What’s the name of the actress who plays Evelyn? ---

> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > Mmmmm…I don’t know about that. Think of all the people who’ve been loyal to Jack and what happens to them. Agreed. Aaron has been around from the first season (and possibly, Hour One). I don’t want to see him eviscerated to, later, die in Jack’s arms. Oh yes, and Curtis has a nickname - Black Bauer. The only person to try to keep up with Jack and actually survive for more than an episode. It’s quite an accomplishment. -Joe ---

Not only did he stay alive, but he even escaped after being captured. It was good to see Walt get the smackdown, but I’m not satisfied. He needs to suffer more. Yellow tie said “I destroy my enemies” which makes me think he’s going to try and use the gas against the president/walt. Of course they’ll probably do it somewhere else as well, as a demonstration. ---

Was it just me, or did this episode have some of the worst acting on this series ever? I mean in the scene where Jack and Aaron burst into the Oval Office (What? The Oval Office is in the West Wing. Los Angeles is West.) on Walt and Logan. It’s almost like the director said “Woah! This is some really good pot. What? We gotta shoot? OK, everybody come in and say your line. No, don’t worry about it. Just say it. Yeah, that’s it. That’s a wrap. Hey, we got any of those donuts left?” ---

> [@Wolfian](#): > > I hope they find something else for First Lady Ophelia, she’s the best character and actor on the show. I’m thinking you may get your wish. After President Creampuff tried to kiss and make up, we saw a shot of CFL walking back to the compound. There was a look in her eyes that seemed to indicate that she wasn’t done yet. ---

Logan looked pretty gross puckering up for a kiss. And she did look very pissed. I loved the “preview of coming attractions” Jack gave Walt while waving the knife in his face. I also loved the way Walt’s voice went falsetto when he figured out Jack wasn’t kidding about his right eye. ---

A couple obervations. -When you try to send your wife to the funny farm, don’t be suprised when she’s pissed at you. -Jack’s in the middle of a crisis right now. He doesn’t have time to worry about which woman he’s keep shacking up with. It’s getting almost as bad as Kim “Daddy, I know you’re saving the word, but I need you now!” Bauer. Beside, I suspect one of his girlfriends will be dead by the end of the day, relieving him of making that decision. -I wanted to see Jack do some quick eye surgery, though watching him punch walt a few times more then needed was almost as good. -I really like Bucahnan now. Finally, a good CTU adminstrative team. -Did anyone not see that twist at the end coming? -This season is starting to remind me of season 2. Government secretly helps terrorists get WMD for political gain, only to have something go very wrong. To make the comparison even more apt, in season 2, we had “Three middle eastern countries”. Now we have “Southern Asia” as a destination. This must get awfully confusing for people. If I told a travel agent I wanted to go to Southern Asia, they’d ask “Where in Southern Asia?”. In the 24 universe, I guess threre’s only one seaport called “Southern Asia”. Just like in Season 2. In the 24 universe, when you tell pilots to bomb 3 middle eastern countries, they know exactly which three you’re talking about. Or maybe there really isn’t a world outside LA in the 24 universe, which is why we have strange names like “Southern Asia” and “3 middle eastern countries” as legitimate, specific areas. ---

> [@HPL](#): > > Or maybe there really isn’t a world outside LA in the 24 universe, which is why we have strange names like “Southern Asia” and “3 middle eastern countries” as legitimate, specific areas. That would explain why Ohio had mountains in it last year. Maybe the map in the 24-verse looks like maps of the Louisiana purchase, where “Louisiana” is actually most of the western US, so “Ohio” also includes Appalachia and maybe even parts of Canada. 🙂 ---

Finally, a good CTU adminstrative team. I also agree. It’s a bit refreshing to see not only one CTU boss, but two whose job description goes beyond “pain in Jack’s ass.” Plus, they’re all testosteroney about who’s in charge, but they’re actually listening to each other. Kudos to the writers for being creative (I also credit them for killing Michelle & Palmer before they became crutches). ---

Did I miss something? Next Week preview. I won’t speculate. I disagree that the soap opera needs to stop. I think this is the kind of thing that gives the character’s more depth and makes this show more than just explosions and bad guys. However, I do agree that it gets pretty silly a lot of the time. ---
