    So this week's South Park is a 24 parody. And it's hilarious.

    it's so awesome. And it was so on point... "Within the hour", everybody had the CTU ring, Cartman whispering in a loud voice for dramatic effect like Jack, split screens, Cartman torturing people, it was one of the best SP of all time. So damn awesome. It's a Fanboys Wet Dream, too of the greatest Shows combined! ;) Now only Jack has to do a Wegdie on Chloe next time to return the favour :)
    Just saw it on rerun last night, and it was indeed awesome. My favorite parts were the stuff with Kyle helping Cartman on the computer. "YouTube was a bust. Hang on, let me cross reference his Myspace page with his e-Harmony account!" I was cracking up so hard with all that. And then even better, when the suits start coming in and his "division" keeps getting taken over by one beaurocracy after another. So hilarious, yet so true to the show.

    "Try looking up his blog on Ask Jeeves."
    "Dude, no one uses Ask Jeeves anymore, just Google it!"
    "Now you listen to me, I'M in charge here!"
    ".... um... not any more, you're not."

    Then the guy walks away dejected and defeated. I almost woke my wife up laughing at that.
    You forgot right after the guy says, "Oh snap."

    Funniest South Park this season.

    "I'm in charge from now on."
    "Not anymore, you're not. I'm from the FBI, I'll be taking over this operation."
    "Not anymore, you're not. I'm from the ATH, I'll be in charge now."
    "Not anymore, you're not..."

    I guess the logic of it is that he wants to head any more attacks at his presidency off at the pass by doing what everyone wants. But still, that took me by surprise.

    Agreed from the previews, it looking like he is trying to more aggressive in his policy to strongarm a response out of others. I'd be surprised if he actually went forward with the bomb hitting

    Oh, sure,
    launch nukes at the Middle East to secure your Presidency. That's logical

    In real life, a launch is a declaration of war. You can't use an actual launch as a strongarm tactic. You can use the threat of launch that way. Not a launch itself.

    By all means, I understand. I'm just stating what I think is going on in 24 world. I'd imagine the president is starting to become a little unhinged, considering they have been dealing with these attacks for weeks. Still not an excuse... I think the instant attitude flip was still a little exaggerated.

    Regarding the overall quality of the season, I am still not sure where I stand. With the exception of the very end, I thought this was a pretty decent episode. Last week's was outrageously dumb, even for 24 world.

    That said, I thought the opening for this season was so well written, so I haven't lost total faith. The opening of the season with real terror attacks orchestrated all over the country just felt so gritty.

    on kredenko:
    why would kredenko give away his only hope to survive? did anyone get that? Why did he try to run alone after getting his arm cut? that was just plain stupid.

    Because he probably figured Fayed (sp?) would kill him. It really was goddamn stupid though.

    So Logan = Bush

    New VP = Cheney?

    I am glad that I am not the only one that noticed that.

    I am pretty sure Logan at least last season was a charicature of Nixon. He used some quotes, had teh same mannurisms, looked like him, and was extremely paranoid like Nixon was.

    Hahahahaha.

    So I was just thinking, 2 minutes before the end, this is probably the best episode all season because it wasn't fucking bullshit and OMG PlOT TWIST just for the sake of it writing.

    Then that ending comes along.

    Picture me laughing my ass off just at the sheer stupidity and retardedness of it.

    I hate to use this term so very very much, but this episode didn't just jump over a shark, it did a double backflip over it through a ring of fire.

    I loved how Jack was all "Field agent guy get over here, I'm pinned down" and then within 20 seconds had killed half the terrorists, including one "show me your head, show me your head - BOOM HEADSHOT" moment. No one can stop this man.
    So would I be right in assuming that Fayid is now captured, and Gredenko is dead? Whos the bad guy? Is the secret plot-twist that the bad guy is the president? He does have a goatee beard.. so being evil would fit..

    And yes incredibly random ending. Even Tom Lennox was all "wtf president, ridiculous character transformation!".

    well, remember that whole conspiracy to kill the president? theres that group of people. Also, didn't jack's dad just kinda vanish from the plot? maybe he will turn up again.

    I was hoping Jacks dad would turn up in this episode. Last we saw of him he was looking for gredenko, and now Jack had him - would have made sense for him to turn up... no doubt he will appear in some crazy ass last 5 seconds plot twist, being accompanied by Zombie David Palmer who tells Wayne not to be an ass, and everyone has a happy ending.

    Has 24 ever had a happy ending...

    Season 1 had an alternate happy ending and that was about it.

    Show me your HEADSHOT was a pretty awesome 24 moment. Definitely the peak of the episode :lol:

    The only explanation for the end I have is that the pressure on his brain is building or some sort of brain damage is leading Palmer to go crazy. Even if that's the case, its pretty stupid.

    You don't bluff by launching a nuclear weapon.
    Having said that there's a spoiler lurking around that is supposed to be the apparent "last line" from this season. It's apparently:
    "...Get in, Jack. There's a lot I have to tell you" (said by someone whose identity supposedly shocks the hell out of Jack)

    Maybe the bomb is filled with balloons and cake. You know, Wayne never said it was a nuke, if I remember correctly. It was Tom and Karen that said nuke. ;)
