I was watching Young Guns last night, and about fell off the couch laughing when “Doc” was walking beside “China” on the dusty road. He kept asking her to stop to talk, but she wouldn’t. So, of course, he stops and simply screams “STOP!!!”.

He’s had it in him all along…

That was a great line – “Chloe, we don’t have time for your personality disorder right now!”

I thought that on the raid on the consulate that only Jack went into the building – I thought the others only helped from the getaway car. But that security camera image looked like it was inside the place – and looked like it was one of those other guys, not Jack. Did I just miss something in the darkness of it all last week? Did one of the other guys go inside to help Jack get the dude out?

what better way to insure 24 Season 5 after a nuclear strike…

Thank you **MacTech** for causing me to spew Coke with Lime from my nose.

Wasn’t that head of security for the Chinese Consulate the guy whose daughter was kidnapped in Rush Hour?

Season 5 begins…

a person mutated by radiation is sitting at a CTU workstation…

Chloe: “Hey, Ralph, it must be difficult for you now. You know, after being on the fringe of that nuclear attack last summer. It must be tough for you being a mutant. I bet people probably point at you and gasp in horror when you go by, don’t they? Well… if you ever need to talk to somebody, I’m here…”
