24 -- Jack's Brother Better Be Afraid, Very Afraid (Wizbang)

Last week we learned that ER jerk surgeon and previous 24 season bad guy is Jack's brother. That was quite a shocker. We also learned that Jack has a son. (Okay, that one is not official yet, but trust me.) The preview on my cable guide says that in tonight's show there will be additional terrorist attacks. Jack better get to work on that brother of his quick before they blow up the whole country. Brother will be lucky if Jack only shoots him in the thigh. I think that lefty loony James Cromwell is supposed to make an appearance as Jack's father. All the 24 action begins at 9:00 p.m. EST.

At 8:00 p.m. EST, my other favorite Fox serial thriller, Prison Break airs. That show never ceases to amaze me. The Vice President's dead brother, who was not really dead, was killed last week. I think he is really dead now. Anyway, since the main character went to prison just to break his brother out who was on death row for killing the VP's brother, I am wondering how the brother is going to be cleared now that the guy he supposedly killed is really dead now. Wow. That was confusing even if you watch the show.

Maybe Buchanan is her husband and I am wrong Greg. I may have missed it. I thought she was having a thing with Buchanan, but assumed she was single until I heard a reference to her husband.

Maybe I didn't listen closely enough, but I got the idea she was being framed--that he had several people lined up with sworn statements (can't spell affadavits), that weren't true, but she wouldn't have time to prove otherwise before hers and Bill's reputations were damaged. I think I need to go to the 24 site and read through the episodes and pick up on the details.

I agree that it has been pretty slow the last couple of hours. It's like the nuclear explosion was the climax of the show, and they're just filling time now. And they're STILL not worried about the fallout!!! They're just running around all over town not paying any attention to it.

In the first few minutes of the episode guide for tonight, it says the bomb blast was in Valencia, just outside Los Angeles, and luckily the wind is blowing the fallout away from populated areas. Well, that's a relief! But it's going SOMEwhere! And what if the wind changes directions?
