24: 10am - 11am (Spoilers Inside!!) by Michele Christopher
Welcome to the newest FTTW column: We're Running Out of Time! SPOILERS WITHIN! This is the Tuesday morning quarterbacking thread for all things 24. Where some of the FTTW writers discuss Monday's night episode, make predictions, engage in the usual snark and invite all 24 fans to come and talk about the best show on tv. We'll be doing this every Tuesday. Normally we publish our day's content at midnight, but on Mondays we will wait til 3am EST in order to give the west coasters ample time to digest the night's episode.
Michele: Weird Bald Guy is his BROTHER??!!?? "he has a habit of digging up things that need to stay buried" Oh yea. This is going to get interesting. Talk about surprises. This is why I love this show. Never a dull fucking moment. On the other hand, things I can do without: soap opera shit. I really don't care if Jack's sister-in-law wants to bang him or used to bang him or thinks of him when she's banging his brother. Leave that shit on the cutting room floor. I need action, not love triangle drama. Hey, does anyone else have trouble seeing the retarded brother from OZ in the role of an FBI agent? He does clean up nice, though. Ok, episode is over. JesusMaryJoseph, that was a lot to take in. Weird Bald guy = Jack's brother. Hot wife = Jack's former lover? Kid = model for Abercrombie and Fitch? Whatever. That plastic bag over the head was a cool ending. Weird Bald guy is WEAK without that Bluetooth thing in his ear. Now we know where his power lies! OHHH do you think Jack's nephew is his son? That would twist the plot a little. Well, not really. It would just piss me off with the whole family drama thing. And what if the hot chick in the car is................JACK'S SISTER??? Dude. Jack's father was the old guy in Babe. So his brother shot Robocop and his father hung out with a pig. Chloe was awesome with the weird looks tonight. She has really developed that "I want to have sex with you, but maybe at a later date when I'm not busy OPENING SOCKETS!" look. And mark my word, Weird Little Guy (you know, the Ghostbusters dude) - he's up to no good. Episode rating: 8.5 on the OMG Richter scale. Awesome. Baby Huey: ZMOG. I'm sorry, 24 baby ... I take it back. I'll never call you boring again.
Ernie gets patched through to the PRESIDENT: Ok. So let me get this straight. The guy that was responsible for the nerve gas attacks in season 5 and who also convinced President Logan to have Jack killed in order to try and keep Jack from finding out the truth about who was behind it all, is REALLY JACK'S BROTHER?? Holy crap! Not to mention, he is ALSO THE GUY THAT SHOT ROBOCOP!! This Gray (or is it Greg?) guy is obviously pure evil. He can't be Jack's blood brother. He must be the Evil Step-Brother or something, he can't be really related to Jack. OR CAN HE? Also, Chloe did a great job opening lots of sockets in this episode. That little brunette monkey woman. ALSO, Jack's father is somehow connected to this whole mess? My head is exploding. And we have to wait a whole week to find out what happens now? DAMMIT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! -E That's our take on the show. What's yours? Did you like the episode? Surprised? Saw this stuff coming all along? Got any predictions for next week, or for the season? Can you PATCH ME THROUGH TO THE PRESIDENT??? note to self: overdosing on caffeine before 24 is a bad combo.

Stumble It!

I was shocked that the earphone guy was Jack's brother!!!!!! I don't know anyone who wasn't shocked. And my friends said the same thing as you that the brother's kid could be Jack's. That would be interesting!!!

I have a feeling that from this point on, Jack is really taking off the gloves, like there is nothing holding him back whatsoever at this point.
I don't like that creepy advisor guy to the president. The Ghostbuster 'Viggo' guy...
There is always a traitor on the inside. I wonder who it is this time around...
ALSO the prison camp thread is going to turn out to be interesting. You know the prezident's sister is going to fuck something up there!!

(by the way, what's with all the guys from Robocop showing up in 24 anyway??)
And now the guy that invented Warp Drive turns out to be Jack's Dad who also has ties to corrupt nuke selling former soviet generals??
My head is going to spin off!

The guy who shot Robocop, the creepy curly haired gay boy from Fame, the scummy doctor who died via a helicopter falling on him during the last decent season of ER and THIS is the guy they choose for Jack's brother?! Cool.
Favorite Moment: "You're hurting me." "Believe me, I'm not."
Prediction: Mark Antony will fuck Cleopatra in the next episode...wait...wrong show...

You can download 24 episodes on iTunes now. That is cool.
Now if you miss an episode, you don't have to wonder what the heck you missed. Very cool

'chele,
In the movie he was the sensitive curly haired gay boy.
I shit you not.

I feel confident in saying that anyone who claims to have seen baldy as Jack's brother ahead of time is FULL of it! That came out of the clear blue sky. This season is looking pretty damn cool so far.
Michele, even though the soap opera aspects might be annoying at times, they're a necessary piece of the puzzle to moderate Jack's natural tendency to rip people's throats out. Oh wait, already done that this year... ;-)
