Two of my favorite shows on television are now on the same night. Prison Break returns to join "24" on Monday nights on Fox. If you have not watched Prison Break before, you might want to see about renting the first season on DVD. I can't imagine catching up on that one without seeing the earlier episodes. It is a great show, but you have to suspend disbelief in a big way to enjoy it. Wentworth Miller's character, with the coolest tattoo on earth, is really compelling and the plot twists are every bit as exciting and unexpected as those on "24."
Consider this your "24" open discussion thread. Last Monday night was sad because Jack had to shoot Curtis. (I don't know why he couldn't just shoot him in the thigh.) It wasn't unexpected though. I figured something had to happen to Curtis before Ricky Schroder could come on board, but it was sad just the same. As if shooting Curtis wasn't sad enough, a nuclear bomb detonated before CTU could locate it, so I am sure we will hear some pretty nasty body counts tonight. If the intel gained from the detention facility is correct, there are four more bombs out there to find. And there is no time! Poor Jack is battered, physically and emotionally, but there is no doubt that he will step up when his country needs him. Anyone have any guesses about where those other bombs might be located? They can't be too far away or much of the 24 hours will be eaten by travel time. I look forward to reading your comments tonight.
Jay Tea adds: Of course, the REALLY cool kids will be watching "How I Met Your Mother" and "Heroes" tonight.
Jack who?

The more I ponder it, the more I am dissatisfied with new President (wasn't he discredited with his philandering and covering up murder?--he's not a rock solid actor like the other Palmer character), the gerbil character who plays FBI director, and the killing of Curtis. Godsakes, Curtis has been rock solid and is the special ops. guy for all of CTU, but he has an emotional break down and kills some guy cooperating to save the country.
I think the writers need to slow down and apply a bit more of a rigorous analysis to their plot development.
Doesn't mean I ain't watchin' tonight, just means I want it to be . . .Rock Solid, dammit.

Lorie, I think Jack had to aim for the head because of the way Curtis was holding the hostage in front of him.
I still can't get over the fact that Jack isn't even suffering from jet lag after the flight from China!

Jack shoots the Rock Solid Curtis in the thigh, & Curtis returns fire to Jack's head. Nobody shoots to wound, not since John Wayne died. The ACLU's freeing terrorists has taught us all a lesson.

Interrupt the central nervous system or he shoots the 'converted' terrorist - whom Jack is trying to save.

shooting inside the shoulder inhibits the brachial nerve running down the arm that controls the trigger finger. hit that and no impulse to pull the trigger. Jack hit that nerve saving the terrorist, but believably hit an artery too. Curtis bleeds out.

Some, but not too many 24isms this week.
For example, how did CTU know the engineer died in the explosion, especially in light of their not knowing if Fayed was killed or not? In fact, how did CTU even know the engineer was there, as CTU showed up in response to Skyhighkid giving them the address where his dad went and not because they knew the engineer, Fayed or the bombs were there?
And why did Fayed take off with the other four 'visitors'? He didn't know a raid was in the works, as he would have taken the engineer and the all-important device with him. And if he was running an errand, why take the other four with him? Why not leave them with the engineer for preprogramming?

Speaking of Heroes, did you know that the guy who plays the politician (Adrian Pasdar) is the real life husband of that idiot Dixie Chick Natalie Maines? How did that moron score such a hot guy? Mind boggling.
Okay sorry to interrupt. Can you tell I don't watch 24? lol.

Best line of the night by Jack's brother..."Jack, you never just walk into a room and get along, do you?". Does that sum up Jack's life or what?

I think it is obvious that jacks "nephew" is actually his son. The first discussion was about jack banging his sister in law, and then in comes a kid who is CLEARLY more than 9 years old (last time jack talked to his father) and who has the same haircut keifer had in "lost boys."
However, that conflicts with the previously pristine marriage jack had prior to nina's interferrence that occured in the first season, and the fact that jack had been married long enough to have a daughter kim's age.
But yeah, it's clearly jacks kid in my bean.
Also, If jack has to kill his father? I SO WISH IT WAS ACTUALLY HIS FATHER! I can totaly buy Donald as a traitor.

Who is the chick that plays the sister in law? I recognize her, but I don't remember her looking so hot.
The guy who plays the chief of staff had my favorite line "Admiral! the president is talking." ABoUT time there was a SMALL bit of reality involved, though it's a small one. Also he was the guy from "dragon slayer" one of my favorite bad fantasy movies. (also the sister in law looks like the girl who acted like a boy in that movie now that I think of it)
And the guy who plays the brother is prolly better known as the jerky surgeon who did surgery on his own dog in the OR during the TV series "ER."
Theres a lot of familiar faces, like I can't remember where I recognize the sister of the president from. I think she was Doughboys girlfriend in "boys in the hood" also I think she was the crazy neighbor from "Boomerang" but I can't pinpoint it.

I remember Jack's brother as "The Creeper" on Hill Street Blues......about the time he also was a deputy gobbled up in the remake of the "Blob". Why is this information stuck in the rom in my head, but I forgot to get my wife flowers like I promised earlier today?

The one thing I noticed was the fact that cell phones, cars, etc still worked after the nuke. The electromagnetic pulse would have had an effect on electrial objects for at least a few miles from the blast even if the nuke is a small one. I freely admit I dont know what the radius of the EMP would be from a 1KT nuke though.

A good episode, that seemed to only last 30mins.
So Jack's Dad is also the creator of Warp Drive from Star Trek: First Contact. Jaw dropping when we found that last year's mysterious baddie is Jack's brother. Heck, not only did he turn Jack into the Chinese last year, but he was apparently behind the plot to frame Jack for Palmer's assassination. Figure Jack's dad will be a good guy and help Jack save the day, why: because it appeared Jack's brother had the Dad's house under surveillance. No reason for it, if they were on the same side; also him disappearing with no phone, etc. seems like he didn't want to be found.
Curious, after a nuke blast the highways were flooded with people trying to get out yet Jack, Jack's brother, the slimey tech for hire middle man, and the terrorists didn't seem to have a problem getting around town in cars.

Jack's sister in law is played by Rena Sofer, she was on Loving as Rocky and General Hospital as Lois, married to Ned Ashton for years and a few other things. Here is her IMDb page. She's been on Just Shoot Me, Ed, Melrose Place, and more.
