24: Season 6: Episode 5 (10:00am - 11:00am)

I’ll predict right now that Bluetooth Bauer’s days are numbered. To less than one.

And I’m betting that Chloe (when she turns out to be the Main Terrorist after all) is actually Jack’s mother. And Mindy is her sister-in-law.

“You only call when you need a satellite repositioned.”

The Preidential Sister needs a big ol’ serving of STFU. Her boyfriend is doing a good job of infiltrating that little terror group. Quit whining and let him help out. He’s a big boy – and the FBI knows he’s not a baddie.

Was that his roof? I thought he said something like “our helicopter went down”. I had the impression that he was in it – and managed to get out, but the other guy was stuck. Either way, you’re right – one would think he would have noticed the big-ass mushroom cloud in the sky. Of course, if he was in the crash, there’s also the disorienting element of shock.

Either way, don’t bother to check to see if anybody is in the house before you shift the weight load and let the chopper fall and make a huge flaming fireball next to the bedroom window!

I don’t think so – not yet at least. I don’t think Jack even knows about his involvement with President Logan last season. Although I get the feeling he may start learning some of those details very soon.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing, until he unplugged it. Zzzzaapp!

So, when’s Chloe going to get to do something daring, like shoot somebody, taser somebody, or at least sneak around CTU setting up some computer access that goes against “protocols”? So far she’s mostly had to babysit Milo and Morris, only getting in a few snarky comments here and there. I think she’s being underutilized right now.

Yeah, reeks of “Dallas”, with some new relative popping up every season.

You know, for an evil illuminatus, Graham sure has little thought for security. I mean, his house is nice and all (if you like that kind of style), but no security guards? And he answers the door like he’s Ward Cleaver-- not even looking thru the peep hole first?

Surely you jest. It would be better to trick him into a quick death that let him discover that.

Well, I didn’t say Graham would reveal the info willingly. But I figure that Jack may learn more about his involvement in last season’s events – perhaps from a different source. and if and when that happens… well, Graham will be wistfully longing for the days of when he was only Plastic-Bag-Head.

Especially since it’s an improvement on his general appearance…

Didn’t she and Morris redirect a satellite that almost screwed up the deal back in hour 1?
I definitely agree that the prez’s sister is a weak point so far. But I definitely don’t mind Jack having family, particularly family that he hasn’t spoken to in years. That’s so Jack.

Yeah, he seems befuddled. He admitted releasing the guy who hooked the trigger up to the bomb like “heh, silly me. jeez”. He has a conniving paranoid whispering in one ear and his obnoxious activist sister shreiking in the other while deleting files. Not to mention an idiot General who wants to bomb…whoever, as long as it sends a message. Poor Wayne is headed for a meltdown.

She’s so good at not SingTFU, though. A Sherry Palmerish type who will not be denied. If anything sends the President over the edge it’s going to be her. Her boyfriend’s not going to make it to suppertime.

Well, Jack can ask him about that when he shows up later this season.

Are people saying that the nephew looks like jack merely because he has blond hair? Sheesh, by that logic Michelle “Palm Springs is so boring” Pfieffer could be Jack’s sister, which would be just stu…

Oh, crap.

Though they live in the same city. You’d thing Christmas, just to get something.

Oh, don’t worry, she’s clearly a long-lost Warner sister.

I think it’s the fact that the mother and father don’t have blond hair, and there was reference to the mother’s prior relationship with Jack, and the way Jack looked dumbfounded at meeting the kid.

Yes, but that little caper only lasted about 15 minutes until they got caught – and it wasn’t really the “right” thing to do at the time. So I’m not really counting that. I mean, maybe Milo will try to tip the vending machine and get a free coke next, but he’ll probably get caught right away, too…

Damn!! When she first appeared, I did a double-take, thinking, “She looks kind of like Kate… or maybe a cross between Kate and Marie”. Maybe she IS a Warner…

I forgot the character’s name, but from the IMDB listings I guess this is her.

I was laughing at that one. “No sir, we don’t know which middle eastern country might be collaborating with Fayed… but let’s nuke them all back to the stone age just to be sure!”

(Palmer: “Yeah! And let’s hit Canada and Switzerland too, just to be sure!”)
(Well… that’s what he should have replied…)

Sherry-ish in pushiness, though not in personal ambition. She’s more like the hippy activist do-gooder version of Sherry Palmer. I could see her throwing paint on fur coats and then calling up her brother to get the local cops to release her.

I’d say Graham’s hair (what little of it there is) is blond.

At first I thought that too.

So what you’re saying is that Jack and Graham are Warner Brothers?

I’d also like to point out that never, AFAIK, in the history of 24 have there been two characters with the same first name. And they’ve already used up all of the “normal” names like Jack, David, and George. Now they’re using “unusual” name like Milo, Morris, and Uh-MED.

I definitely like the Uncle Jack is really Papa Jack theory. I was wondering why Jack was gazing so intently at the boy.

CTU clearly hasn’t brought it’s “A” game to bear on the terrorists yet. Key tac teams went up in smoke, Buchanan would rather be out on the links, Milo is a weak team leader, and Morris is too much of a prick to be taken seriously even when he tries to be serious. He’s a confounding element that needs to be gotten rid of. Chloe needs to focus. Nadia seems to be more of a capable bureaucrat than a hunter (but she’s hot). So far, anyway. I believe a shakeup is in order.
