So I'll be taking the liveblogging reins tonight. I'll see you in about 20 minutes!
Here we go!
9:00 PM - I really hope we get lots of rainman action this week. That was a BRILLIANT idea by the 24 writers. Almost as brilliant as the idiot from France who believed that we had Manny's email address and would publish it openly.
Roosevelt governed fine from a wheelchair? Didn't they see Pearl Harbor? He had to stand up in order to get anyone to be impressed.
9:01 - The nuclear strike against Fayed's country? Seriously, they couldn't make something up like Qumar on the West Wing?
9:04 - Because the 25th amendment says the Cabinet decides, they can't ask what a doctor would say? That's pretty shoddy constitutional law...
9:08 - "The president must be strong enough in body and mind to defend this country." I'd have LOVED to see Reagan defend this country, you know, single-handedly.
Ads - It's official: I bogarted Tyler D.'s night to liveblog. So I'm handing over the reigns—the rest of this post will be his.
----TYLER'S POST----
9:23 - Is Milo a moron or what? Wait, spoons (almost) redeems himself.
9:26 - Nuclear straws? I WANT ANOTHER NUKE!!! :/ NO MORE TALK!!
9:28 - HOLY CRAP!!! They better not start writing in complete silence with a frackin timer on the screen.
9:32 - Affidavits!?!?! Any more references to writing and I'm out. This is pathetic.
9:34 - More paper? I just went emo and sliced my wrists wide open....wide open.
You know what....
hmmm...
9:45 - Blood trail? Is Jack a blood-hound now?
9:50 - I wish Jack would scream "Boom Headshot!" just once when he wastes somebody. That would make my day.
9:54 - "Boris the Blade" is fish food? Now that is tragic.
9:56 - Well, I got my nuke "launch". Did this episode seem like I watching The Office? Just not as... anything really?
156 comments:
Allow me to be the first to say...
DAMMIT!
Damnit? Why?
Sadly, political blogging just doesn't bring the comments the way that varying degrees of naked posting do.
Good luck in whatever you choose to do.
As for tonight, I'm ready to see if I couldn't have expected the ending the way the Fox commercial guy makes me believe I won't.
He better - this season just hasn't been that good yet.
I noticed that you picked the oddest day of the year to "retire".
Yes, I didn't notice that until after I posted it. But I assure you, unlike a certain spoilers post, it was not an April Fool's joke.
Stevegg - It's official. His RFTR blog is dead. No joke.
Yeah Him - Hey! My other blog is chock full o' (half) naked babes, and I don't get near the hits that B4B does!!!
That, and my high-def feed is pixelating on me (didn't get a TV with the QAM tuner, and I'm in a piss-poor spot for OTA broadcasts).
Then make it a double-DAMMIT!
I seem to have missed the "viewer discretion is advised" disclaimer.
I thought I had it today?
A tip from Hot Air - Dave Barry says that Penis Nose comes back. Of course, he posted that yesterday.
Ty - I sent an e-mail around at 830. No one replied!
That is because I was eating Taco Bell!!
And Dave Barry is a tool. Just my $0.02.
Oh, and how did Palmer go from coding to up and feelin' fine in ten minutes???
Weak.
Trust me, Tyler. You don't want this transition.
Adrenalin - the faux-brain food of the zombies.
Ty - Then you're in no condition to LiveBlog!!! We can't take the, um, global warming, at the site. Heh.
Kim Bauer returns tonight....so I hear.
I'll just edit RFTR's post. I'll also add something I was kicking around today.
Taco Bell? As if the nukes weren't bad enough,....
I'm so used to Lenox playing dorks...he plays a good ass-ish person.
Does anyone else recognize the blond chick with VP Nuke'em?
They should play Rock, Paper, Scissors instead of using that constitution thingie.
Shoddy, yes. They're 'Rats, so they operate just like Congress, with just a bit more oversight (eventually they'll have to get 2/3rds of Congress to agree).
Tyler, if you want to take over, just say the word. I'm trying to eat dinner while I liveblog, so it'll probably be lame.
I'd have LOVED to see Reagan defend this country, you know, single-handedly.
or Jimmy Carter...
B&E - No, but she's a mondo-hottie.
And can we please decide on whom is LiveBlogging???
Well Wyatt, at least you're getting the hits.
It's amazing the hits that this place gets and the ability it has to create gossip.
Wait.. there was NO mole at CTU? Did they hire new writers?
Love-hate triangle going on between Kemper, Token and Schroder.
Section four: Involuntary withdrawal
It is also possible for the Vice President, together with a majority of the heads of the executive departments (that is to say, members of Cabinet) or of such other body as Congress by law provides, to declare the President disabled. The provisions of section four have never been invoked. An "involuntary" withdrawal may be declared for a variety of reasons. The most likely scenario, and the primary purpose of section four, is incapacitation. This results in both the inability of a president to discharge the duties of his office, and his inability to provide a written declaration to that effect. It is possible, however, for such a declaration to be made even if the president is fully able and conscious, should the majority of his officers find grounds other than medical disability, such as insanity, emotional instability, or conflict of interests, affecting national security. In any event, the president would continue to discharge the powers and duties of his office until Congress had reviewed the case and voted to strip the president of his powers, thereby preventing the president's officers from exploiting section four to stage an easy coup. The President may resume his duties by a written declaration sent to the President pro tempore and the Speaker. If the Vice President and Cabinet, however, are still unsatisfied with the President's condition, they may within four days of the President's declaration submit another declaration that the President is incapacitated. Congress must decide within 21 days the issue; a two-thirds vote in each House is required to permit the Vice President to assume the Acting Presidency. For the remainder of his term, the elected president remains the President (and the acting president remains the Vice President) albeit stripped of his powers and duties, and he may compel Congress to review his competence at any point in order to resume his duties.
It's a phenomenon. Believe me, the staff here is as bewildered at it as much as anyone else . . .
Actually, it's the show . . . not us.
I recognized her from the A&E series Nero Wolfe. She was one of the main recurring characters. Her name is Kari Matchett.
It's amazing the hits that this place gets and the ability it has to create gossip.
It was amazing that we were able to fool so many people in so little time.
Don't ask the Attorney General...he'll just fire everyone.
There is no question there is a mole. The question is will they be successful in round 2 of the Season Six Mole Hunt.
Chapelle saved by the tie, but Gloria Allred f'ed it up. Plan Two-Three Zebra is back on.
Er, Mr. AG. SCOTUS has no authority here. Chapelle needs to go to Congress in a hurry.
Tyler, wake up and do your duty for your country... I mean blog.
This episode sucks. Is Tyler liveblogging now?
Mark - there is a provision that says that Congress could either add to the actual Cabinet or depower the Cabinet from that decision. However, I do not know whether they did.
I hate this plot line with a PASSION!!!
When the liveblogger cannot fulfill the liveblogging duties it falls to the vice-liveblogger to take over those duties.
I do believe I called this a transition episode.
B&E:
She was also in this movie with James Brolin and Jane Seymour that was good.
Okay, after missing the lamest 12 minutes of 24 ever, Tyler is now officially taking over.
Is it possible to have two suckass episodes in a row???
AND WHERE THE FRAK IS JACK BAUER???
IT'S HIS DAMNED SHOW!!!
I'm glad I'm outside the chain of command here.
Schroder covering for Kemper, who IS the mole.
AND WHERE THE FRAK IS JACK BAUER???
The previews said this episode would have an ending "noone saw coming"....
WE WANT JACK!
WE WANT JACK!
WE WANT JACK!
DAMMIT, that's not Jack. That's Chiggy and Allred.
Sorry, but Chiggy Killer is too good for Karen.
Jack....Jack...
Yeah, that ending will include our first glimpse of Jack!
There's Jack. I need the 5-count, dammit.
This episode sucks. Is Tyler liveblogging now?
:-(
If any of the creators/writers of 24 are reading this, gotta tell you: I get better story ideas in my shorts!
I want Jack too and have I mentioned before that I miss David Palmer???? All the presidents after him have SUCKED, big time!!
30 minute drive in 10 minutes? Jack would have time to drop off the dry cleaning.
This episode sucks. Is Tyler liveblogging now?
:-(
Just messing with you buddy.
Forgot to set the stopwatch, but I think that was under a minute.
Write faster. Uh-oh, the fate of Durkadurkastan is in the hands of Cynthia McKinney Chapelle.
Lisa is banging Daniels. AWESOME!
I think the blond chic must be related to Bill Clinton. She has absolutely no problem with perjury, yikes!!
Powers Booth's + HD = gross
David Palmer didn't die. His death was faked to allow him to run secret op's with The Unit.
Mark - And he is lauded as a hero today.
Uh Oh. Did I let next April's prank out of the bag?
The Man - I think that ick factor was the point of casting Major Cassidy as VP Jim Jones.
Where was the pixelation when I needed it?
LMC - it IS a 'Rat administration. Perjury is second nature.
Tom Lennox = Big Grapes!
Fleinhardt, you sneaky bast3rd.
This show has no basis in reality. If it did, Caged Weasel would be dead where he stands.
Then again, the clock ticked before Jim Jones decided whether to start serving Kool-Aid.
Lennox is the best non-Jack character this year - hands down.
This has been.... Jackless? To such an extreme extent I don't feel like watching.
David Palmer didn't die. His death was faked to allow him to run secret op's with The Unit.
...and the Allstate commercials?
On an INTERESTING note, you can cast your votes in this week's matchup of Miss Blogs4Bauer. Just scroll down, and cast your ballot. The current vote is split at 50-50.
It's gotta be better than where this episode is headed, right?
If I wanted to learn about admendments and perjury, I would have not slept through 4th grade Social studies.
Release the pics!
TheMan - Re: The All State commercials - How do you think they finance those ops?
Click here to vote for this weeks Miss B4B match-up
Wyatt:
By the way, how can you not like Dave Barry?
Who else thinks that Numb3rs is going down? Redeemed weasels don't have a high survival rate on 24.
Tyler...can we get a Kim pic?
Chapelle is too kind to those that sided with Jim Jones.
LMC - Just don't get him. He's okay, but not great.
Future question from Nagaonaworkhere - Is that polonium in your arm or are you just happy to see me?
Thanks Milo...you douche.
Jack shoots someone on a ferris wheel, +6 points.
Nice noisemaker.
I wouldn't bet on that, Gradenko.
Now Gredenko's a one-armed bandit!
Did I hear a "dammit"?
Season 4.5, only Gradenko didn't tighten the tournoquet tight enough.
Chase Edmunds called...he wants his plot line back.
Blood trail? Is Jack a blood-hound now?
Worse. Vampire.
Someone give Boris the Blade a hand.
HA! I kill me!!!
You gotta love the use of the axe and cougar bait pictures!!
Gradenko - That Edmunds guy is a wimp. He only had his hand lopped off. I chopped off my whole arm.
Ty - Nice Kim pics, though!!!
Future dialog: "There, I've disarmed the nuke... um, no offense, Gradenko."
I still don't think Gredenko is going to be left to hang out minus an arm and bleeding, but that's the a good way to show you're sorry for making a mistake.
What kind of place leaves a bunch of axes lying around?
Yeah, the ep is getting better with about 10 minutes to go.
Still weak, though.
Useless Fox5NY 24 story:
"What watching 24 does to your body"
Huh? Bores it to death.
Now, when RIcky Stratton embraces Zen Buddhism, he can ask Gredenko ... well, you can see where I'm going with that.
Is CTU running my TV signal tonight? I'm losing the signal.
Useless Fox6 (Milwaukee) "24" story - Is "24" inducing stress in its fans?
The Man - BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
FIREFIGHT!
A one-armed guy and a Muslim terrorists walk into a bar...
Was that ONE? My picture pixelated again.
Boris the Blade turned on Nagonaworkhere.
He's injecting him with BRAINS
I'm a federal agent. I'm taking this slab of meat into custody.
"Hey man, I just wanted an espresso!"
Chapelle really needs to relax; it's not going to be the adrenaline shots that kills him.
Wayne Palmer stars is
"JUNKIE ZOMBIE PRESIDENT!"
Yowza Kim! Great move by Gredenko...
absurd thought -
God of the Universe likes
dirty terrorists...
.
+1 on the kill count
although it might earn some coolness points
Jack Bauer with a gun (1 point)
Jack Bauer with a gun (1 point)
2 kills-in-1 (+2 points)
Plus he said "show me your head" so he said something cool.
Jack Bauer says something cool before killing them (+1 point)
Total = 5 Points
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
enjoy one arm...
.
Boris the Blade is all washed up.
YES!!!!!!!
I win.
Gredenko Death = Wosrt episode ending . . . .EVER!!!
Palmer is ordering the Two-Three Zebra.
Payback....this time it's for real!
Well, I've got to admit -- I didn't see that coming.
OK. That makes no freakin' sense.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe likes
flip floppers...
.
Yeah - they were right - didn't see Wayne launching a nuclear strike after all of his lameness.
Fox5NY says that watching 24 can affect your health...this one I have to check out.
Someone forgot to feed Palmer some brains . . . now look what happened!!!
Now if only Tony Blair could do the same thing . . .
I guess that will make the episodes go on now that Gredenko is dead and Fayed is in custody.
8 episodes to go...
where we're going, only Fox knows.
Zombie Chapelle - Must.Eat.Irradiated.Brains.
Unless 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm begins with President Belushi and the Joint Chiefs yelling "April Fool!"
I don't think John Kerry and Mitt Romney combined could pull off such a flip flop that fast
Roid Rage
HOLY SHIT...
Jack is down...next week.
I SHOULD'VE seen that coming. Chapelle is your typical 'Rat; weak, egotistical, prone to irrational decisions.
Jack's dead. Blogs4Doyle will begin the week after . . . .
Oh, and Dave Barry is all wet (and we're all happy) - NO PENIS NOSE!
'Prison Break' called. They want their implausible plot twist back.
Jack's dead. Blogs4Doyle will begin the week after . . .
Well we have to nab Blogs4Doyle1 because someone already got B4D...
If it comes to Blogs4Schroder, I'll have to go to LA and revoke his LA privileges permanently.
What the hell is with fox and these future episode wreckers?
The Man - it's time to move this thing to WordPress :-)
Yeah, and like Dave Barry, that guy is a tool as well . . .
absurd thought -
God of the Universe does
NOT want Kim back...
.
Kim Bauer also returns next week.
With a few seasons left of jack, this just seems to be another heart stopping episode.
Since we're robbing past seasons and sharks are jumping over Gredenko's body, a fake Jack death doesn't seem implausible.
However, blogs for Doyle is even worse than Oprah directing her fans to watch 24.
All I care about is the Kill Counter. Was that +5 I saw?
Oprah should direct her fans HERE!!!
You can help me talk about this lame episode tomorrow morning at 6:00 am Eastern on First Cup Radio.
The call in number is (718) 664-9725
All I care about is the Kill Counter. Was that +5 I saw?
Yep...it was a 5 pointer. Next week the Kill Counter keeps rolling.
Oprah should direct her fans HERE!!!
Chapelle has fresh, irradiated brains. We'd have tired, retread lack-of-brains. Not exactly a fair trade (though it would be a "fair" fight, at least for us).
Imagine if they had Jack on the entire hour instead of 10 minutes. That guy who guessed 17 would be right.
Next week the question is how can a ragtag terrorist group with no leadership ambush Jack at all.
Really.
The shark jumping is getting pretty goofy with all of these plot holes and impossibilities.
I'm not even getting into Wayne with suit and tie after being pulled out of a coma. The guy was bloody, but he's dressed impeccibly. I guess it's time to buy a new shirt and tie based on what he's advertising.
What was that about a Kim-counter?
Dude, I'm sure I'm the 18385th person to post this, but you can totally see through that dress.
yankz, what is your point?
i'm glad i'm not the only one left on my couch (in my leopard print negligee no less) and thinking "WTF???" and two shots of pure adrenaline and Palmer would keel over. No joke. UH, DOCTOR, do you even remember your Hypocratic oath?? (FIRST: DO NO HARM)And whoever is writing about the 25th Amendment should be shot by Jack. Even if this is taking place in the future, this is bullsh*t. And how freakin' agnostic of Doyle "I'm trying to decide the truth" "well, here's my truth f*cker: get outta my face" Awana I still think the writers should put out a suggestion box!
BTW, did any of you notice that Nadia SMILED?
No point other than "That was awesome."
