Well, I was hoping that Farmer Hogett wasn't evil. Poor Jack. He needs a hug.

Jack needs to go to my room. I can make him forget all about his bad day...

Every time he says "my father" I keep wanting to say that is NOT your father! I think it would have been really funny if they had cast Donald Sutherland in the role of Jack's dad. I half way expected it when they first showed the tall white haired man from the back.

They tried to get him, but couldn't due to scheduling conflicts.

As far as the predictability goes, I kind of see your point, but still I'm always expecting that there will be a twist, so it's almost like "we knew you would think we'd do X, and then you'd think we would do Y, so we did X to trick you!"

That sounds really lame, but I kind of think that at this point, nothing on 24 is predictable, except maybe that Jack will yell a lot and kick ass.

I did not know that. It would have been really funny, albiet distracting after the initial humor wore off. Though I'm not sure how much more distracting then his non-dad dad.

The initial stuff always seems to be predictable on some level. I am thinking there is going to be a huge twist - though perhaps a predictable one (someone in CTU is working for Fayid). Maybe Morris really is a bad guy.

Wasn't Chad Lowe supposed to be on last week? And what happened to Rick(y) Schroder?

You're probably right. If I recall, early mid-season last year was kinda predictable too, then BAM!

Things are not looking good for Milo. I think he might be next to take a dip in the Dead Pool.

I think it would be fun to watch this show with a heart monitor on.

Next week:

Spoiler:

It's Grizzly Logan!

Worse 24 in two plus years. I saw everything coming from who would be the technician(although, I must admit, the picture was a nice touch), to Graem admiting to the "lesser" evil to cover for his father, and I even predicticted about 10 minutes before it happened that his father would kill his brother.

I trust that this isn't a trend though. The show should start to pick-up a little bit, maybe not next week but certainly by the week after.

Still my second favorite show on TV right now....my fave is back Wednesday night

Holy Freakin' Cow. I didn't see that coming.

And you know what I'm still wondering? In the first episode when Jack gets off the plane, the Chinese guy says "your President paid a high price for him". What was the high price, and how will it end up playing into the season?

What didn't you see coming? The reappearance of that guy? Unfortunately, I had heard he would return.

I am nodding my head at the "high price" comment. I've been wondering that too. That's destined to rear its ugly head at some point...
