Watching 24

Sorry this one is a bit short. Like I said in my review this episode was pretty much all leading up to the fourth one. So, most of the episode was Assad in the car with the other terrorist.

President Wayne Palmer (69)
-Didn’t tell Fayed where to shove his demands (-7)
-Actually, for some insane reason loaded a bunch of terrorist prisoners on buses to fly them out of the country for Fayed (-15)
-Because of his decision the World’s Largest Lower Lipped Nuclear Terrorist is now on the loose (-19)

-To catch up with a Terrorist (+5)

-Acted like a total racist (+1)

Just a note to all those that like this feature: I’m still working out the bugs and it’s been a busy couple of days with this whole 4 hour premiere insaneness that FOX does, so I promise that in a couple of weeks I’ll have everything in order. Sorry, if I haven’t included some of the characters you’d like. I’ve tried to do all the MAIN people that I think will be around for a while.

If you have any suggestions on how to make this better feel free to say so in the comments. I for one love doing it, but always am open to suggestions.

Also, stay tuned for Episode 4 Character Countdown coming soon…Like tonight.
