Another night of 24, here are my notes (presented in real time)
- The reappearance of Logan, guess he wants to impress Martha somehow
- Old aircraft death valley, hmmm
- Seems like UAVs might be the delivery vehicle then
- The good ole divide and conquer scheme
- Uh-oh, seems like Jack is pissed that Logan got off
- "Take these people back to CTU,"...the kiss of death
- A recording device allowed in a classified area? Uhm?
- Death is the only answer, not let him off the hook. He'll give you up
- As mentioned last week, it's the Hitler plan
- Oops, a fuck up
- Punch him, Jack!
- Ugh, born again Logan?
- Are they going to kidnap Markov? Come on Jack...learn from your mistakes, do you want to end up in a gulag next?
- Jack's got no choice but to trust Logan
- I guess we find out what the delivery mechanisms are now
- Ah, I was right...looks like a Globalhawk
- A fatal error in confidence?
- Logan keeps new shirts in plastic in a drawer?
- Where did Jack get a tailored suit so quickly? I need service like that
- Why didn't Buchanan say, just don't get anyone killed Jack?
- Oops, Morris is using again?
- No courtesy flush?
- Yup...using again
- Why did you throw away a liquor bottle in the bathroom? It's not legal to have it on the grounds anyway
- Wow, it is just like the Hitler attempt...and they fucked that one up too
- Reed cracking under pressure
- Tom going to go Jack Bauer?
- The blast radius is only 10 feet, why run? Only looks strange
- Asaad is dead
- And it looks like Palmer survives, perhaps with only minor injuries

Another Monday night, that means it's 24 time!
- 5 high priority targets...are they all in Los Angeles?
- Milo...quit making noise
- Stupid Marylin
- Milo is dead...unless Jack comes to the rescue
- Ha, called that! 2 bodies on Jack's belt
- So does Jack shoot the knees?
- That's the second time in two seasons: "How could I have been so stupid?"
- Backto Chloe and Morris, who looks like he's feeling sorry for himself
- Why drop that he's up for a commendation?
- Figures the ole use Marylin as bait...somehow this always ends badly
- Josh eavesdropping...not good for him
- So, does Josh run away or does he go after granddad?
- Back to the bunker
- So they plan to sneak someone in to assassinate Wayne...similar to last season and CTU to get to Jack
- Put the blame on Al-asaad, typical
- The alcoholic falls off the wagon
- Morris is going to get relieved and at worst, fired
- Morris...you smell like whiskey and vomit, where have you been?
- Down goes Tom!
- So he wasn't going to be a weasel
- Mag lite, when you really need to fuck someone up!
- It's a set up!
- Wrong room
- Ah, guess not
- Jack, if you hadn't taken the stairs...
- Point and shoot. Nice directions
- Weird little hand things going on between them
- The bomb is dropped and he had to say the magic words, "David Palmer"
- Patriot, heard that before
- Dad's guilt trip
- Who saves Jack? Marylin or Josh? I say Josh
- Usually it's the villain who does all they yapping to stall
- Guess not...he chose to run
- A phone number to call...hmmm
- Logan! What the hell? And he's got a crazy man beard
- Jeez, copying a page out of history with the Hitler assassination attempt

My thoughts as I watch the episode in real time:
- Chloe finally breaking under the pressure? She needs Jack to scare her straight again
- A silver Maserati shouldn't be hard to find...unless they head to Bel Air
- McCarthy can't shoot him...Morris should know this
- Maybe he'll run out of gas in that guzzler?
- Time to switch cars...
- She kill him for the money?
- Guess so
- Al-Asaad in DC, the showdown with Palmer. Will he die?
- Tom angry! Is he going to cry?
- Tom...what if the terrorists want the US to react like you want to? Did you think about that?
- Ah...the VP is in on it!?!
- We already had one coup attempt by the VP in season 2...
- What did they talk about? Who is that guy? A view of the Capitol Building...FBI/DOJ?
- Is Reed part of the group that Graem Bauer set up last season?
- She doesn't seem too upset...
- 3 blocks away...and you didn't see him Jack?
- The AK is a bit of an overkill...
- No money for her...she's dead
- Create the device or what? He's dead? He's dead anyway
- They are just going to beat him until he agrees? Uhm...that doesn't compute
- Flush out the terrorists with a fire alarm?
- Dumbest.terrorists.ever
- Tom uses a Mac...does that mean he's good or bad?
- Immediate...murder?
- Come on Tom...go tell Wayne
- I sense problems with outsourcing
- Nice breaching charge timing
- How did Fayed get out?
- Disarming a nuke...that's going to be scary
- Through the ventilation shafts?
- Morris...that's one big screw up
- Tom went back to evil
- So the phones aren't STU-3s in the offices? Hmmmm
- Fayed reports to someone else?
- A Russian? Delivery systems? Targetting software?
- Shock at seeing Jack alive?
- An act for Jack's benefit...
- Oops, my bad dad...I didn't mean to kill my brother
- Morris, you're doing very well for someone with a hole drilled into their shoulder
- Does CTU know how much was put into Graem?
- Bill willing to fudge a report...is the dirt that Tom dug up true then?
- Barrel cuffs for the VP and President? Why no French Cuffs?
- Al-asaad a game theorist?
- Definitive action again...a coup would possibly take too long and they've tried this route before, so I think that means murder
- She blames Graem?
- She knows him!
- West LA, where all the Russians hang out?
- Going out in the field with Jack is usually the kiss of death
- Think about you for over 20 years? Hmmm
- Doesn't seem like a credible threat on the grandson, even though he prefaces it with Graem's murder
- Guess Lexus couldn't get the new LS to 24 in time
- Seems bad guys drive Lexus, season 4 had the same
- Use the Arabs as a means to an end
- I'm going to be there for you until I kill you, grandson!
- Guess Jack's dad does mean business
- Nice way to end the episode with lots of 'splosions

Here's tonight's episode of 24, with my notes in real time.
- Like a little mask is going to protect you from a nuclear bomb
- What if the terrorist network remaining isn't visibly Muslim? Ever think about that Tom?
- Another one of those the ends justify the means guys
- Must be a boring Secret Service job to be the elevator guy
- Why is it always a quarry where executions take place?
- 2 guys is never enough to hold down Bauer
- Doesn't Dad know that Jack is ask first then kill?
- I'll just leave my gun on the dashboard
- Is Graem calculating the odds?
- The nephew (or son?) is going to be a problem for Jack
- They don't know anything? I smell B.S.
- Protesting too much about Josh
- Ah, the return of Burke...the boob who screwed up with Robocop
- Does Morris go crazy?
- Seems surprised his brother is in Valencia...hmmmm
- Jack's dad seems awfully interested in the interrogation
- Ah, the truth comes out
- Nothing to do with McCarthy....what did Jack do to make Graem want to kill him so many times?
- Dad saves the day
- Graem knows more...
- Walid survives the curb stomps
- Need a few minutes? To kill Graem?
- Enter Dick Cheney
- Ha, Wayne gives them the ole FU
- Tom has no sense of history
- Who is in the photo? Who is left alive from previous seasons?
- Morris? Did he know it was going to be him?
- Coerciion was the key...and his brother was the bait
- Nice Maserati
- Is Graem about to die?
- You fools, don't leave him alone.
- Ha, the dad is in on it...but why the setup with the attempted killing of both dad and Jack?
- The audible!
- Nice acting
- action packed next week
