Yeah, I like to close my eyes and imagine it sometimes. That is the greatest thing about my Autistic head I think. I can close my eyes and imagine the most wonderful scenarios. And then people tell me I can't have an imagination BECAUSE I am Autistic... oh well. I love to close my eyes and imagine scenarios. It gets me odd looks sometimes, since I am smiling and sometimes laughing at nothing but what I see in my head. It's too bad I can't just hook a projector up to my brain and SHOW the world what I see.
So, back to 24...
who do you think the Mole is in CTU who is manipulating the drones from the inside? It would be cliche to have it be Nadia. MAYBE IT IS MORRIS! That would throw things for a loop! Or maybe it is the new can't-act-to-save-his-life dude from Denver who assaulted Morris for doing his job. Don't like him at all.
And what is the deal with no post-nuclear-explosion panic? People are selling fruit? Playing tennis? Seriously. I am all about the 24 universe and all, but geez!
Mrs. Logan is crazy. Pure crazy. She needs to be institutionalized, not let out to live on her own. I am talking restraints here. But that stabbing of Charles Logan (who I cannot bring myself to call former president anymore) was one of the best moments of the season so far. And her reaction! Man, oh man! Screaming and wailing and crying and---it was nutso!
It was nice to see Agent Aaron Pierce, though. Nice of him to also dodge shaking Charles' hand. Nice touch, I thought.
But Chloe is back. Oh, her interactions with Charles Logan were classic Chloe. "Sorry, I am ambiguous."
And Jack can turn anything into a weapon. If you gave him a Q-tip or peanut he could kill someone with it. A belt is easy for him; just lasso it around Hunt for Red October's hands and then shoot him.
Too bad about the man who got Jack the sattelite phone; could have seen his death coming a mile off. And at least the Russian president had more sense than the crazy Chinese dudes.
Quick Question: What do James Bond and Jack Bauer have in common?

If Bill O'Reilly watches 24, I'll bet he was rooting for the bomb to destroy San Francisco. It would have been a win-win for him. He would have gotten to see SF (and its large homosexual population) get flamed (no pun intended), and he would have gotten to see a country with a lot of brown people get nuked.
I'll say this, CTU definitely has gotten more efficient. In the first season, it took them almost 24 hours to realize that Nina was a mole. Now, the time between realizing there is a mole, and the discovery of said mole is down to half-an-hour. Not that I believe that Nadia actually is the mole.
Poor Audrey.
So a blog on 24 that has posted some very true information/rumors in the past says that in Hour 15 Jack gets to deal with an autistic savant! It will be interesting to see what he does. Brady (the savant) is a hacker being manipulated by his loser terrorist-abetting brother.

Yes, and his name is Brady. I hope we see more of him, but I doubt we will. I think that storyline is over. [is sad]
All in all, I am not sure how I felt about that episode. I am glad we didn't start WWIII, but at the same time I was hoping there would be more death. (Does that make me a psycho?) And I don't know how I feel about Doyle; he isn't a self-serving bastard like Lennox, so I don't hate Doyle as much as I did in the previous episode, but he was also not very nice to Nadia, so I still dislike him a little bit---and I definitely don't trust him.
I liked how Jack interacted with Brady, and I felt more appreciative of that interplay than the make-out session between Milo and Nadia. If I were Brady, I sure wouldn't be okay with Jack touching me all the time, especially after being in the middle of a gun fight and watching my brother get shot. Actually, if I were Brady, I would probably have had a meltdown right there---but who wants to see Jack handle one of those? It wouldn't work with 24, so it is all good.
Gredenko irritates me, and I could tell Jack was just completely flabbergasted that he had the nerve to ask for immunity after helping DETONATE A NUCLEAR BOMB IN LA!! But of course in 24-Land, things like saying "Hell, no" to terrorists does not do anything to move the story forward.
And President Palmer being awakened from a coma and being absolutely FINE? Not to mention that he was using a breathing mask AND the doctor said "he's breathing on his own" only AFTER he was brought out of the coma? Come on! Maybe it is just my pre-med training and obsessive watching of medical shows that little stuff like INTUBATING patients that can't breathe on their own kind of sticks out to me. I dunno.
I liked how Brady wouldn't eat red food. I don't eat green food and woe unto the person who tries to get me to eat it.

Oh, and I wanted to add that I think the actor did a great job at portraying an autistic, all things considered. The hand gestures were good and looked genuine... I felt Jack Bauer was a little too patronizing to him, but I loved the rage in his face when he realized that Brady was being used and manipulated!
This season is too boring!! ! Where is the action!! ! Where are the explanation points!! ! Umm...Last episode was pretty good I thought. My predictions turned out to be false which is cool. I had a bad feeling something was going to happen to Brady, but he made it.
Next season they need to do something creative to break the aspects of the show which are being repeated again and again. If I was smart I would think of something but
Well, I think they changed SOME things this season, namely that a nuclear bomb went off in LA that Jack couldn't prevent. But the political side is the same (it is ALWAYS the same), and CTU needs some more intense stuff to do than just figure out someone is hacked into the system through a backdoor. Also, I read in a PEOPLE magazine article about 24 that there is some serious fighting that is going to occur between Jack and Fayed---the article said that Kiefer actually maked the dude playing Fayed pass out in rehearsal so it's probably going to be intense.
What would I do to make 24 more exciting? I would blow some more things up. Not nuclear explosions, but like the factory explosion last season. I would have a terrorist take more hostages so Jack had to save them. Actually, I would take all the bits I LOVE of 24 and just multiply them exponentially so we would end up with a Quentin Tarantino-worthy film...violence, death, explosions, and more explosions. Also, I would bring back Brady because I enjoyed watching Jack interact with him, and also because I think he was kind of handsome, and also because if no-sense Kim could get a job at CTU, then so could super-hacker Rainman/Brady.
I would lose a lot of the boring political stuff because it is, well, boring and the show is about Jack and CTU---which means it is about Jack and Chloe...and Morris.
