Just an hour ago, President Waffle was doing pretty well wooing back his wife. But in just a few short minutes he managed to change this evening’s entertainment lineup from “The Joy of Tantric Sex” to something from the Do-It-Yourself section. And CTU has just lost the trail, partly due to a typo in the geometry section of the CTU Training Manual… “ **Perimeter** : A boundary surrounding all two sides of a rectangle.” Tonight, Jack goes back to randomly interrogate shoppers at the mall. “WHAT DID YOU BUY AT DILLARDS?!!!” Oh, and he tries to find the Yellow-Tie guy, too… * * * _24_, Season 5, Episode 9 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM SPOILERS AHEAD!

Well, so much for Ivan Stabbedevsky. Looks like the First string bad guys have been forcibly relieved of their duties, and the Second String baddies are taking over. Samwise got bitched out by President Whiny-Weenie – heh. ---

And now Jack Bauer sucker punches Black Bauer! I think that’s one of the requirements to be in Jack’s inner circle of trusted friends (at least the male ones) – you have to have been sucker punched by him at least once when you were just “following orders”. CTU agents should know better than to follow orders when you’re partnered with Jack. ---

Maybe this has been covered in other 24 threads but it’s been, what, eight ours since palmer has been killed and the press has forgotten all about it? You know if Clinton was killed the major networks would have around the clock coverage for 37 straight years…and I’d miss a whole bunch of episodes of 24 because of it. ---
