Been watching some "24". First couple of seasons.

Was good then, not great. What I like are the obvious political angles that played into the show. Obama is basically David Palmer. That's the role he's playing. You could have taken Haysbert's scenes from the first season and told people it was a dramatization of the Obama presidency and people would believe it.

Jack Bauer is basically a personification of Uncle Sam in the early 2000s, going around kicking everbody's ass. And he should do that because he's the good guy and there's a bomb, the prez is going to die and we have to invade a bunch of countries! I don't know what went on behind the scenes on the production, but obviously someone was in the know.

Amazing how much reach these terrorist groups have. You have a couple of "patriots" and they're able to gain access to an FBI style facility and bomb it like it was just another days work.

Apparently you can just hire some guys abroad to kill the President. Send them a couple of million and they'll take care of that, no problem. You want fries with that? Or at least that's what the Secret Service believes and they're pretty certain of it.

It's funny how they have to give Cuthbert something to do in the second season and they just have her running into one improbable incident after the other. First she happens to be the babysitter of a control freak who kills his wife and they have this huge back and forth throughout the city. Of course Jack Bauer is involved and big time government agents, police, you name it, trying to locate her, but they all fail. When the kid goes missing she immediately falls into the prey of some pedophile killers that happen to stand right there on the street. Next she is arrested for murder that the other guy committed, but she gets out of that, and then she arrives at a store where the sleazy owner of course contemplates raping her right then and there, and while that is going on there is an illegal immigrant hammering on the doors and he ends up killing the guy and taking Cuthbert hostage. She escapes, runs into the woods and the first guy she meets, Matt Dillon's brother, is some crazy loner who concocts a tale about nuclear armageddon in the hope that she will become his girlfriend. And there's stil a handful of episodes left!

Axl: Dylan, I wrote this song so you know how I felt about your mother.

Dylan: I can relate to that.

If you took 100 million in 100 dollar bills and counted it by hand, doing 16 hour shifts, it would take you 3 months.

Axl should write a song about that, or other similar problems he might be having.

She gave us Beta!
