I gotta say, I do support McCain, because I think he's a man of integrity, but if the situations in 24 came to fruition, I'd support Bauer 100%. Augie,

Yee-hah!" :) Pure speculation here... 1) Is the guy in charge of the terrorists still in charge? Or did he get double-crossed as well? 2) If this guy is still in charge, anyone want to place a bet that he'll be dealing with the Bauer situation by placing a call to the Chinese Embassy?

I believe McCain was against even that. And, hey! Wound To The Eye Motif on 24! COOLNESS! Arune - nah, even the ticking time bomb scenario is discredited by the true peaceniks these days.

I remember some senator actually referencing 24.

Nothing like seeing Jack almost plucking out the eye of the Chief of Staff right in front of the President and not listening to a word he said. I am the President STOP! Would anyone ever listen to that driveling moron! Arune - Knowing Jack’s luck with woman it has to happen.

How I missed thee. I liked that Cummings isn't some uber, over the top villain. I wished they'd explored the motives of the terrorists last year, but it would've pissed off too many people, so I'm glad to see real motivation this year. Still, the Computer Nerd Superboss guy has a larger story, I'm sure, and he'll somehow figure into the rest of the series. I look at Mike and keep seeing Cheney. It's weird. There are a lot of nice continuity nods this season. And who thinks Audrey is dead by season's end? Ah, Jack Bauer Torture Hour. How I missed thee.

And no matter how much I try whenever I see Novak-I always picture him beating the crap outta Bruce Willis in Sin City. Pretty good episode.
