Great recap - really loving the gay love triangle angle. I'd watch the episode again to catch it, but it sucked so badly it makes me bitter.

I laughed at every single Rainman scene, thinking of Rosie as well. That was really ridiculous.

I'm not sure what 24 can do to redeem this season. And I actually do like Milo. I guess I'm crazy. Maybe it's because he was there for Season 1.

Karen Hayes looks like Ian Mckellen in drag..

Or is it the other way around?

Ennui is setting in for "24". I think they'd better tighten up the time compressions and make it more believable. The current story feels like it's been going on for 13 weeks. Waaaaaay too many things happen in the span of an hour. Surely the writers can do a batter job of this?

Mark looks so familiar. Who is he? Has he been in something else??

Devon Gummersall as "Mark" has been around. We first met him as the nerd next door, Brian Krakow, who had a crush on Claire Danes in "My So-Called Life"... then a short stint on "Relativity" as West Wing's Toby Ziegler's son... then most famously as the "pink shirt guy" named Zach who raped Julie on Felicity.

while here, I guess i can add my gripe about this season. let's see how many more re-hashed storylines from past seasons they can give us... moles in CTU, president's getting ousted from power, blah blah blah.

thank god I have Season 1 of Prison Break to keep me entertained.

Loved the recap, but....I don't believe it was a sinister CTU room-it was Dead Drone Guy's hideout. Other than that how did the Palmer boys pick their Vice-Presidents? "Let's see-I want a far right reactionary, with no moral compass, a lust for absolute power, and no loyalty whatsoever.Ooh, ooh, and he must be an excellent liar". Do any of you have any doubt that Daniels was the guy giving the orders on the assassination attempt to begin with? And Jack finally found someone that could work with him in the field, and not end up getting splattered all over-I can see it now, Jack, hanging out at the Special Olympics recruiting a Special CTU team.

This episode was about as meh as the recap.

I guess if jack and Brady team up they can buy matching white suits.

yeah.. so-so episode, the story would be more interesting had the launched the boms, started war, etc... yes that blonde chick looks like a robot, and that handshake was sooo gay i was laughing too.
Bad about the season: how little of chloe we've seen so far, tom is getting annoying with his silence, wayne is't dead,
the timeline is fricking amusing to say the least,
there's no jerk above bill (jack and the gang have full support, which tey never do), but the most dissapointing part of the season is NO CRAZY JACK!!, i mean, i know he can't be the same man he was before china, but this just make me think that the writers made a mistake with this whole china thing, they just went too far.
however, i'm waiting for the real jack to please stand up...

by the way, great recap...

Is it wrong that I sometimes find myself hoping that the terrorists blow up something? I mean, I still want Jack to save the day blah blah blah, but come on, it's like watching Scooby Doo and "I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!" Blow some more stuff up!

I found it funny that in the beginning of this season Wayne Palmer whispered every line and I had to turn my TV to hear his breathy Tony Almeda voice...and then he wakes up and he talks normal! Drain Bramage works well for him. Good for him!

Good for Milo to make out with Nadia...she's H-O-T! Even if she was a terrorist, she's still pretty smoking.

Has Chloe given up? What's happened to her this season? Maybe she doesn't have PMS on this particular day. Too bad.

Johnson? Black turtleneck? I think CTU and District needs to learn from Jack about fashion.

I miss Edgar(Ccchhhllloooeeeeeeeeee!!!)

What happened in Denver? Somehow this is the biggest question of the show?! How sad!...though I do kinda want to know.

Jack smiling? That was kind of rough to watch. Seriously.

So yeah, this season kind of blows and all, but so did season 3 with Chase, so you can't win 'em all. If next year sucks, then we've got a problem. Then we'll have to resort to Jack fighting against living dead zombies. That'd be kind of cool to bring back Edgar, Tony, Michelle, Wayne, Teri Bauer, Samwise, Sara Gilbert, Curtis, Walt Cummings, etc. and watch Jack do battle against them. 24 All-Stars Edition 2009. Woo-hoo! Can't wait!

Omg!
Brady: "You take care of me, Mark!"
equals
Tardy the Turtle: "Crayons taste like purple!"

Great recap, but what the heck is going on!?! Where is Jack's dad and "son"? Where is Crazy and ex-prez Logan? Is he dead? It's been two hours?! And also, what's up with Wayne coming out of his coma perfectly fine. Not even a slur in his words....come on!
