   We have a bit of a dilemma (actually, it’s no contest, but still…). The Learning Channel is featuring a local family that has 17 kids tonight at 8 pm. I guess that’s on again at 11 so we’ll be able to catch both if we want to stay up that late on a work night (yeah, we’re old-bed at 12 seems kinda crazy). Also, at 7 pm, there ia something about a UFO “incident” in nearby Marshall Co. on The History Channel-it happened back in the late 70’s.

   24, however CAN NOT be missed in this house. Anybody idiotic enough to phone is out of luck.

   I had a new job go into production today, scheduled to run at 9-ish (EST). That was the most closely vetted code I think I’ve ever moved.

   OK, they got me with Jack’s brother. The spouse and I never saw that coming. He must have been a really Doug-like *bleep* to warrant such an immediate reaction.

   Thought the episode was kind of lame until the very end. Somewhat dissapointed to see Cromwell in the previews as Jack’s dad, was kind of hoping for Real dad Donald.

   I’ll give them a mulligan on this one.

   Well, the show occasionally has to take a breath and do SOME exposition. After the first four hours, a little regrouping was inevitable.

   Some memorable highlights of last night.

   Assad telling Bill Buchanan that he was not his enemy and holding out his hand and being met with the stink-eye and a gruff “follow me.”

   The NSA telling an admiral “don’t interrupt, the president is talking.” (I hold to my earlier prediction that he’s going to turn out to be all right).

   The way Jack climbed onto the roof to rescue the helicopter armed only with a television antennae. For those who think he’s in pretty good shape for being tortured in a Chinese prison for the last eighteen months, in Day 5 he probably would have just had to yell “get down NOW” and the helicopter would have obeyed. 😉

   Morris and Chloe’s ongoing flirtation. It’s almost getting to the point where you need an air sickness bag for the CTU scenes.

   The way they placed the two-way listening device on the AIA guy they sent undercover. Is it just me or does the detainee facility look nicer that some of the resorts in Northern Minnesota?

   Finding out that the Big Bad from Day Five was Jack’s brother. Watching Jack demonstrate how ordinary household items can be turned into an effective interrogation device.

   That, alone, was worth the price of admission.

   I’m sure Richard Dean Anderson liked that one.

   They need to market that antenna. It must be Jack’s version of the towel in Hitchhiker’s Guide. Just wave a TV antenna (TV ANTENNA???) at a helicopter and the stuck door pops open.
