"Wish I could quit you, 24." Nice job using a line from Brokeback Mountain, and applying it to you're 24 fix. Clever.

I am a gay cowboy for 24, yesiree!

However, I can't make out from what you wrote if you liked the movie or not.

Fox executives have contacted me and informed you that you're supposed to say "day" instead of "season." Ha. (But it was "day 4" - unless you're a freaky time-traveler-type person.) I promise I won't spoil the just-begun season by saying anything about the remote-controlled penguin robots - oh dammit!

Who knew furt girl had a bod? For all I know, everyone who watched "24" last year, but I did not - nights are for skateboarding, while I still can - see that before tonight, re the maker of furtive expressions, Chloe. And I don't mean to demean the best character by referring to her as a girl;; the name's just a carry-over from my term for the actual girls that they had around, to be menaced, in the first two seasons, which was "jep girl".
-------------------------------
Bob - 2006-01-16 00:05:10
Or maybe it was just one girl, who they brought back to be menaced some more.

Don't even get me started on the sheep. Plus, the dog. While the dudes were falling in love they made the dog do all the work, and then they came back and the dog was kinda whimpering, and it was a bad scene for the sheep...there was something going on in the movie for me where, like, the animals were the victims of the Great Love, or at least among the parties involved. P.S. I don't know enough about these kinds of things to know whether this constitutes a "spoiler," so Paula, please remove if it does.

Eric: I really liked Brokeback Mountain! I do hope Heath andMichelle win Oscars, if only so I can hear Heath speaking in his real voice.

Rebecca: an astute observation! The horses suffered, too. And you're right, that dog was amazing--he looked like he was probably a real cattle dog.

Bob: Chloe is the best character, I agree. Did you know she used to date David Cross?

Oops. But if I do that, I will be a 24 geek. I like just being a mere drooling fanatic.

In the drinking game for 24, drink every time Jack says "You have to trust me". Twice in last night's show...
-------------------------------
Paula - 2006-01-16 13:36:58
You have to trust me

Ha, yes! Or, the perennial, "patch him through!" Or the sultrier, "Pipe it over to my desk," or the downright dirty, "Roger that!"

Like 2Fs, I'm also wondering how you managed to get a season on DVD that hasn't even been shown yet (aside from the first two hours). I want your superpowers.

I love that the technological know-how, the tactical smarts, the tap-tap-tapping of the computer keyboards, are what save the day, in the end.

Though I love the show, that's the part that actually annoys me the most. They toss the technobabble around using buzzwords to make it sound like they really know what they're doing, but it's all really just nonsense gibberish. And everybody who works there can hack into anything at any time, in under one minute. Being in the IT industry, I have a hard time getting past all that.

"Bring out the Logic Probe, Full Power!"

Oops again! I edited the original post to say "4."

nonsense gibberish

Eh, works for me! I just hope Sarah gets her revenge in Day 5. I mean Season 5. I mean--agh.

Sue calls that tenchobabble "whatever technology", as in " There they go, using that 'whatever technology' again!" I wonder if they'll still have the Mac user = good guy, PC user = bad guy as in seasons past.

It's still nowhere near as bad ont he technology front at the CSIs. Infinitely sharp, infinitely zoomable images - right!

Oh yeah? What about the cell phone camera that Jack had in the premiere? He was able to take some pretty detailed pictures of the terrorists and their devices with it (from a long distance away inside an air duct), and the CTU computers were able to use those images to identify everyone and everything.

I did notice Chloe using an HP monitor, so maybe the good guys have switched to PCs?
-------------------------------
Bob - 2006-01-18 13:43:06
Paula, no, I didn't know that about Chloe. Was that during season zero?
-------------------------------
Bob - 2006-01-18 13:52:52
And, was Cross working for the IRA, or Mossad? This opens up all sorts of new possibilities.
