24

[BackInTex]

Damn surgery. Bedded up at the hospital last Monday and watched both hours. Now I'm watching it tonight and only 24 minutes in I looking at my schedule for next Monday.

It took me two weeks to connect the dots. The actor playing the VP is Cameron Daddo. Cameron Daddo hosted "Pirate Master." I'm sure it's a small set of posters here who watch "24" and also watched "Pirate Master?"

This season of "24" has been quite good with periods of finding myself holding my breath, biting my lip and feeling my heart speeding.

He was also the male lead in the second season of "She Spies," and has guested on an episode of practically every procedural/legal show that has been around for at least a couple of years.

This season has been a big improvement over the last one.

I'm at a bit of a loss to figure out just what Jon Voight has to gain by sponsoring a big terrorist attack on his own. The story line was that he was a big backer of the now deceased General Juma so it's understandable that for a price he would give his client key intel. But now that Juma and his people are gone, I don't understand what he has to gain by pulling off another big attack (other than keeping the show going for another two months of episodes so that it can be called 24 and not 13).

The president's daughter needs someone to give her a big Jack Bauer sized whomp on the side of the head. Unless they're paving the way for another big revelation of someone like the chief of staff being the top mole in the White House.

And is every federal agency (this time the FBI) run by a complete bureaucratic nitwit whose only function is to make things tougher for Jack by being wrong 100% of the time (although I'll give the FBI agent credit for storming the White House when VP Time Waster was still debating his options).

I didn't make that connection until you noted it but I knew he looked familiar. Put me in that dubious club...

Voight no doubt has some whacky agenda of his own probably in conjunction with a third party villain. Anybody feel the return from the dead of Jacks daddy coming on? Not to mention the scary thought of an encore from Jacks daughter. A whole lot of "family issues" have been featured in this one so far.

When the daughter stuck the knife in the CofS I pretty much assumed one or the other is dirty. Maybe both! My money is on the daughter but I am usually wrong.

As to complete bureaucratic nitwits running a federal agency I think that, at least in the 24 world, that answer is a resounding yes!

And finally poor old Bill looks like toast to me. But if they can "revive" Tony then there is hope for most any character...

I guess nobody noticed the appearance of Rory Cochrane (the late "Tim Speedle" from CSI: Miami)?

I wouldn't place long odds on his being around for next season. Associate bad guys have an exceedingly short life expectancy on 24. Just ask General Juma.
