Frank,

Something makes me think The FLOTUS aide and daughter lived. I saw those episodes, but disremember what happened or why I think that, except that it seemed to me Christopher was disinclined to hurt them, and more inclined to just use them to get what he wanted and terrify them if need be. Re McHottie, I remember he and the bank manager were with Jack at the bank, when Jack got the recording out, and I seem to recall him being at the airport one of the times with Jack, and that he had a gun, but I can't remember for the life of me, if we knew his fate. Too much happens for me to keep track, and I never watch more than once.

I'm a little miffed that we didn't see any more about Not!Dr.Romano and the big guys working with Logan.

I wonder if they'll come into play next season.

Cindy -- I think so because ultimately, Not!Romano must have been working for the Chinese.

Oh, and on ALIAS, much as I enjoy seeing Amy Acker be all badass with the machine guns, given past history of how Sloane deals with business associates, wouldn't the ultra-seekrit, sooper-duper-powerful crime syndicate check for weapons, especially if Sloane a) called the meeting and b) then sent a minion in his place? I know, I know, it's ALIAS, but that was beyond the call of stupidity.

Bleargh. Am back from F2F. Have skipped 500+ posts.

Have read whitefont. Have not watched shows. Am spoiled! Whee!!!

When come back, bring pronouns.

Ah, but Frank, you underestimate the super duper magic briefcase the weapons were in!

I'm sitting here doing some cleaning out of my computer -- emails and stuff. I should be cleaning out my apartment, but both things have to get done eventually, right?

Re 24 - please, please, PLEASE let Fury stay onboard 24, because I know he won't pass up the opportunity to use a helicoptor to take out Paul McCrane when the time comes, and you know it will.

24

Frank, who is Paul McCrane?

sumi, you think not!Romano is working for the Chinese? I never got that impression. I thought Logan was backed by some sort of hyper-neocon group of American puppet masters who were for a much stronger defense, etc. and were trying to make America look more at risk than it is. That said, I do think Logan et al are the ones who let the Chinese know where Jack was going to be. In that sense, I do think they cooperated with the Chinese, to get Jack out of the picture.

There are people talking about their personal experiences with nailgun accidents in the hall. They are IT staff.

There may be a lesson in there somewhere.

OMG I don't want to be here at work.

Cindy -- even if Not!Romano isn't a lackey of the Chinese -- he's certainly forwarding their agenda. Why else was Jack Bauer on the hit list? Did you think that was coincidental? (Always a possibility.)

Frank! Yes! It would be so right if Not!Romano were killed by a falling black helicopter.
