I honestly don't think they are ever going to go Chloe/Jack. I think they like having Jack free to hook up with random people.

And yes, Aaron was fun. I do disagree about Tony because I adore him and loved the dynamic he brought into the earlier episodes.

I wouldn't have a problem with hooking Jack up to random people if they actually crafted GOOD people to hook him up to. I did like Terri (his wife) and he actually DID have chemistry with the Mexican girl from S2 (I think), but other than that? Blah!!!!

Oh, I know I'm in the minority with Tony, LOL!

Ugh, Chloe's still with Morris.

I didn't get why that was necessary, actually -- especially since you've said that the fan reaction is not favorable for that couple. I mean, this isn't Tony/Michelle or even Bill/Karen. We could've lived without seeing Chloe with Morris, or even her kid (Preston...somehow, doesn't sound like a "Chloe" name to me ;p )

she and Kiefer Sutherland have ANTI-CHEMISTRY! And that's made even more obvious by the fact that she actually DOES have FANTASTIC chemistry with the guy playing Larry Moss.

Agreed...and if they're trying to set up a triangle, it's just...not working. Every time Larry gets on the phone with Renee, his face just says it all. :p

(Next week's confrontation really does look ridiculous...my goodness. I thought 24 was above that kind of melodrama :/ )

As for TAR, I know I shouldn't be rooting for Luke and Margie, but...you can't deny it makes a really, really good story. ;p

Why shouldn't you be rooting for them? It's a great story, it's true that just because someone is deaf doesn't mean they are less than. And they are showing themselves as worthy competition right now.

Agreed, SO AGREED on all your 24 thoughts.

Bad word choice...CBS has set it up so that I should want to root for them, and those are the contestants I usually immediately root against (Ron/Kelly were one example -- the whole marine wrapping-himself-in-the-flag thing. Uchenna/Joyce, to an extent, as well) But Luke and Margie just seem so nice and genuine...they melt even my cynical reality heart. :)

Ah, I see. I see. But you know what, they can set them up that way, but usually the truth of who they are comes out. Ron/Kelly annoyed while on-air, and Joyce/Uchenna revealed themselves after the show, and I honestly think that the show built them up (and cut out all of their aruging -- which apparently there was a LOT of) because they knew how tricky that finale was and with J/U winning they didn't want to piss people off.

Wah! Rob and Amber so shoulda won!!!
