24
Here is where I believe the situation stands: Following last week's gas attack on CTU HQ, the Hobbit is dead. So is Tony, who is not to be confused with Tony Soprano, who is in a coma after getting shot by Uncle Junior. In addition, many nameless CTU staff extras are dead. Edgar also remains, tragically, dead. Audrey is still alive, prompting us to wonder where Uncle Junior is when we need him. Jack Bauer is also still alive and now holds the world indoor breath-holding record. The terrorists still have something like 18 Killer Kanisters, and evidently they will stop at nothing in their cruel and inhuman quest to make this particular plot thread last for the rest of this season. The president of the United States contunues to be a big girl's blouse and a complete handbag. Speaking of which, this item is still only $10.
Having missed the last two weeks, I'm depending on you keen observers out there to explain what is happening tonight. Since I have no idea what's going on, rather than put my clueless updates here in the main section, I'll put my comments down in the comments section, where they will mingle freely with yours. So I hope everybody is wearing protection.
Is there anyone not working for the Russians?

the VP used to work for the President of Belarus
Posted by: Cheesewiz | March 20, 2006 at 09:11 PM
So it took them, what, five minutes to get troops all over Los Angeles?
Posted by: Dave | March 20, 2006 at 09:11 PM
The VP is not bad. They are trying to hard to make him seem like a bad guy.
Posted by: Antonio | March 20, 2006 at 09:11 PM
Whatever the President says is legal, right? Right?

Um, yeah, I enjoy watching her get dressed too O_O
Posted by: bizrey | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
The lovely Colette with the spike heel boots. Who do you think she's going to walk all over?
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
I always wear stilletto boots when I transport canisters myself.
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Another totally inscrutable accent
Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Right
Posted by: Antonio | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Who's the hippie guy with Colette? I am SO confused.
Posted by: Dave | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Colette the coquette
Posted by: Cheesewiz | March 20, 2006 at 09:12 PM
When Collette bites it, can I have her boots?
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:13 PM
Dave. she scammed him for info of some kind for the bad dudes.
Posted by: Unrealious | March 20, 2006 at 09:13 PM

Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
*sigh* No more thong, and no one was shot yet. C'mon Jack, stir something up!
Posted by: Momanon | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
BWWAAAHHHAAA HAAHAAHAA!
Posted by: Evil Terrorist Dude | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
Dave ~ hippy guy is the reason we got to see her inna thong. I don't think he has a point beyond that.
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
Awww, we don't get to see any more of Colette's secret for another 45 mins.
Posted by: Bob | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
And where is Jack?
Posted by: Dave | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
Yeah, who is the hippie guy? Was that the Hobbits sister's boyfriend who stole the Hobbit's key card?
Posted by: slyeyes | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
CIllette has schematics? Are the setting up a perimeter?
Posted by: Bucket | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
Hal to president: Are you having second thoughts?
Please. Did he have any first ones?
Posted by: KOW | March 20, 2006 at 09:14 PM
Hiding under his stealth hoodie.
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:15 PM
Jack spends this episode in the bathroom.
Posted by: Unrealious | March 20, 2006 at 09:15 PM
THEY, They, they!!! (not the)... : (
Posted by: Bucket | March 20, 2006 at 09:15 PM
Moohaha! Poor Adonis...thinking that she had nothing to do with italics.
DAMNIT! STOP THAT!!!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | March 20, 2006 at 09:16 PM
No wonder my cell phone died tonight. She repositioned my satellite.
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:16 PM
You can't handle the truth.
Posted by: Unrealious | March 20, 2006 at 09:16 PM
PLEASE, who is the homeland defense lady?
Posted by: 24 original | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
CTU absorbed into Homeland Security...that's scary!
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Oh yeah, wait till Jack hears about this, b*****! Your thigh's in danger!
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Please, Bill, keep me infiltrating you between you and me...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Geez Bill, nothing like being usurped twice in one day!
Posted by: Stevo | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Which after having held my breath because of noxious fumes I would too.
Posted by: Alfred | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
SHE? Hey Andy, I don't wanna hear it! Don't make me get my cow!
Posted by: Adonis | March 20, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Everyone takes over CTU from Bill. He ought to take the hint. His career is over. If he wants to run something he should become a close aid of the President
Posted by: Cheesewiz | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
I think the Homeland lady has a point about CTU. I mean, after an anti-terrorist organization has been infiltrated, what, 127 times by terrorists, you have to ask yourself if maybe it's time to absorb it.
Posted by: Dave | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Is Edgar STILL on the floor at New Guy's feet?
Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Looks like some action...or not. Is boyfriend gone?
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
I think it's good that Edgar's dead. He wouldn't have liked being absorbed by Homeland.
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
I hope the President's doing the right thing , too.
Posted by: MoFaux | March 20, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Of COURSE she went for the roof!
Posted by: Bucket | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
I swear if they kill of Curtis...
Posted by: Antonio | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
Homeland isn't big enough to absorbed Edgar (RIP)
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
Into the stairwell! Let's all run together in a pack!!!
Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
I did't see her go for the roof? WTF?
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
wait guys, I've got it! A perimeter! Yes, that's it, let's set up a perimeter!
Posted by: Stevo | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
Nah, the boyfriend isn't gone. If he was, there'd be no thong. No Thong = Lower Ratings
Posted by: Bob | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
ONly 200,000? They must've moved the canisters out to Palmdale ...
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | March 20, 2006 at 09:19 PM
Absorbing Edgar would have been the end of Homeland
Posted by: Cheesewiz | March 20, 2006 at 09:20 PM
Holy Crap! It's Baltar!!
Posted by: bizrey | March 20, 2006 at 09:20 PM

Oh man, I wear a badge like that all the time too. And have a bad accent.
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:20 PM
So...I'm just now peeking in on the blog...in Phoenix, Arizona, at 7:18 p.m. And apparently, I don't even have to WATCH the show. I can just read the blog. I wish I'd have known that before I wasted the first 12 hours.

Holy Cow...German Federal Intelligence!! The PLOT thickens...if it gets any thicker it's gonna clog the toilet!
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
HOLY CRAP! It is Baltar! hahaha
Posted by: Antonio | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
I don't think that's the actor who plays Baltar.
Posted by: Bob | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
oops... heh heh. wow, Jack didn't want to check the cell.
Posted by: Salamander | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
They've got cell phone numbers for German operatives?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
Chloe can check anything instantly.
Posted by: Unrealious | March 20, 2006 at 09:21 PM
It's David Bowie with hair and a tan.
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
Ho, hum, we don't care about your stinkin' operation!!
Posted by: Bucket | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
(he is definitely scruffy)
Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
his "agenda" should be a good shave
Posted by: MoFaux | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
Don't listen to him, Jack. He's in it with the Cylons...
Posted by: Antonio | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
He obviously knows NOTHING about the cannisters.
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
Heh. Jack's just thinking...boy...his thigh looks like it's missing a bullet or stab wound or two...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | March 20, 2006 at 09:22 PM
"you can't touch me" as jack holds his arm
Posted by: homeybeef | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
They made him a German agent who had also trained in England because he couldn't keep a grip on his frickin' accent for more than 2 seconds.
Posted by: Betsy | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Both of them are gonna get nailed for breaking curfew if they stay out in plain view like that.
And really that line 'You can't touch me' really deserved at least a flesh wound in the thigh. Jack must not be feeling well.
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
hey wasn't he one of the x-men?
Posted by: mnich | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Oooohhhh, a Nissan NOW Event!
Posted by: LucyVanPelt | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
SNork @ Betsy
Posted by: daisymae | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Jack can touch you, you silly Englishman, anywhere and anytime he feels like it.
Posted by: Glow | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Oh yeah, Jack won't touch him...
Posted by: Peg Leg Pete, CPA | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
So the German guy demands an ID and they show him ... then he says who he is and Jack doesn't even ask for ID?
Intelligence? HAH!
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Come on folks - who is the HomeLand Defense Lady? Please
Posted by: 24 original | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
He knows about colette's cannisters!! ; )
Posted by: Bucket | March 20, 2006 at 09:23 PM
Was the German actually stupid enough to tell Jack "You can't touch me?"
...And how is it that Chloe can just call up a list of other countries' undercover intelligence assets inside the US? I thought they were, you know, undercover.
Posted by: Wes S. | March 20, 2006 at 09:24 PM
Uh Oh! Der Komissar's in in town uh oh oooh-oh!
Posted by: bizrey | March 20, 2006 at 09:24 PM
Why doesn't Chloe stay at CTU and keep track of the terrorists for Jack and Jack do the running around collecting the terrorists and cannisters. We don't need no stinkin homeland security!
Posted by: Lane-o | March 20, 2006 at 09:24 PM
Nice cannisters, eh?
Posted by: Peg Leg Pete, CPA | March 20, 2006 at 09:24 PM
Everyone who has seen them knows about collettes canisters.
Posted by: wolfie | March 20, 2006 at 09:24 PM
I'm sorry, am I confusing you with Madonis?!
Are you a he or a she? I'm sooooo confused...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | March 20, 2006 at 09:25 PM
I think they pressed the button on the Random Plot Generator, and it said: Germans.
Posted by: Dave | March 20, 2006 at 09:25 PM
Chloe just downloades the internet into her brain every morning. pervert.
Posted by: Alfred | March 20, 2006 at 09:25 PM
Now we see what would happen if Jack Bauer got to take on Jack Bauer.... Does anybody else think the German sort of looks like a Jack with hair?
