TV Review: 24 - 3:00pm - 4:00pm

Sort of the opposite of some recent hours - some good action, but not really a lot of movement in the various plotlines. We've apparently switched to the next block of episode plotting, where we swap out what's left of the Bauer family for the Logan family (and maybe the return of the missing Aaron?). Some points:

• When Jack Bauer says "I'm unarmed", that means he is down to 596 different ways to kill you.
• On the other hand, how many times today has Jack said "I'm ready to die"? I'm actually beginning to wonder if Sutherland would be willing to have Jack be killed off this year, especially if the movie rumors have really begun to die down.
• Big warning signs started flashing when Morris was asked if he wanted to talk to "his doctor, his sponsor, ...", and sure enough, we got the lapsed alcoholic plotline. I sincerely hope that was a fifteen-minute plotline, and that we don't have a further return to the Chloe-Morris-Milo triangle - I think we barely dodged a bullet the last time that came up.
• Last year, we had Gregory Itzin doing his best Nixon impersonation - I guess this year it's going to be Saddam?
