ACTUALLY, THIS DESCRIBES PRETTY MUCH EVERY SCENE INVOLVING JACK AND ANOTHER HUMAN
Q: You're clearly a 24 fan. Do you have any favorite torture scenes?
A: (Laughing) I just remember a scene where Bauer is interrogating a guy, and the guy won't give him the information and he shoots him in the knee. It was brutal. I have never seen anything quite so shocking. Kiefer (Sutherland) is a lot of fun to work with. He brings so many ideas to the set, and he elevates the material — his ideas and his intensity. After being in (the show) six years, it's really refreshing to see an actor so committed to working his butt off every day and not phoning it in.
Hmm...I wonder if Jack will turn his sights onto Ricky first, or someone else...

Good. Now I don't have to feel guilty for calling him "Ricky" all these years.

Crossgirl, I told you take the first exit before Purgatory. If you turn around, you should be able to get back on the Interstate in about five minutes.

CG, if it helps to get your bearings against a reference point, the blog time is an hour earlier than

Cool. Blog time is now CST. Makes sense to me (in KC).

Every hour on the hour my computer time mysteriously returns to non-daylight-savings time. Will I have to keep adding an hour, every hour, for the next 8 months?
Posted by: Suzy Q | March 12, 2007 at 10:10 AM
yes
Posted by: crossgirl | March 12, 2007 at 10:13 AM
I also heard that some other former childhood stars are gonna be on 24. Gary Coleman is going to be a new agent, interrogating suspected villians with his trademark, "Whatchew talkin' 'bout Willis"..

Ricky Schroeder - he plays the piano really well on Peanuts.
Posted by: Val | March 12, 2007 at 10:19 AM
Glad to read the comments about his committment to his marriage. Very refreshing for a Hollywood type.
Good advice: Every situation in life has its ups and downs. Just try not to do anything rash.

I know I always try to avoid rashes..

SQ - probably just until April 1, when the time was going to change under the previous schedule. The it will probably "fall back" a week early in the fall.

*zips in™*
YAY, YAY, YAY!
This is why I started watching 24 this season, instead of just reading the blog. I love Ricky (it's OK to call me that now) Schroeder.
Thanks for posting the interview Dave, except for the fact that I really didn't need to know that
1. He's married and old enough to have older kids
2. He's conservative politically.
Otherwise, it's all good, and I'm really, really, really looking forward to the show tonight. :)

The parody just isn't coming to me, so I'll go with the irony of the original. Think Chicago (the band, not the city or show or film):
As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry
And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
We've all got time enough to cry
And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh, so I just don't know, I just don't know
And I said, yes I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
Does anybody really care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die

Crossgirl, if you're in hell, and the time is CST, does that mean hell is the Midwest?
Posted by: Meditrina | March 12, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Chicago 8, WD?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 12, 2007 at 11:10 AM
You could all move to Arizona where we know that fiddling with the clocks twice a year is silly and don't bother with it!

...our IT guys are going nuts...the desktop machines get time updates from the server, which has been patched. But, the server is getting time from someplace on the Internets, and that place apparently has not been patched. While my congressman was a key player in this time mess, I still blame it on Microsoft.

Adora... Are you on LA time this week or Denver time? ;-)
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | March 12, 2007 at 11:34 AM
No, No! I love it, really - I hate being off daylight savings time. Very good, WD.
Posted by: SippiFoxHntr | March 12, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Med - yes it is. In Michigan, to be exact. Obviously, it freezes over quite regularly.

We could Spring Forward every weekend and the current presidential term would end faster!
Posted by: Kirsten | March 12, 2007 at 01:38 PM
Olo,
Mountain Standard Time -- same as always. The difference is that this week, LA is on OUR time. Last week, Tancredo, er, Denver was on OUR time.

I've heard hell is one rung above Grand Rapids, so it *would* be CST

Posted by: Eleanor | March 12, 2007 at 08:50 PM
Why can't we have Daylight savings time all year round and not have to keep changing the time? I don't mind so much going to work in the dark, but coming home in the dark is kind of a drag.

Dudes, back to JACK!
He freakin ripped out someone's throat with his BARE TEETH a couple episodes ago. That's pretty shocking,eh?? What's next?? Something really bad to Logan, I hope.

Harrison Ford had the idea to "just shoot the guy" after the fancy swordwork guy was done waving his sword around in the first Indiana Jones movie. So if you ever get into a movie and the director and writers are at a loss as to what to do in a certain scene, just say "Hey - just shoot the guy in the earlobe" and you will be considered a master thespian.
