You may have a point. They’ve been spending time together this season and may be cross-training.

Probably doing prep for tomorrow and getting a pot of stock on to simmer. That’s not an uncommon restaurant practice.

Yeah, that was pretty sweet.  
“The bad guys have made the worst mistake of their lives…! They’ve captured Jack Bauer!!!”

Best 24 promo ever.

Here’s a fun link, especially for any fans of both 24 and LOST:

It’s a clip from The Soup, which starts by showing last week’s “Psycho Renee” scene – and Michael Emerson makes a guest appearance.

Heh, yeah! The Chinese had over a year to break him and they failed. What makes these guys think they can do it in a few days? 😃

Did anyone notice what a bad job he was doing cutting that carrot? It was like what you’d expect a 5-year old to do.

Who was the famous philosopher who said: _What doesn’t kill Jack makes him stronger_. Hell, he was just chargin’ up Jack’s batteries!!

Give the guy a fuckin’ break. He had a lot on his mind. He just shot his son, had Jack in his basement and was in the middle of a nuclear arms trade. 😃

OK. I’ll give the guy a break and assume he was just chopping them up to make soup.

I laughed out loud at that part. It was a total redshirt moment! I can only imagine that guy’s going to factor in somehow and mess things up.

Agreed about Chloe, the full on makeover she got is a good thing.
