Finally, some good news. My eye pressure numbers have come down enough with the drops that I won’t have to have surgery. Phew. The thought of having my eyes sliced into terrifies me. I have to use the drops for the rest of my life, but I’m still so relieved.
OK, now on to the more important stuff - last night’s episode of 24. I’ve been irritated with the McGill character for a while now, but I liked how he was able to redeem himself.
I was surprised they killed off Tony’s character in such a lame way, unless maybe he’s not really dead. The drug he was jabbed with was the same thing they were giving Henderson and they were able to bring him back over and over, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Tony didn’t return. Last year a near-fatal bullet wound to the neck only made him miss a few hours work, and this year’s life-threatening injuries/burns only took him out for six our seven hours.
A friend sent this to me . . .
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT JACK BAUER
If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with only two bullets, he’d shoot Nina twice.
If everyone on “24″ followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12.”
Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

Jack Bauer is the leading cause of death in Middle Eastern men.
When Jack Bauer was a child, he made his mother finish his vegetables.
When President Palmer started doing Allstate commercials, it took him 43 takes before he could stop saying, “You’re in good hands with Jack Bauer”.
In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4 times. What the heck have you done with your life?
Finding Nemo would have been vastly more exciting had Jack Bauer been looking for him.

I always stop in and check for your 24 recaps because I am an avid fan myself. I really chuckled at that list of Jack Bauer funnies.
I never liked McGill either, but was relieved to see he redeemed himself. I admit I got misty eyed when the security agent was saying goodbye to his daughter on the phone.
I want to slap Kim. You’d think she’d realize by now that Jack had no choice in keeping her safe but to allow her to think he was dead. I nearly shouted “oh hug him already!” when Jack was nearly begging for time with her.
Do you remember in Season 2 when Jack was “interrogating” Nina in holding and he leaned into her and whispered something into her ear? We were never told what he said to her, and 24 fans have long speculated what exactly he said to her that made her go pale. I’d kind of like to think he said “one day Nina, I WILL kill you”.

Glad you liked those Bauer-isms. Wish we could lure more 24 fans here. Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to myself.
Kim’s character makes me nuts. Did you get Chloe’s little dig at her when she said those upgrades were made two years ago, but SOMEONE (looks directly at Kim) apparently wasn’t doing their job. I love Chloe. Loved that line of hers to the psychologist guy about breathing. Wish I could remember just how it went.
Over the weekend I saw a first season 24 episode where Jack’s wife told Nina she was pregnant. I missed that the first time around. That made me even more angry with Nina. Did Jack ever know she was pregnant? I can’t remember.

Yeah Jack knew Terry was pregnant. I think she told him on the phone when she finally got to CTU.
I do really enjoy Chloe’s character and the actress who plays her. When she first joined the cast I wasn’t sure but then she grew on me. She is the perfect super smart computer geek with attitude. Her one liners really make some of those scenes memorable. My friends and I will actually try to pick out which character had the best one liner of the night (silly I know).

My favorite 24 line EVER: “The only reason you’re still conscious right now is because I don’t want to carry you.”
I need to watch the first two seasons again, and buy the third season. Incomplete collection–can’t have that.
