My '24' Review 12:00pm to 1:00pm 1-24-05

12:00pm to 1:00pm

1. Okay…Jack Merked like 12 of the 16 terrorists. The Sec. of Defense took out two himself. And the Marines handled the other two. ALL in the span of 10 minutes.

2. I see Driscoll is recognizing who runs this! “Jack, I want you to be head of field ops until this crisis is averted.”

3. Just 5 hours before she was all up on Jack talking about you don’t work here I’m running this. Now after Jack singlehandedly saved the Secretary, she changes her tune.

4. Yo, Sec. of Defense son is sooo stupid. Just tell them everything you know! They almost killed your pops and your sister!

5. Aisha is shady. It wasn’t like we didn’t know that.

6. As soon as Berouz pulled the shovels out the car I was yelling, “You better crack Tariq in the back of the skull with that shovel. Not to my surprise he did. To my surprise, he kept hitting dude. Over and over and over again.” Is Berouz a Jack Bauer in training. Cold hearted.

7. Speaking of Jack. No one shoots dudes while they’re on the ground better than Jack Bauer. He’s shot so many guys while they were down over the past 4 seasons. He’s turned that into a science.

8. Probably the best this year. A-

My '24' Review 11:00am to 12:00pm 1-17-05

11:00am to 12:00pm

1. Middle Eastern Sherry is no effing JOKE!

2. Neither is Aisha!!! And she’s still maaaad shady.

3. That kid is gonna turn on his fam eventually.

4. Khaleel blew his horn at the wrong car. That brotha got out like WHAT?!?

5. Producers must not care for the new Prez too much. He gets 2 minutes of screen time each episode. He just ain’t as compelling as Palmer.

6. Debbie’s mom will be dead by 2:00pm.

7. You know Jack don’t care bout no stinking airstrike! He gonna go get his girl.

8. Overall: B- This was an okay episode. No real action. But the scene with the traffic stop was tense.

My '24' Review 9:00am to 11:00am 1-10-05

9:00 am to 11:00 am

1. Jack and his hair brained schemes that always seem to work (with varying degrees of success). Wanna break a drug kingpin out of prison? Start a bloody prison riot! Wanna slow down a terrorist you’re following? Pretend to rob a gas station!

2. I would’ve just slashed my man’s tires. But Jack’s strategy did get Khaleel’s cell phone.

3. This dude didn’t just pull a U-Turn on a CA highway did he?

4. Aisha Tyler. Do we have a replacement for Sherry Palmer? Fine as all get out black woman who’d do any thing, no matter how duplicitous and shady, to accomplish her goal.

5. Chloe walks like a robot.

6. Nobody ever trusts anybody else in CTU. These people look at each other with side glances more than the squadroom of NYPD Blue.

7. Curtis still looks like Kwame.

8. Chloe said, “You don’t have to repeat the deal. I’m the one that came up with it.” LOL!

9. Driscoll got some personal stuff of her own to deal with. Daughter’s craaaaazy!

10. This is one DYSFUNCTIONAL family!

11. Moms is one smart cookie!

12. Driscoll is not. When will she learn that Jack gets results? Driscoll been diddling herself for the past 4 hours while Jack caught Tomas, got info on what the primary objective was, and identified Khaleel. She needs to push that pride to the side and let the man do his job!

13. Oh yeah. Aisha Tyler is mad shady. She been there 45 minutes and is already making moves.

My '24' Review 7:00am to 9:00am 1-9-05

7:00 am to 9:00 am

1. So Jack is going out with a superior’s daughter behind his back? Isn’t that what he was mad at Chase and Kim about last year?

2. Speaking of Kim. She may be absent this season, but “the American girl” Debbie is primed to take her position as the dumbest broad on television. She follows her “boyfriend” around and actually thinks he will defy his Muslim parents to go out with her. “So you do whatever they say?”

3. Jack wasn’t given his due respect. The new head of field ops acted like Jack didn’t know anything. I wanted Jack to say, “I’ve saved the life of the Presidential candidate, saved Los Angeles from a Nuclear bomb, and saved the ENTIRE country from a biological weapon.”

4. The black guy, Curtis, looks like Kwame from the Apprentice Season 1.

5. Jack wastes no time getting to the heart of the matter. Jack goes in shoots the guy in the kneecap and asks his question. That’s getting the job done!

6. That was actually restraint by Jack, at least he pump two bullets in him and cut his head off.

7. Speaking of taking care of business, the guy who caught up with Andrew Paige is pretty efficient himself. Killed all his coworkers and my man’s moms.

8. That rocket flying behind Audrey and Heller looked just like what happens in Halo!

9. Also, wasn’t a rocket a little overkill? Just snipe the secret service guys first. No need to turn the burbs into a warzone.

10. I can see now how Jack doesn’t have people under his thumb (like Palmer) to do what he wants. Heller was NOT about to give him clearance. “Naw Jack. This is a different administration.”

11. Wow, it only took Berouz 10 minutes to get to the warehouse from his house! Gotta love that “real time” L.A. traffic.

I started my study for the Bar Exam Today

Yeah, I'm a little late getting started but I just wasn't prepared to jump right in. I just graduated, my Mom was out here, I needed to relax after finals. I had to watch Michigan blow the Rose Bowl. Okay, I'm just making excuses, but from here on out it's Bar Study Time!!!
