In other news, we have yet again another decisive president. Decisively making all the wrong decisions. This time with the help of two more advisors who never agree with each other. And now that we’ve lost one more multiple-season regular from the CTU family, I now wonder who’s next. Quite possibly Chloe will kill Milo or Morris before the day is done. Personally, I think she should take them both down. Who wants to place bets on how many casualties caused by Mini-Mushroom? Apparently it took out Valencia, or at least a portion of it. And can Jack outrun the radiation fallout? More importantly, does he even need to? It’s not like he hasn’t been killed before… * * * _24_, Season 6, Episode 5 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM SPOILERS AHEAD!

Bill: “We’ll send you a car.” And Jack’s in Grenada Hills, apparently a little south of Valencia…? So how long will it take a car to get there from CTU? I’m guessing… oh… 10 minutes? I would think that a nuke going off, even in Valencia, would mean everybody in L.A. panics and tries to get out of the city. That _should_ kill all travel on the roads for the day. Should. ---

Dude. Looks like Jack’s brother is the same guy from last season – the “information broker” or whatever, one of the guys pulling the puppet strings for President Logan. He was the main guy in the place that Logan kept calling about the evidence that Jack was obtaining against him. The name on the credits last season I think was just Graham. ---

Well now, wasn’t **that** the happy family reunion. It’s good to see the show continuing to move at a brisk pace. When I was watching tonight I was also trying to remember where I’d seen the agent who was with Regina Palmer before. Since there are so many Canadians who pop up on the show, my default guess is from some Canadian t.v. show or movie. While I was looking at the IMDb for Graham, I also found the FBI agent, and it turns out that he was Cyril on OZ. He looks more like his brother with the short hair. And speaking of brothers, I think it’s pretty good casting for Jack’s eeeevill brother looks-wise. They have very similar noses. ---

I wonder if Jack used to tie Graham to a chair and put a plastic bag over his head when they were kids. Doesn’t he just have one happy family? He has: - a dad that may or may not be in league with terrorists - a brother who we know has plotted against him, even to the point of urging the past sitting president to eliminate him. And when that failed, he helped get him grabbed by the Chinese - a daughter who isn’t smart enough to get out of a cougar trap - a wife who got shot by his onetime girlfriend, who turned out to be a terrorist collaborator. So… what’s his mom like? June Cleaver or Lizzie Borden? ---
