I can't find one I screamed at the tv for like 20 minutes last night AFTER the episode was over...........I'm still shocked TODAY
where is the 24 thread for this week I don't see it and I couldn't WAIT to come in and see what you guys said about it.

Am I just blind? (No snark here it's too easy!)   ;)

Just so your anxiety level doesn't sore, while things with the world are now touch n' go, I have supreme faith in Jack to save the world once again this season.

There's a good story when Charlton Heston seemed a bit apprehensive when filming the famous Chariot Scene in "Ben Hur.". Cecil D' Demille, the director, took Charlton aside and said, "Chuck, once thing you don't have to worry about, I guarantee you will win the Chariot race".

Believe it or not, I fell asleep before 24 started TWO weeks in a row!!!!  ARRRGGGHHH!!!

And I just haven't had the energy to watch the episodes online yet.  I'm pathetic.

What's really cool is that I can see Mahone and Michael teaming up for another break. I guess that had to keep the namesake of the program going. Wonder what jail Michael will have to break out of after this one?

I can't see Palmer playing "chicken" with nukes. It's got to be the drugs or else they are going to turn Palmer into a sinister character like the last Pres. Look for Tom to start proceedings against the Pres, with the alternative (Vice Pres) not much better. Does anyone know who is third in command? It's possible a lot of contracts are expiring and they will introduce a new character. I readily agree that "Ricky" doesn't cut although I could live with him short-term. "Milo" on the other hand seems really miscast. Maybe they were trying for a younger demographic, but he is just not believable. Surprising, because so much of the other casting is outstanding. Also, Nadia so far sort of just lies there like a blob, albeit a very good looking one. Not sure if it's the writing or her, but again central casting could have done better. Haven't given up on '24' yet, but with "Prison Break" on summer break -- good thing we have 'Dancing with the Stars" as a Monday night back up.

Not sure if you caught Bellick naked on the ground next to Mr. "Rough Trade" but he didn't look all that good. That's got to be one of the scariest looking prison corridors seen on film. Yeah, Mahone is a great character, and it seems that Michael, Mahone, Bellick and T-Bag will all end up cellmates. WOW. Can't wait for next season. Y'know I wasn't focusing at all on the whole SONA thing, do you have any more info?

As to "24", I also agree that they don't need two Hawks in the White House, so don't be surprised if Palmer dies soon from all the adrenaline and the VP takes over. Do you agree that "Ricky", "Milo" and "Nadia" aren't very strong additions this season? Surprising, because the rest of the casting is so very spot on.

OH MY GOD HOLY COW THE END OF PRISON BREAK - MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WOW!  Linc free and Michael in jail...but then WHAT is this whole SONA thing - this is a govt trial on the genes that people have to break out of jail? Problem solving genes? Now will it be a test to see if Linc can get Michael out or just about Michael figuring out how to get out?

Are they all going to be in there together now EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!  Mahone, Bellick, when is Tbag going to end up over there too? Sucre?

Honestly I ADORE the actor who plays Mahone and would LOVE to see him really have to hook up with the others on the run.

I saw the actor who plays Bellick in a movie recently (the Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey) and he was so NOT ugly (like his is now) that for a few minutes I couldn't figure out who he was.

GREAT cast of actors.

Wow - talk about a great season to look forward to that is so incredibly DIFFERENT than the two before it!

I too think it's adreno-rage...that is the only thing that makes any sense (although he did get brain damage the show doesn't need two people with the VPs issues running around trying to nuke everyone). It was just so upsetting and shocking it was incredible tv.

His poor sister is going to freak out - my God!

It's going to be a LONG season break.  I must content myself with the pre-seasons that I hadn't seen and I never saw season one of PB either...so I think i'm taking a short trip to ebay right now!  :)

Thank GOD for ebay and tivo!

And "cute" Ricky is driving us nuts...he is not convincing as a "comando" in any way.  And no "Champ".

[gazebo1]

Pres. Palmer is just forcing the issue with the nuke, and as Jim says will destructo when they cave.  G.

[jmjm530]

You must be referring to President's Palmer's change of mind? Quite shocking wasn't it! Frankly, it seemed so off-character. Hopefully, there will be an explanation and what comes to mind first are the drugs Palmer has been taking recently, apparently even more psychoneurolically potent than ribavirin. I mean, remember when we were on riba? Perhaps adrenaline rage in his case?

I do hope that's it not the writers screwing up the show. Look for the missles to be recalled during the next hour episode. Thanks for starting up the thread as I had subconsciously pushed the episode out of my mind it was so disturbing. BTW did you catch the season finale of "Prison Break". And just when you thought you were in h*ll, you find out that there is another level. LOL.

Be well,
