Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?
Or SpyDaddy. Jack vs. Jack smackdown.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is my cousin. I'm so...proud sounds like I had anything to do with it. But still. Excited. I like my family sometimes. It does good.

I find the thing I'm liking most about 24 this time around is Chloe and the First Lady. They should get together and fight crime before this season is over.

Aren't they cool? I like to bask in the reflected glow sometimes.
I always wonder what gets someone into those places -- CDC appointments, MP, ambassador, anti-war protest lead...it's so much something I don't have. Sure, I'm lazy and unambitious, but I'm also much more about the little things. I love teaching people how to defend themselves, how to feel physically confident. One person at a time.

Your cousin sounds amazingly talented and well rounded. Not just a prestigeous doctor, but also an artist and a mentor? Wow!

24: I like the first lady, but I'm not sure exactly what she hopes to accomplish, other than proving that she's not insane. CTU, at this point, has already made the connection between Palmer's assassination and the terrorist attack, and it didn't sound like she had any information beyond that.

But she doesn't know that. Her actions seem perfectly reasonable--I wonder what the writers are trying to accomplish. Probably to put her in jeopardy. I like her, though. She rocks. Her assistant seems familiar--where's she from?

Yes, that's what I meant -- her storyline feels like a dead end right now.
Like last year, I feel like the whole thing is moving way too fast to sustain an entire season, but last year surprised me (in a good way), so I'm enjoying it so far.

And how messed up is she that she can't remember the relevant details from talking to Palmer AND reading the transcript?
