"24" Review, and, My Two Days As A Bachelor

First things first; let's go back to Monday night, shall we?

The plane is halted, and what does the repairman get for his troubles? Shot, of course.

Jack, of course, is just kinda hangin' around with Marwan and Company, until he's able to send out an "SOS" of sorts (insert ABBA song here) which helps late in the hour when Tony can figure out where those screwed-up phone lines are that Jack did. Boy, Ma Bell's not gonna like him.

As an aside, anyone think that if Verizon was the company involved, they'd tell you it was a "problem within the warehouse", and therefore, none of their concern?

Okay, back to business.....

Audrey is torn in two. Pop is gone, Jack's missing, Paul's fighting for life. I don't know why, and I may end up being wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but I still think she's bad.

Edgar gets a little ego this hour, which will in turn haunt him later with the discovery of key information on that CD-R he kept throwing around. It also contains hidden tracks from the Rolling Stones, but he doesn't know that either....

Chloe is, well, Chloe. She's got a soft spot for Jack (crush, maybe?) and will always watch his back. Her and Edgar are now officially oil and water.

Who's this guy they brought in to hand tactical procedure? Worthless character from what I can tell, unless he's the swerve on next week's plot.

Poor Beerus (how DO you spell his name?!?), gets a chip implanted, gets it knifed out. Loses both parents and girlfriend, is interrogated, then gets a hole in the back of his head. Suddenly, 11th grade doesn't seem so bad.....

So, we ask of you the following:

--Where's the plane goin'?

--Can they find Marwan, or will the next event trigger something that allows him to "get away or hide" of sorts?

--It's 10pm now, President Palmer is about 3 to 4 hours away. Anyone wanna bet the current Prez is the target of tonight's red eye?

--Think Marwan will ever get around to paying his cell phone bill, with roaming charges and extra fees for alley usage?

--If Audrey is good, what does she do by 8am tomorrow morning? The bet is, staying with Paul. That is, if she's good.....

--Michelle is doing great being in charge; keep up the good work!!

--UPDATE FROM fox.com---It's "Behrooz".

--When does Sarah return?

And, finally, will my local Fox affiliate finally show "24" one time without a glitch in a commercial break which leads me to fear that we will return to the program LATE??!!??

On to other things:

FINAL FOUR: I got the left side of the bracket right (Illinois and Louisville), but don't ask about the right side. Not sure who I'm predicting for Saturday; I'm still thinking about it.

BACHELORHOOD: For two days, I have been a "bachelor bum". The family took off Tuesday for a trip to the mountains (Rachel's first trip to the mountains, too!!). They are staying in Harrisonburg and have golfed (miniature), enjoyed the indoor pool, lounged in the jacuzzi IN THEIR ROOM, and went horseback riding today. In the morning, they check out, head down I-81 to a Safari near Natural Bridge, and should return home before sundown.

Me, I've been at work, and coming home middays to make sure Katie Pickles is okay. Gotta take care of my girl! (Did I just say that about a CAT??!!??!?)

All in all, a night of quiet is fine, and after two I'm ready for the noise to return.

So, on that note, I'm goin' to bed.
