Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Billytea, I don't think it's much of a spoiler to say
I think it's safe to say that any conversation that starts with "I reckon Jack Bauer's probably lost more than one lover because he insists on changing the safe word on a nightly basis" is not going to generate any commentary on events on the show worth taking seriously, be they past or future.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Actually, I could riff off it in a spoilery way, and reasonably seriously, but what's the point?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Anybody watching Dateline NBC? They just showed things in New Orleans that are alright. I was good-crying. Don't miss it.
I wonder how many families are being permanently destroyed by the "Get on the bus and shut up, you'll find out where you're going later" policy. How are people going to find each other? I doubt people too poor to have a way out of a critcally ill city have cell phones with free long distance.
Well, this IS something that can be repaired pretty quickly. Airlines have been hooking people up with flights and there are ways to donate miles. Phone companies have been passing out lots of calling cards. Once a database of who is where is up and running it should be pretty smooth to reunite famalies.

I don't know that I'd be capable of a serious conversation about 24. Funniest damn show on television, now Coupling's off the air.

At least one of the themes generated some heat in discussion, IIRC. But that doesn't mean the show was being that thoughtful about them.

I did see. It sounds like their disaster planning was pretty effective. I feel kind of funny about it. I mean, I'm glad the zoo got through it so well, but it does serve to highlight how poor the human-directed preparations were, and how empty the 'we didn't expect it' excuse is.
Well, they knew no one was coming for them and planned accordingly. They also happened to be on pretty high ground.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I reckon Jack Bauer has the most vanilla of sex.
I think he's impotent.
Also, I'm watching the marathon on A&E. Can I send Howard Gordon my medical bills for the concussion I've sustained thanks to the giant freaking anvils he's been dropping on my head all day?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
