We're Live in "24" Land....

It's 8pm in "24" Land......9pm here. Let's go...

902pm: Audrey gets the bad news.

903pm: Jack is now further away from Audrey than ever, through no fault of his own.

904pm: Why is there "chatter"? If I want to attack someone, why do I go talking about it where the messages can be intercepted?

905pm: Well, what do you know? Prez is actually on the ground. Just in time for his travails to begin.

906pm: Paul lands at CTU. Audrey awaits outside. "Please tell me he's not gonna die!" Jack: "We just don't know."

907pm: Dad perplexed watching daughter with bleeding estranged husband having Jack on his payroll. Yikes.

908pm: Habib Marwan, 6' 2", lives in alleys.

909pm: She hasn't seen him in two weeks. Now he gets a call. Yep, it's her. Oops. BIG oops.

910pm: Lover one minute, psycho terrorist member the next. Can't trust a good looking brunette anymore....

911pm: Dina lies once, lies twice. Now, a third time.

912pm: Drop the son bomb on Dina. She'll suddenly know him soon.

913pm: Will she take the witness protection program offer? If so, how will she bond with Elasticgirl??

914pm: Who's the hostage? Jack: "Me."

917pm: Psycho brunette with violent tendencies. This is not a good evening for this pilot guy.

918pm: My girl is in charge!!!! You go, Michelle!!

919pm: Jack's using laser aggregators. Darn, nobody lets me do that. :(

920pm: Edgar vs. Tony....Edgar with the gut shot as he leaves the room. Is Tony trying to get in Edgar's chair?

921pm: CHLOE'S NAME IS UTTERED!!!! Saints be praised!!

922pm: Michelle pulls Chloe's "Jack strings". It'll work.

922pm: It worked.

*********PROBLEM: It's starting to look too much like the "old" 24. The newer characters are being pushed aside. Not good.****************

924pm: Does Dina return to see her son, and begin living by the name of "Shirley"?

COMMERCIAL: Blockbuster desperately tries to stay relevant to society.
COMMERCIAL: My cell phone won't ring with the Mazda zooms...I want the ticking clock from "24", of course!!
COMMERCIAL: I didn't know they filmed commercials in Montpelier. Check out the idiots in the monster truck!

We're at the bottom of the hour at CTU......


932pm: Yes, it's true, everyone in "24" land drives a Ford.

932pm: Jack is more of a realist than I am, that's for sure.

933pm: Jack suddenly remembers the Tylenol are still in the Ford.

934pm: I always answer the door with a handgun.

935pm: Dina nominated for best supporting actress at "CTU Screen Actors Guild Awards".

935pm: He ain't callin' for pizza.

936pm: Part one of Operation Venus FlyTrap works. We're goin' to see Marwan. Hope he has snacks!

936pm: Pop the trunk? For my car? You nuts?

937pm: Wherever he's hiding, I want one of them compartments in my next car for long-term storage.

938pm: Horrible half-hour ends as pilot is shot. Was with lover, then double-crossed, then shot. I'd have stayed with the wife. :)

COMMERCIAL: We love you, Mr. President!! See ya "later tonight!"
COMMERCIAL: Oh, dear; just what we needed. Romance blooming at Wal-Mart. Oh, wait a minute. When they, ah, you know, they make those stickers!!!!!
COMMERCIAL: Now there's an account I wouldn't want to do creative for. Wood Stain. Oh, you know my uncle died of drinking shellac. It's okay, he had a nice finish. :)
COMMERCIAL: NOTHING is simple with HP. Don't believe the hype!
COMMERCIAL: What's better? A backrub at Midas or a beating by George Foreman at Meineke?

944pm: About time we checked on Paul. First report isn't rosy. Heller becomes Dad at a crucial time. Stinkin' President; how dare he call him to work??

944pm: Hey, Audrey pulls at her nose like I do!

945pm: Do they ever use this satellite stuff at CTU to watch a football game from overhead??

946pm: Is it really construction work? Nope.

947pm: It ain't them guys. It ain't them.

948pm: Suicide car bomb. Oh, and the bridge is out, too. Now they really WILL need construction workers...real ones, of course.

COMMERCIAL: As much as I adore Mountain Dew, I've not seen a good advertisement for them since "Yahoo Mountain Dew!" was on the glass bottle early in my childhood.
COMMERCIAL: I could care less if Nissan wants to break a record.
COMMERCIAL: Will we find out who the Anti-Christ is via American Idol?

Well....it's 950pm. Any guess on the next moves to leave us hanging? Neurosurgeon show up? Does Jack meet Habib face to face?

I think we'd better focus on the pilot. Take off must be around the top of the hour.

953pm: CVA322. Be looking for it. If this were Atlanta, it would be in the parking garage.

954pm: Wouldn't you know? An alley!!!!

956pm: Dina's got a gun. Oh, Dina!!! You should've known it was empty.

957pm: That's it for Dina. That stinks; she was a great actress and character.

958pm: Hey dude, got a thumb I can borrow?

958pm: The plane awaits. Bet gassing it up cost a bundle!

959pm: PREVIEW: I hate those bridge exchanges, they never, ever go well.

And thus, it is 9pm in "24" Land.

My one hour of fun for the week ends. Now it's back to reality.
