ANDY EDELSTEIN: 2+4 THOUGHTS ON '24'

Random thoughts on Monday night’s episode

OK, we’ll give props to the “24” honchos for making a mentally challenged character a hero... and for the writers not squandering their goodwill by having the young man get shot by one of Gridenko’s henchmen.

Gee, Wayne Palmer sure looked chipper after being roused from his medically induced coma. I’ve seen guys come back from two weeks at Club Med looking worse.

Best line of the night: Gridenko to Jack: “I am not martyr. I am soldier.” Boris Badenov sounded more convincing.

Did we really have to see Milo and Nadia suck face? Milo (who is probably not a mole after all, darn it) was also responsible for the second best line of the night: “Maybe this (CTU headquarters) isn’t the best place to start a relationship.”

Will they ever explain just what the heck Doyle did in Denver to piss off so many CTU operatives?

What did you think of the episode? Shoot me a message.

The writing this year has gotten really sloppy on 24. This is the first year where i am not at the "edge of my seat". I also find myself knit-picking a plausability of the plots (that is a first for me).

I wish Wayne Palmer had used a speaker phone....

rainman saves the day how many tooth picks?

the writters focus is different this year. I was expecting the torture and the superhero stuff yet again. The pure personal drama is ok but that really isnt what 24 is all about, now is it.
