At the "24" website, there is a poll up asking viewers:
Do you think Jack's dad Phillip is a bad guy?I don't know whether he is or not. What I want to know is whether or not I am the only person unfamiliar with that particular spelling of Jack's brother's name.
- Yes, he's in cahoots with Graem and faking.
- No, he didn't know what Graem was up to.
Program note: Next week (Feb. 12) there are two back-to-back (they call them "Jack-to-Jack") episodes.
Update: Did anyone else find the following line from next week's preview of "24" really disturbing?
President Palmer: "Just one more nuke goes off, we're talkin' about war."What? Just one more nuke? Maybe the evil Vice President does need to step up and take out Palmer. I guess I will withhold judgment until next week. Maybe the line was completely out of context, but it was pretty amazing as a stand alone.

The more I read about this season of "24", the more I am thinking they are all watching "Prison Break".
After all, wasn't one of the primary stary arcs of the first half of this season about the role of Philip & Michael's CIA Dad & whether or not he was a Good Guy or a Bad Guy?

I am watching Prison Break and this has to be one of my favorite episodes. I loved the diner scene. That was cool. I loved when Sara tried to kill Kellerman and even liked the fact that they let Sara and Michael kiss. I don't like the mushy stuff when Jack Bauer does it, but for some reason it does't bother me on Prison Break.

I thought that Morris plotline seemed familiar. "24" reminds me of Murder She Wrote. On MSW, someone near Jessica Fletcher always wound up dead. On "24" anything that can go wrong in anyone's life picks that one day to do it.

kimsch,
I knew it was you and thought the name didn't look quite right, but didn't realize it was because your "h" was missing.
When I was a little girl my mom took me to see Tony Orlando and Dawn in concert. The tv show was really popular back then and one of his sidekicks, half of "Dawn," was Telma Hopkins. I remember her saying that it should have been Thelma, but when she was born her mom said to get the "h" out of there. I never forgot that for some reason. I am glad your "h" is back. I am sorry I left it out too.

Hopefully they will get prints off the IV, the syringe and use some super glue to get prints off Graem's face. Spelling his name that way makes his nickname of Gray a little logical...

A good episode, however, I saw the Morris's brother angle was a trick from the start and figured that Jack's Dad would kill Graem. Between Graem and his father, who would have thought that Jack was the gentle one in his family? Did Graem really think he was going to confess to killing a former President, multiple other people and by extension having a hand in the terrorists attacks of last season and he would get out of prison in the future. Also, how incredibly stupid is President 'I'm not my brother' a nuke went off a couple of hours ago other multiple terrorist attacks have happened and he calls a cabinet meeting to announce he isn't going to do anything! Fine if you don't want to go with the executive order, don't do it; but don't take everyone away from their jobs just to give a speech and keep the status quo.
