Apparently it really helps to make the episodes more interesting when you're only paying attention to the Jack/Renee bits ;)

Yeah, I was worried because of the Smallville bad mojo (and she was on this horrible, I mean abso-effing-lutely horrendous teen soap in Canada. Think Degrassi but - 1 gajillion points for acting and storylines. It was that bad) but I liked her, and she (like Lou) seemed to not just be there for sex appeal. Why couldn't KK join the cast full-time? I mean it's lacking a bit since what's-her-name left!
Besides everyone knows Chuck and Casey should end up together

Now you went and put that in my head and it makes me think of The Odd Couple. Wonder if I have enough footage to do that one...

I'd love to see something like that. :D

As a preview of what's "likely" to come, check out my previous work at Pearvert's YouTube channel and you'll see how my mind works...

I'll admit I don't watch it for Chuck, Chuck's love interest, Sarah (thought she does look good in lingerie), or the BuyMore gang.

I watch it for Adam Baldwin and his insane personality. If not for him, I wouldn't be watching anything at 8 on Mondays.

He does make the whole thing much more entertaining. :D

For me he makes 80% of it.

And thanx to janetmaca's idea watch out for Chuck and Casey: The Odd Couple...

24 really is a show that works better when you can marathon it

Yes! Exactly! Even the 2 hour blocks are better than a single hour at a time.

As for Chuck, I don't like Shaw. I don't think the character was really needed for the show and I have this (bad) thought that he's going to be a turncoat because the lady the ring belongs to is alive and being held hostage or something crazy like that. Admittedly though, I did like Casey in last night's episode.

Yeah, I get the feeling Shaw will turn on them too, because otherwise why is he around? I don't get it.

I thought he was going to be a love interest for Sarah, but I could be mistaken (and hopefully am). Cause I heard they were both getting new love interests this season (wow, really looking forward to that).

It doesn't seem like he'd be a love interest for Sarah, but knowing these writers, he probably is.

The worst things about 24 are as follows:
- "development" episodes, which set up more things later.
- the little clock that appears at the bottom of the screen letting you know the hour is ending but there won't be another episode for another week!

Last night was rather slow, though you can kind of understand why given how much was in the first four hours. The next couple are usually a lot more developmental, but there really was a heck of a lot of just driving around this episode. It was a bit daft if you ask me, even if it could be considered more realistic.

And the more I learn about Dana Walsh, the less believable I find it. I mean, she's an ex-con, changed her name, and yet still got a Top Secret security clearance from CTU? Apparently the federal background check is for s**t, if they missed something that significant.

Absolutely!

You're probably right. We'll probably have more of this for a bit.

I know, right? This is what CTU does.

Since they started doing this whole 4 hour block to start the season, it's seemed like hours 5 and 6 are usually slow, sometimes even 7, but then it starts building again. It's just one of those things I suppose.

Exactly!
