything to do with curling ... ??? merely wonderin' ...
Posted by: U.O | February 27, 2006 at 08:35 PM
Jack Bauer looks different somehow.
Posted by: Varjak | February 27, 2006 at 08:36 PM
May I be the first to say: SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE THIGH!!!!! That is all
Posted by: adonis | February 27, 2006 at 08:39 PM
I really don't think this is very funny.
Posted by: Peter Whacker | February 27, 2006 at 08:40 PM
It's only funny till someone loses a thigh!
Posted by: MoFaux | February 27, 2006 at 08:41 PM
That about sums it up, Dave.
Tonight the:
First Ramparts may be in red glare,
Bombs bursting in air...
But as you said, whatever!
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 08:44 PM
"a thigh for an thigh"
Posted by: Jacko | February 27, 2006 at 08:44 PM
Whut First Ramparts?
Headline, byline ... no pix, no story ... merely sayin' ...
Posted by: U.O | February 27, 2006 at 08:46 PM
This season I think we were all expecting some real action, but sadly, we got perimeters. But if we don't care anymore, than I guess we have a new weekly holiday.
Posted by: adonis | February 27, 2006 at 08:46 PM
That's quite a productivity enhancer you've got there, adonis ... or are you just happy to see me ... ???
Posted by: U.O | February 27, 2006 at 08:48 PM
oops holiday
Posted by: adonis | February 27, 2006 at 08:48 PM
Quite honestly, I liked the other one better ... kept me busy longer ...

my cable tellsmethat jack runs in to an old nemisis. Could it be that Marwan also faked his death to escape some kind of sub plot?
Posted by: homeybeef | February 27, 2006 at 08:50 PM
Sorry UO, dumb boxers without button-closure. I do apologise
Posted by: adonis | February 27, 2006 at 08:51 PM
I did NOT post that twice!
It wuz Jack ... he shot @ my thigh, but missed ... (Hey, once in five seasons, even Jack Bauer will throw a flyer once in ... um ... five seasons?

*urk* @ Skating with Celebrities
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 08:52 PM
Have you ever noticed, people seldom run into new nemises.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 27, 2006 at 08:53 PM
Gnu Nemeses wbagnfarb?
Posted by: U.O | February 27, 2006 at 08:54 PM
They have to know them awhile before they can become nemises. Until that point, they are only annoyances.

Hey, wolfie!!

Being mere mortals and not like Jack Bauer, the viewers need all of those commercial breaks to go potty.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 27, 2006 at 08:57 PM
Hiya daisy!!

Somebody better watch out for Kimmie Bauer. She must be in the area! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060228/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_lion
Posted by: arminius | February 27, 2006 at 08:59 PM
There was more thigh action in one hour of Skating With Celebrities.
Posted by: Glow | February 27, 2006 at 09:00 PM
BLEEP! BLOOP! BLEEP! BLOOP!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
YAY! Go Jack! Go Dave! Go Graphic Violence! Go Viewer Discretion! Go, Blogits, GO!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | February 27, 2006 at 09:00 PM
Viewer discretion advised!!
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:00 PM
"Whatever" is my life motto. It works pretty well for me.
Anyway, I'm looking foreward to spending another pointless hour getting lost in the plot and satisfying myself with some needless Jack induced violence.
Posted by: Sam G. | February 27, 2006 at 09:00 PM
Ya know, if they are just teasing me again with the graphic violence warning I'm soooo going to shoot someone in the thigh.
*realizes she's alone*
erm... nm

Gunfire!!!....oh, that's last weeek.
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:01 PM
Hey, doesn't Gollum look a lot like President Manilow?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | February 27, 2006 at 09:02 PM
That's some serious armament!!
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:02 PM
40 minutes? Apparently there is no rush hour traffic today.
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:03 PM
woohoo! TOW missiles
Posted by: philintexas | February 27, 2006 at 09:03 PM
Dave, the reason this plot seems so meek is that the real world is so awful..
Posted by: Stevo | February 27, 2006 at 09:03 PM
Ha! They're using public traffic cams. If they're anything as reliable as our SoFla ones, the Russian President will be in home plotting his next bad accent before anything happens...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | February 27, 2006 at 09:04 PM
I dont know how to tell you this
Posted by: Betsy | February 27, 2006 at 09:04 PM
Could Mike hate the Weasel in Chief any more?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | February 27, 2006 at 09:04 PM
yes no wait. Way to continue to be decisive.
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:04 PM
arminius, refer to the Feb 26 1:52 post by dave for a wonderful HTML class by Blue, that's how I learned to link. Thought I'd pass it on.
BRING ON THE THIGH SHOOTING!!!!!
Posted by: adonis | February 27, 2006 at 09:04 PM
God, President Weenie is sooooo stupid.
Posted by: FleaBailey | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
I say give Samwise a little bit of a break. After all when he was a kid he had to save his family's and friends homes. In High School things didnt get easier. Things got a little better in college things got a little better. But then some of his pals had to go off on an adventure and drag him along. And now this so give the kid a break or his dad will come after you.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
Decisiveness is a very important quality in a president.
Posted by: Sam G. | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
Hmmmmm...yeh...get my wife on the phone. She can outhink both of us put togither
Posted by: Betsy | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
He's going to ask first cleavage what to do!
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
I'm sorry, I was just thinking about our IMMINENT FIERY DEATHS!
Posted by: Mike | February 27, 2006 at 09:05 PM
First Cleavage has more b*lls than the Prez.
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:06 PM
The president just excels in circumstances like this
Posted by: Cheesewiz | February 27, 2006 at 09:06 PM
Does Jack do carjackings? Or Limojackings as the case may be?
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM
Here plot, (whistle whistle)
Posted by: Stevo | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM
oooooh suspense.....
Posted by: Betsy | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM

Posted by: jim | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM
Prez Manilow is surrounded by evil.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM
Addicted-Samwise's dad looks intimidating. I've learned not to mess with guys in pinstripe suits.
Posted by: Sam G. | February 27, 2006 at 09:07 PM
Will somebody tell me what to do please?
Posted by: President Logan | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
"The President is on line 1"
Does the freakin' limo have a phone system with extensions?!? I mean, can I dial 0 and get an operator?
Oh, wait...it's 4pm on a SoCal freeway...they'll never make it to the terrorists in time.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
Hobbit's gonna need another monitor or nine
Posted by: bizrey | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
Grow some big hairy brass ones Pres.
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
Why doesn't Edgar quit and go where he's appreciated?
Posted by: Betsy | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
I think Samwise has been sneaking some of Edgar's Ho Ho's.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
THat was a monument to indecisiveness.
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
Code: The Hobbit is the enemy (end of code)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:08 PM
okay .... new criteria to be president....must be at least 35 years old, a native-born citizen of the United States, and have verifiable big brass cojones
Posted by: philintexas | February 27, 2006 at 09:09 PM
It is too dull to comment on...

He's bringing in Sylvester Stallone
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:09 PM
it ended badly...
i shot him in the thigh...
Posted by: jim | February 27, 2006 at 09:09 PM
I stabbed him in the thigh, but that's not important now..
Posted by: Stevo | February 27, 2006 at 09:10 PM

Posted by: slyeyes | February 27, 2006 at 09:10 PM
Let's all mirror each other. Whatever. Use a landline while we're being mirrored. Whatever. Edgar is going to be the hero.
Posted by: Glow | February 27, 2006 at 09:10 PM
Audrey has some brass one. Now we need to see about Edgar...
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:10 PM
Does the President think the terrorists will REALLY care about Martha in the car?
Posted by: slyeyes | February 27, 2006 at 09:11 PM
It'll be fast and it'll be merciless. Oh really? They aren't going to knock on the windshield and introduce themselves?
Posted by: Betsy | February 27, 2006 at 09:11 PM
They could route the motorcade through a McDonald's Drive-thru
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:11 PM
oh, your wife was in the car...
Posted by: jim | February 27, 2006 at 09:11 PM
What am I missing? A plot? Good writers? you pick pres weenie.
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
impressive chain of command. Audrey running the shop from a cave.
Posted by: Cheesewiz | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
A couple of weeks ago Pres Weenie wanted to have his wife committed; now he can't bear to lose her.
Posted by: Jessica R. | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
where's a 20-year-old intern to relieve the presidential...um...pressure when you need her?
Posted by: philintexas | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
First Cleavage doesn't believe her hub will hand her out to dry!
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM

Posted by: U.O | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
First cleavage has misplaced faith in Prez weenie.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
with mortars
Posted by: Stevo | February 27, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Letting the terrorists kill my wife and the Russian President is the only way to unfold this plot.
Posted by: President Logan | February 27, 2006 at 09:13 PM
Um, I kinda like the new take-charge Audrey [ducks]
Posted by: bizrey | February 27, 2006 at 09:13 PM
oops...'hang her'
(I hate these robots!!!)
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:13 PM
The First Lady is a terrible liar.
Posted by: AdrianByrne | February 27, 2006 at 09:13 PM
Of course Martha is pulling this stunt. She's a "Designing Woman."
Posted by: Stealth | February 27, 2006 at 09:14 PM
I hate this 'Stick it to the Man' Sprint commercial!
Posted by: daisymae | February 27, 2006 at 09:15 PM
Dave...I think we lost new girlfriend to the focus groups....they thought Jack, Audrey...and Chloe should hook up
Posted by: philintexas | February 27, 2006 at 09:15 PM
How dare you talk about my wife like that Adrian.
Posted by: President Logan | February 27, 2006 at 09:15 PM
When is Tony waking up?
Posted by: cloturemonkey | February 27, 2006 at 09:16 PM
Nerve canisters vs Madame Canisters, watch the movie. ;-)
Posted by: Glow | February 27, 2006 at 09:16 PM
Lisa and Dave think alike - way to go, Lisa!
Posted by: Jessica R. | February 27, 2006 at 09:16 PM
Apparently nobody is allowed to pee under the hobbitts watch.
Posted by: wolfie | February 27, 2006 at 09:16 PM
"She's in the ladies room" obviously.
