Snowy morning catch-up

As I watch the winter's stubbborn refusal to go away, time to finally offer my own thoughts on Monday night's "Heroes" and "24," plus last night's "Gilmore Girls" and "House," all coming up... You fine people

24 open thread 3/2

Again, going to bed early tonight and going out of pocket very early tomorrow, so I'm leaving this post for everyone to discuss the latest "24." I haven't written about the last couple of episodes, so if nothing else this is an excuse for

24: You know the drill

Spoilers for "24" coming up just as soon as I make a run to the hardware store... Always interesting when Fox schedules a "24" two-fer. Usually, it seems done to compensate for a slow episode by following it with a slam-bang one, but this double feature

Heroes & 24: The not-so-big reveal

I'm combining my thoughts on "Heroes" and "24" because both shows did something that's increasingly driving me nuts of late. I'll deal with that up top, then deal with specific spoilers for "Heroes" and then "24"

24: Do sharks have siblings that jump over them?

Belated "24" spoilers coming right up... Let's begin at the obvious love-it-or-hate-it twist: Evil Bluetooth Man, the mastermind behind all of last season's mayhem, is Jack's brother? Um... uh... really? They're going there? Ooookay... This obviously wasn't something

24: Bing, bang, boom

"24" spoilers coming right up... Rest in peace, Curtis Manning. I had you pegged in my "24" Dead Pool almost from the moment you appeared this season. Frankly, I'm stunned you survived this long as Jack's sidekick. At the very least, I

24: Taking a bite out of crime

I feel like I gave most of my thoughts on the first four "24" episodes in my column on Friday, so this is mostly an excuse for people to comment. However, I have to discuss one spoiler-y thing after the jump... Dude! Jack totally bit out some guy&

24: "TELL ME WHY I FEEL SAD!!!!!!!"

"24" review in today's column: "I don't know how to do this anymore." With these eight words, "24" -- that gorgeous, messy, fist-pumping carnival of post-9/11 anxiety -- gives us its most terrifying scenario yet: Jack Bauer, broken man.

24: the last two hours

"24" season finale spoilers ahead, but before we get to analyzing the finale, I thought it might be edifying to do a quick run-through of everything that the characters featured in the above photo have been through since Day 5 began. (I will be mentioning things from the

"TELL ME WHERE MY DAD IS!!!!!!!!!"

A so-so night for the Fox Monday thrillers. Not sure I have anything to say about "Prison Break," which needs to figuratively slap me across the face to get my attention again. It's competent wheel-spinning, but that's all it is right now. "24&

This, that and the other thing

Don't have a lot to say about "24" that David Kronke didn't already point out so sharply (I hadn't even thought about the gas station/martial law plot hole). The reveal that Henderson capped Palmer without Logan's knowledge makes the

President evil?

Um, okay. So I finally got through "24" and... um... now I'm kind of regretting coming back for this season. There are good twists, there are bad twists, and then there are mind-bogglingly wrong-headed, middle finger to the audience, la-la-la-I-can't-hear-your-complaints twists, and making President
