Monday... 24... Ep. 6-10... "3:00 PM-4:00 PM"

Family members are just so easy.

Jack's dad, "Dad" has who is possibly Jack's son "Josh", but is also Marilyn's son and maybe Graem's son, who is Jack's brother and of course, Jack's father's son. Jack's mom is nowhere to be found. I wonder what Jack's father's mother thinks of all this; She didn't raise no fool.

Usually kids act really calm or really scared. Josh is somewhere in between. It's as if his notes were "act as if you don't know what's going on, but you just want to go play video games."

Meanwhile, Morris goes from wanting to do his job to freaking out about being the cause of more bombs to binge "drinking" (I didn't metabolize!). Then all of a sudden. he's completely fine. Let him go back to work, it's the best medicine. I wonder where his Red Bull went. Combine those with Altoids? Oh boy. Good thing Chloe will keep her eye on him. As will Milo. You can count on some interesting banter from those two!

Milo (CTU is full of cat-like names) got shot and looks almost worse than Morris, and he got a drill through the arm plus a bit of water torture. Plus, Morris has that cool bald head and you can see the big bruise. I think it's obvious who the bigger man is. Damn right, it's Chloe.

President Principal Robin Wood is about to be kiiiilllled! Where's Buffy when you need her?

John Cage (I mean Tom Lennox!) took a nasty gun to the head and doesn't look any worse for wear, besides being passed out cold, of course. Should have seen it coming, Rob Lowe's brother should never be trusted. But if that area was so safe for those two to talk in, how come he was able to hear Lennox make that phone call? It's not like he was across an open room like Josh was when he heard Daddy threaten Marilyn. Which is rule number one in holding a hostage, always go at least two rooms away! I guess he could have kept the door open, although I thought I saw Tom open it.

I like how they give Jack a nice long speech and zoom the camera in rreeeeaaallly close, and we're NOT supposed to expect Daddy to run away. I'm surprised that phone Jack found wasn't accompanied by a "I love you, son" note.

Ok, so who left the phone? Was it Logan himself? No, couldn't be. I don't know if Daddy would have left it, he could have just told him. At least Marilyn got away with Josh, but not before a nice moment with Jack that could have used some harp music. Aw, she touches his face, and he touches her hand with HIS MUTANT HAND! It's nice she is so quick to forgive him throwing her against the wall and choking her. He's got the balls (and the smarts) Graem never had. Love is in the air.
