**FAQ Bauer (aka Thread Rules)** _1) What can be discussed in plain text, unboxed?_ A: Any events in episodes, once aired on the east coast – as well as any speculation based on these already-aired events. _2) What should I confine to spoiler boxes?_ A: Any discussion of upcoming shows that contains information from sources outside the aired material, or any speculation based on such things. This includes the “Next week on 24” previews, which some people choose not to watch. _3) Why did Josef swipe the nuclear rods and is now on his way to meet a big pile of armed Islam rebels all by his tender little lonesome, with no Russian henchmen to back him up?_ A: Because Josef is a moron. * * * Previously on 24: - Dana has apparently decided that her best solution is to go and kill Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Doofus. If she succeeds, add a couple counts of murder (not juvie this time) to the aiding-and-abetting charges she’s currently racking up. All to keep boyfriend from finding out her real name is Jenny. - President Hassan continues to go all wingnut and is arresting everybody he knows, or who exhales in his vicinity at the wrong time. - Less interesting storylines aside, Jack was back in action! The torture did nothing (“Dude, they’ve killed me and brought me back before – bring on your little shock paddles…”). Jack zaps the torturemaster, escapes, sets an ambush at the fuse box, calls in CTU backup, then proceeds to capture Papa Russian as a solo act. And Renee thought she could rise to Jack-ness with her whole silly running-about, cutting-off-thumbs advancing behavior. - But now Josef has run off with the nukular rrrrods. So they will soon be in Farhad’s hands (and I predict Josef may get a different payment than he’s hoping for). * * * _24_, Season 8, Episode 9 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM SPOILERS AHEAD!
