It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

jon - I thought that Jack was on Logan's hitlist BEFORE the assassination of Palmer. Why was he on it then?

sumi: I think Jack was on Logan's hitlist before, because they just needed someone to pin David Palmer's assassination on; they needed to get off of China's shitlist for the incident the year before; and because Christopher *knew* Jack wasn't really dead, knew Jack would be a threat because he's a super agent and, because Christopher had a grudge against Jack. Then later, it became more personal for Logan where Jack was concerned, because Jack got so close to the truth, and because they know how dogged he is.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Just heard on the radio: RIP, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen.

Oh, that makes me sad. I know he's lived a good, long life, but still...

The evil is this way?

Paul McCrane played Dr. Romano on ER, and is now on 24, apparently.

Romano, a surgeon, lost an arm when he stepped too close to a helicopter blade. There was much angst because the arm was not reattached sucessfully and he could not be a surgeon with the replacement mechanical arm. Then Dr. Romano was killed when a helicopter collided with an airplane (?) during take-off or landing or something. The helicopter fell on him in the hospital ambulance bay. I kid you not. The show not only jumped the shark it did a whole "Jaws 4" (where the shark was stalking the characters) homage.

I think that all of McCrane's characters should be killed by vengeful helicopters.

They need to go back to Fame and kill off Montgomery the same way.

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

I thought the death of Romano was a brilliant move, not just because he'd just fired someone. The fired guy never told anyone he was fired, and just kept right on working. Plus, an asshole like Romano needed something supremely stupid to happen to him.

The show's picked up a bit, last season and this.

Who was it he fired, anyway?

I laughed and laughed and laughed when that happened.
