24 DEATH CHART

Dragging behind in my posting..Not good! But that was an interesting and tense episode..Still not sure I buy James Heller willingly driving off of a cliff when he could've tried to drive into the woods and ditch the car... That would've made more sense to me. I guess they needed a way to have the character somewhat pay for jerking Jack and also definitely die so as to propel the story. But still...I ain't driving off of a cliff, I'm sorry. If I get shot trying to get away, that's different. So another character with more than a seasons worth of episodes has bought it. And we still don't know exactly what happpened to Aaron Pierce. But forget all that. I have three words that make me laugh about the next episode: Jack Bauer, Hijacker..lol..that will be hilarious....

EPISODE 1 A.M. TO 2 A.M. (Episode 19)

DEATH BY SHOOTING: 3 SEASON TOTAL: 78
BY JACK: 0 SEASON TOTAL: 22

DEATH BY VEHICULAR MISHAP: 2 SEASON TOTAL: 2

Oh, and as we talked about when it happened..Walt Cummings DIDN'T commit suicide...not without a little help, anyway...

24 DEATH CHART

So I guess the President DID have the same agenda as Walt Cummings...He just orchestrated the whole thing from the shadows all super-villian like. But now he's jammed up. This season has been incredible, in terms of how many recurring characters have died. I say this because I thought for sure that Audrey Raines was gonna get smoked in this episode( It seemed like Peter Weller shot her in the back. Her scream was so authentic, it was really well acted) and next week it looks like her knuckleheaded dad might catch a round. I made a list of all of the recurring characters( ones that have appeared in more than a season's worth of episodes) that have died:

David Palmer
Sherry Palmer
Michelle Dessler
Tony Almieda
Walt Cummings
Edgar Stiles
Nina Meyers
George Mason
Ryan Chappelle

Man, that's some list. Actually, Jack should kill Audrey's dad for punching him in the throat. No one punches Jack Bauer in the throat and lives to talk about it. But before the season is over you may have James Heller, Audrey Raines, Bill Buchanon, Curtis Manning( hey, where's Curtis? Haven't seen him in, like three episodes), President Logan and Aaron Pierce knocked off...That's ridiculous..what happened to Agent Pierce, anyway? I hope they don't kill him, he's a cool character. Oh, I forgot Mike Novick...he may in in for it too. Look out, Mike!

EPISODE 12 P.M. TO 1 A.M. (Episode 18)

DEATH BY SHOOTING: 5 SEASON TOTAL: 75
BY JACK: 3 SEASON TOTAL: 22

DEATH BY EXPLOSION:2 SEASON TOTAL: 8
BY JACK: 2 SEASON TOTAL: 3

Dare I do it? Do I dare mention that the Mets are 9-2? Man, that team has got some slugging on it...it's just a lot of fun watching them hit. And watching Jose Reyes leg out a triple is one of my last remaning pleasures in life. But I've gone and done it now...they play Atlanta and then go on a West Coast swing. I hope I didn't jinx 'em...ah, screw that! They need to go out and handle teams...They need to take 2 of 3 from Atlanta...and then wreck shop on the coast. Oh man...I LIVE for a great Mets season...Let's see what happens...

24 DEATH CHART

Still not sure exactly what the Presidents ultimate goal is...It couldn't be what Walt Cummings thought it would be: using a failed terrorist attack outside of the US to further our grip on the control of foriegn oil. President Logan knew the nerve gas would be running around this country. He played Walt Cummings so obviously he has a different agenda. It still has to piece together ( and make sense) but at least this episode was fun. All kinds of espionage and mayhem. Now...am I to assume that Peter Weller killed that woman and her daughter after she gave up Jack? Rugged...and that poor banker dude getting shot...you knew he was a dead man anyway but when he heard the tape that really sealed the deal. Poor bastard. I was joking with my friend that at the end of the season finale after Jack has shot the President or the White House explodes they should have a scene where that guy's poor wife is still sitting there all tied up. You hear somebody mowing a lawn and see a paperboy delivering papers and she's like "Hello? Anybody?". That would be funny...

EPISODE 12 P.M. TO 1 A.M. (Episode 17)

DEATH BY SHOOTING: 12( 2 assumed) SEASON TOTAL: 70
BY JACK: 2 SEASON TOTAL: 19

Oh, Keifer Sutherland is on the cover of the newest Rolling Stone. Interesting guy, Keifer. He seems like he would be a cool guy to hang with...and then there is an article about "24" and how it plays in a Post-9/11 America. Very interesting and both a good read.

24 DEATH CHART

Wha? Wait a minute, wait a f*&%in' minute...The President?!? They are going to have to work REALLY, REALLY hard to make this plot twist make sense...because on the surface it doesn't track. I mean, it's kinda cool that the President has been playing a buffoon all this time but I'm not sure it makes any sense. It was cool seeing Jack bein' a stone-cold killer again...and Wayne Palmer even getting in on the act. But this President thing...I don't know...

EPISODE 11 P.M. TO 12 P.M. (Episode 16)

DEATH BY SHOOTING: 6 SEASON TOTAL: 58
BY JACK: 4 SEASON TOTAL: 17

DEATH BY STABBING: 1 SEASON TOTAL: 5
BY JACK: 1 SEASON TOTAL: 3

DEATH BY VEHICULAR MISHAP(assumed): 1 SEASON TOTAL: 1

Oh, and they explained away the whole Wayne Palmer rifle thing...still kinda lame, though....
