24 vs. STTNG?

I don’t know, this thread may have been done before, but the possibilities are giving me goosebumps!

Jack torturing Data? Could be interesting.

Battle of the CTU redshirts vs. the STTNG redshirts? Something tells me they all die.

Jack vs. Picard in the FINAL SHOWDOWN:  
Jack: “Curtis! Picard is a fag! PICARD IS A FAG!!! Chloe! I need more backup!”  
Picard: “Put your primitive weapon down so we can talk abou…”  
Jack: BLAMMM!!! “Primitive weapon this, big-nose…”

I’ll be changing my shorts now…

Season 10: On a fateful day when Kim is visiting the aging Jack in his nursing home, deadly events are set in motion when a riot breaks out in the dining hall, started by an argument between two elderly gentlemen over the last serving of apple cobbler. Kim runs to break up the fight, and runs, and runs… causing a few pacemakers to overload…

I was cleaning up some of the scraps of paper that litter the area around my computer, and came across this one, dated January 17, 2005:

“Is it too early to start the Chloe fan club? What other show would feature such a scowling, eye-rolling and thoroughly miserable heroine? I love her.”

Maybe it’s heading for Palm Beach County. Marwan isn’t actually a militant muslim at all – he’s an American who voted for Al Gore, and he’s still pissed off at all the people in South Florida who couldn’t figure out how to fill out a ballot. 😃

This line of thought may call for a new _ **24** _ thread: **Where should Marwan aim the missile?**

We have all lived in, read about, or heard about some benighted community in the US that we, secretly or not so secretly, would like to see reduced to glowing slag. What is yours?

My answer: Right now, I don’t really have one to nominate… 😕  
Maybe after some thought.

Anyone care to start this thread with their own personal hellhole?

How about the home of this gal that I dated briefly in 1998?

I vote for Chicago, basically because there has always been enmity between Chicago and Wisconsin. But not tomorrow, please. I’m going there to see John Malkovich at the Steppenwolf theater.

(Someone in Chicago will probably aim the thing at Milwaukee, so we’ll cancel each other out. Such is life in the Midwest!)

How about Green Bay, so that when NFL season rolls around again, we no longer have to hear about how Favre is the second coming of Christ from all the commentators again? 😉

Tulsa, Oklahoma. Not that anyone would notice the difference. 😉

as a slight hijack – does anyone know off-hand when the 2-hour season finale will start next Monday? if it starts at the regular time, i’m gonna need to dig out the instructions for the VCR so i can record Medium. (although i can’t imagine they’d pre-empt the 10:00 news for a regular program, even during May Sweeps.)

It’s starting an hour earlier than normal, 8pm Eastern and Pacific, I would assume 7pm Central, and who knows in Mountain.

sorry Boston, been nice knowin’ Ya…

(then again, i just hate cities anyway, so i’m biased)

but think of the advantages, after a couple thousand years, the city could be rebuilt with a road grid that’s _understandable_ and logical, a standard, easy to understand grid of roads, none of this “Blind, Parkinson’s disease suffering roadway architect designs” pattern that it is now…

Nope – Florida. (And couldn’t care less about “Da Bears”, either).
