Yesterday on 24 I loved it when Lynn finally got taken out of commission. How it happened was great too. The security guard asking pretty much anyone but Lynn what to do was excellent.
And for the Buffy fans when Jack needed the secretary out of the way, Audry called her and said her name was Jane Espensen (I don't think I spelled her name right), did anyone pick up on that. I can't remember who wrote the episode, but considering David Fury is a Co-Producer and Writer for the show it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't by accident.

The two hour 24 was wonderful.
SPOILERS
When Jack shot Miriam I had been shouting before hand, "shoot his wife Jack" and when the bastard still didn't give up the nerve gas my reaction was the same horror that Jack's was.
Kim's back. I expected her to have the reaction she did and I loved it Chloe proved once again why I love her character. She told Kim off about the people who knew her dad was alive and why it wouldn't have been a good idea to be one of them and to cut him a break and she did this the same general way Anya (on Buffy) would do.
I didn't see the ending even when the key card was the storyline at the beginning of the second hour. I am naive that way. This was another in a handful (just a handful) of episodes when the ticks of the clock at the end remain silent, but since Edgar died due to nerve gas I would hope they'd do that.
Wonderful episodes!

For those of you that watch 24, you might be interested in at least reading a plot synopsis of 24: The Game eventually. The plot is canon and provides some insight for what happened at the end of season 2 and some backstory for season 3. In fact, I can post a synopsis here if someone asks.
As for Monday's two 24's, which were indeed great:
Robocop... er, I mean Henderson, kicks ass. I really want to know what he knows. Maybe Tony will get it out of him now that they're trapped together.
So Kim shows up at CTU and within 45 minutes half of the personnel is dead. Figures. I did like her scene with Jack though. And yeah, while it made sense that she'd be pissed, I still wanted someone to put her in her place. Then Chloe did.
Let's all give a big round of applause for Lynn. He sure had a wonderful first day of being in charge, didn't he? Good Lord. Though, what else could you expect from someone who was appointed by the President?
See ya, Edgar. Didn't really like you, but I didn't mind you being around. I guess you did enough to deserve the Silent Clock Sendoff.

The t.v. show starting this week entitled The Loop has TNP cast member Bret Harrison (Jamie) on it and I only realized this as I read the TV Guide.

24 was on last night.
SPOILERS
Tony revived only to supposedly die. Although there may still be a chance, but I personally do not hold out hope. Lynn, along with a security guard died in (surprisingly on Lynn's part) a heroic ending.
The goodbye Kim said Jack made me cry, but not quite as much as Jack saying no to Audry's question of "Are you all right?"
All in all this was a sad episode. And honestly, I can't imagine Homeland Security doing any better than CTU.

An hour before 24, Prison Break (I realized last night that sometimes I make it one word out of a habit that I don't even know where it came from) aired an encore episode. The episode that aired before next weeks new episode.
This show and 24 are my two favorite shows on television. Here is a rundown of events since the premiere.
SPOILERS
Michael Schofield believes his brother Lincoln Burrows to be innocent (and rightfully so) of killing the vice president's brother (it turns out if you watched last night's episode that the vice president's brother is actually alive). Lincoln is getting the death penalty, by electric chair, for this. Michael therefore gets a gun and shoots it in a bank during a staged bank robbery getting himself thrown into the same prison as Lincoln.
What no one knows though, is not only has Michael been doing his homework on the people working and doing time there but he has the blueprints tattooed on his body.
He digs a hole behind cell which leads to access to hallways to the entire prison. He fakes escaping top see how everyone reacts when the actual escape happens.
He fools the doctor who the both crush on but are both trying to ignore that fact into thinking he has diabetes so he can gain access to the infirmary, the weakest security link in the penitentiary system. While there he weakens the material under the grate.
He causes a riot to make time to break a hole in a wall halfway between his cell and the infirmary.
On PI he and other PI members who is forced to have help him, dig a hole between their cells and the infirmary.
However when the actual escape time comes (as seen in yesterday's episode), someone has plugged up the grate to the infirmary so they can't get in therefore the can't get out the window and across the wire to their freedom.
This is a lot more detailed than this and if I think about it more I am pretty sure I left out a lot of details, but this is as much as I can remember without having someone go, huh!

24 spoilers below. Whee! Or maybe I should be more a little more somber.
Kim really pissed me off. I can understand not being ready to have a relationship with Jack, but I didn't buy her reasons to cut ties completely. And someone needs to remind her that being around her father is not the catalyst for bad things happening. I seem to remember a body count piling up in season 2 when her whacky adventures had nothing to do with Jack.
But we might not’ve heard the last of that issue because Martial Law will probably be put into effect and she won't be able to leave the city. I'm irritated at myself for kind of hoping that happens.
The only reason Tony might not be dead is because he's Tony. The guy has healing powers that even Jack envies. Well, had, because I don't think they kicked in this time.
Speaking of that, it's official, I love RoboHenderson. I mean, I hope he suffers horribly for what he's done, but he's a great villain. And he might not even technically be a villain. I really want to know what he knows. I wonder if the writers know.
So the only relevant people left alive from season 1 are Jack, Kim, Novick, Aaron, and I guess Mandy counts (I'm assuming she's still alive). That list is a couple people larger than I thought it would be when I first came up with it Monday night, but it's still rather small.
Oh, and Jack's officially on suicide watch with everything that happened. Not that he'd straight up do it, but it'd be something like how he planned on going down in a blaze of glory at the end of season 1. Dude's a mess.

At the end of 24 last week it was the first time in a long time that I was "(and still am a little) worried about whether or not Jack is dead or alive.
As for my other favorite show Prison Break, tonight is a flashback episode that recounts everything that happened before the pilot. I'm excited.

I also like 24. And even though I don't watch TV as much anymore, I still keep up with what's going on on their online episode guides. But that's not what I wanted to talk about.
I also wanted to talk about the series Mutant X (which I had referred to in another thread as the series Gwen Raiden should have been on). It's basically about a group of genetically altered humans who develop superhuman abilities. The four basic categories of new mutants were ferals, psionics, elementals, and moleculars. Gwen from Angel would be an elemental (and I still think she was kind of a fish out of water in the Buffyverse). Elementals can either channel and project various energies through their bodies, or they can manipulate the elements of nature. Ferals are mutants who've had their DNA spliced with that of an animal. Psionics have abilities like telepathy, telempathy, telekinesis, and/or cyberpathy. Moleculars can have many different abilities ranging from stealth to gravitation to elasticity to chromatics. But you can find out more from Mutant X's official website if you're interested in learning more.
Although the show was cancelled a few years ago, it still remains one of my favorite syndicated shows (next to Xena, Hercules, Earth: Final Conflict, and Beastmaster).
