Don’t forget The Mandible![sup]TM[/sup]

And people keep speculating on this “internet destroying thing” the terrorsits have. I don’t think there is one. I think the code the kid saw is the code that will force the webcast of the trial onto several internet pages. It was clear that ony a few agencies got a copy of the first one, and they said they would broadcast iot all over the internet. Well, basically the only way to do that is to hack a lot of popular pages so everyone sees it. That’s my theory.

I noticed it, but she also did it when she was guest starring on Friends. I think it’s a quirk of the actress instead of an actual deliberate acting/directing choice.

I watch it… or I did watch it. But I’m not home on Monday nights at 9 - and now it’s on opposite 24, so it loses the “what do I tape tonight” question.

It was a popular sitcom broadcast on NBC up until last year, about six thirtysomethings dealing mostly with their own interpersonals quirks, and dating.

What?

Tyler (the woman with apparently weird eyes) was Ross’s girlfriend for about 3 episodes (maybe longer…).

Tyler was on Friends but Tracie E Ross (Diana Ross’ daughter) is the one with the weird eye thing just like Terror Mom.  
Get it?

Which one of Ross’s girlfriends? I would have thought I would have recognized any of Ross’s girlfriends…

The scheming black biotch at CTU. She was Joey’s girlfriend first. She was a bright doctor who decided to go slumming with dim bulb Joey. Ross snatched her so Joey payed him back by kissing Rachel.

What?

They were talking about Behrooz’s mom, not Marianne.

My fault. I noticed some weird Aisha Tyler eye thing, and something about the Muppet Baby version and mixed up threads and people and characters and we’re only 4 episodes in.

Maybe if Jack shouted at me.

HE CAN’T SHOUT AT YOU NOW! THERE’S NO TIME!

You’ll have to wait in line like everybody else.
