[...] An insufferably long, extraordinarily boring summary written by yours truly can be found here. A sample: Back at CTU, Barry is making no progress with Chloe who is still a basket case. In a move sure to endear him to Porn Star Kimmy, Jack informs the shrink that THERE’S NO TIME for the rather clinical way the Clinical Psychologist is working with Chloe. To prove his point, he applies the Jack Bauer Death Grip to Barry’s throat which seems to wake Chloe out of her stupor. [...]

With my trusty tin foil hat on, I found a way for the writers to trot out the real “Kim is in danger” storyline. As Henderson kept making a point of telling Jack how he watched out for Kim, it makes sense that Kim’s new boyfriend is actually working for Henderson. Keep in mind that Kim and Barry are catching a plane to attend a “conference.”

Now, remember how Bierko said something like “we need to make them think this is our primary target”? Neither the mall, hospital, nor CTU are such giant targets that anybody would seriously think they were “primary,” since Bierko still has over a dozen canisters left, and has yet to hit a stadium. What Bierko is doing is tricking everyone into thinking _LA_ is the primary target. While martial law locks down LA, Bierko will transport all of the canisters to another city.

And guess how Bierko will transport the canisters? On Kim’s plane to the “conference.” I don’t know if Kim said where they were heading, but D.C. makes sense (since it will take long enough to run to the end of the season).

Admittedly, Kim’s involvement is a stretch. But I’m convinced Bierko is leaving LA.

So many disturbing things happened this last hour that I am at a lost to fully express my sadness.
Regarding my daughter Kim, I would like to charge Barry for Kim’s coldness but I truly can’t. Kim has many things missing from her makeup that I should of seen many years ago. Actually I believe that I did see in Kim things that I felt were not quite right, certainly her mom tried to talk to me about her unease in the way Kim was developing in her social behavior or lack of them. I do feel responsible that I didn’t deal directly with it, I held out hope that she would right herself. I now know that this doesn’t happen all by itself. It is probably a foolish hope that her therapist can effect a change in Kim. I don’t know if her mom’s and my parenting was responsible for her lack of compassion and other failings that I saw in her. However it came about I now see that Kim has never had compassion for others and her dull response to critical events truly worries me. I can not deal with this right now nor will Kim want me to. With Tony’s death I am afraid that I too have gone numb.

I think it is odd that right after the doctor said Henderson’s nervous was shut down, that he was able to wake up and escape. It makes me wonder if the doctor was not really injecting him with “truth serum.” I wonder if he was faking the whole time.

Speaking of commercials, when I was putting the shows on DVD for my hubby and his buds in Afghanistan, I painfully sat there and made sure all the commercials were cut out. His buddy said he was in love with me; cause the commercials were the worst. I’ve stopped spending my Sunday’s copying them and cutting out the commercials now - they got straight to the DVD, commercials and all. Guess my new love is gone Kim and Chloe are left. Can we get rid of Kim now?

I was Socrates who wrote Oedipus, not Sophecles. Sorry to be so picky.

You’re right about the commercials Sue, but that does make it that much more amazing at how much they can cram in around them!

I gotta admit too, it was fairly weird to see former President Palmer in the “Unit” last week (and tonight, great show so far) and also pitching Allstate insurance in the ads on same.

i’ve realized one of the reasons the show has at times seemed to be slow is all the %$#@ commercials!!! that’s happening more and more often in television and because i don’t have tivo i have to deal with them. am i right in my observation???

i also realize i was in denial about the show killing off tony. i knew deep down inside that it would be him. i’m sorry that it is so. i thought that jack’s holding tony while he died was a powerful moment. and i thought kim was nothing but a total brat, breakdown and suicidal thoughts no excuse. glad she’s gone.

instead of killing off jack i would want them to do one more season at least and do the jason bourne thing. it’s the next logical step. it drives me crazy that he has to continually prove himself and his motives to people who should have every reason to believe in him. he’s not that hard to understand. i don’t see him as a true tragic figure. he is more done to rather than doing himself in, which is what real tragedy is. he’s not destroying himself, others are trying to do that for him.

chloe was cooking last night with the one liners. i loved it when she said, “ok, i’ll get back to work,” snapping out of her stupor.
go, chloe!!!behind every good man there’s a good woman, eh?
