No special awards Aaron.
How about this one: Most perverted White House Personnel goes to Tom Lennox for possibly enjoying the “porn” he was watching.

Jack should lose 50 points for falling for that phonecall trick again. How could he not learn his lesson after what happened last time?
May 19th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
Nadia should lose a few more points for responding to Doyle’s question of “How many casualties?” with “One. Milo Pressman”. I guess she forgot about all the CTU guards that got drilled in the takeover. Either that or maybe she just wasn’t aware of them being killed or even of their existence.
Can’t wait to hear the “assessment” by Division of CTU’s security breach. I’m sure they’ll restore order to CTU. They always fix everything, right? And another “perimeter” set by CTU allows Cheng to escape. Who knew that would happen?

We’re sorely missing Bill’s recapping. With him out last week, everybody had to divide up the recapping. There was Tom, Karen, Nadia, even Jack did his own share of the recapping. And Doyle sure is a slow learner. He realeases Jack (make it look good). He takes Jack into custody. Jack saves his butt. Jack saves everyone’s butt. He takes Josh from Jack cause he’s following orders. He’s almost as helpful as a cyborg sometimes (albeit a Koran readin’ cybord).

Best Run & Shoot Offense - Jack. Nobody fires a weapon as he’s running full speed like Jack.
Philip Bauer should get some points (except he’s not really in the countdown) or at least he deserves an award for “Not Being Afraid of Cheng” and maybe another one for being quick on the draw to call the VP. He must have a great cell phone plan: Family & Friends & Terrorists.

Philip Bauer should have already been added to the Countdown. Quick recap:
- killed own son, Graham (-10)
- but made it look like Jack did it (+5)
- had the nerve to comfort Jack for killing his own brother (+10)
- has been behind everything bad this season (nukes, Graham’s death, etc. etc.)(-20)
- had been behind everything bad last season (killing President Palmer I) but still kept hands clean (+50)
- pulled “ninja disappearing trick” on Jack (-10)
-talked down to Cheng, Jack’s nemesis, like Jack should have (he’s not Jack’s father for nothin’) (+10)
-talked President Boothe into doing what he wanted like Jack talked President Palmer II and his brother to President Logan(+10) (what is it with Jack’s family and talking down to Presidents?)
and i’m sure we can add more….

i was very berry sad when i saw cloe laying there…
Hope shes ok, and if she is THE WRITTERS BETTER NOT FORGET ABOUT NEXT SEASON LIKE THEY DID THIS ONE!

Hey bill,
Thanks for the points on Phillip Bauer. The reason why he, or any other “Bad Guy” hasn’t been added to the Countdown is that they either die too fast or disappear for tons of episodes and then reappear later. It’s just too hard to keep track of all the “Bad Guys,” so I just choose not to add them.
If in the future, on other seasons, people would like to do what you’ve done, I’d be happy to copy and paste it into the original Countdown
Aaron.

My prediction for the last hour: Either Tony (back from the dead) or Chase (with a mechanical wrist) will come and pick up Jack, and they will go off to fight crime together in Australia.
