Is it available on CD?

That was my favorite piece as well. And that's a cool bit of trivia.

You're Ralph Bakshi aren't you? That or his mother.

The Score
The only redeemable thing in this movie is Leonard Rosenman's score. I had the soundtrack way back in the day and it is quite good.

"We do not deal with terrorists!"
Having to hear another cliche speech about how awesome America is and that is the light that leads the way to the rest of the world but then was so nicely undercut by the immediate plans of sedition was just lovely.

It's nice when the villains plans aren't all fire and brimstone but slow and cold instead.

CTU Not the Best and the Brightest
Escaped kidnapped victim is barreling across the city in a stolen limo and their reaction is to give her directions to CTU and not have the nearest available police officers intercept her.

Apparently NBC doesn't think 24 is a dried up wasteland of plot cliches as they've been showing interest in picking up the series if Fox drops after this season. I'm not sure what moron they have running things over at NBC but he needs to be sacked and sacked fast.

His persistence about getting his man would only work if he was a Mountie.

The brain scan thing is verging into the magical science of shows like "Bones."

I love Stephen but still had to fast forward every time this subplot reared it's head.

There are four lights!
David Warner is too awesome for words. Nice that he and Mark Lenard got to play so many different parts in the Trek Verse.

Failed perimeter anyone?
The episode ends with Jack ordering a perimeter around Tarin's hotel and in 24 speak that means they may as well just order him a cab.

Alex Rousseau
So in the flash-sideways she isn't Ben's daughter? How does that work?

Marcos escaped because even with Jack around CTU still hasn't figured out what a perimeter is.

I wonder if their torture room is used more often than their break room.

As this looks to be the last season of 24 there is a good chance she may actually survive.

Yeah, it would have better if a CTU security just surrounded them as they tried to leave the building. The tasering kind of ruined a cool moment.

I want an episode where Kim is menaced by hot older woman.

Highway to Heaven
Who here wouldn't watch a remake of "Highway to Heaven" series that stars Misha Collins as Cass?
