See!! I have other interests than 24 :) Ok, a few TV shows to comment on...beginning with Heroes :)
I finally finished my taped episode and absolutely loved it!! So heartbreaking to see that Hiro couldn't save Charlie. Those two were meant to be together!! I hope they find a way to bring her back...but I'm glad it wasn't the usual predictable ending...it made it more realistic...like 24! As for who will kick the bucket next week...I have no idea. There are just too many choices...but I think I'd like the cheerleader to go. She's becoming slightly irritating though with the theme of "Save the cheerleader, save the world" I doubt she's going anywhere. The person I DON'T want killed is Eden...I really like her power to persuade people. When she said doughnuts, I wanted doughnuts!! *giggles*
Then I watched House on Tuesday night to see who would betray House. For some reason, I thought it would be Wilson. I don't know why...I love the guy. He's so lovable and warm and sweet!! Perfect guy to handle cancer patients. I know this is bad but I really agree with the cop about House. Not his methods but the point he's making: House needs to get his addiction under control and the others are just covering for him. His smart alec comments are amusing but everyone should be accountable to someone...and he answers to no one. Now the cop is going about it the wrong way but his basic point I do agree with. Oh, the scenes between Cuddy and Wilson were so adorable...I can see why she was thinking of him as a sperm doner. It's nice to see two nice people finding a connection, especially after House lashed out at her like that. We shall see what happens with Wilson's betrayal...I hope it doesn't cause too much of a rift.
CSI: Miami was the last show on my list to review and it was pretty good. The military theme captured my attention since my dad was in for twenty years. I liked how they showed all sides of the issue...even though it was painful to see how these recruiters talk to the young kids. I hope it's not like that in real life. I liked how Horatio was not going to back down till he found who had really killed the soldier. Natalia's little jealous streak was amusing and again I wanted more Alex. It was heartbreaking to see her examine the dead body in the lab...I so could not do that job. There's a rerun of CSI tonight that I don't think I've seen but I might see Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl instead. Not decided yet :)

So before I sign out, I'll leave you with another news story about our favorite couple :) This was published before Season Five began but was a fortaste of what was to come. The writer has good instincts. *wink*
'24' gets almost that many new faces
By Joanne Weintraub Milwaukee Journal Sentinel TV critic
When the speeding train that is Fox's "24" returns next month, more than a dozen new passengers will be on board or waiting somewhere down the line.
Among them are Sean Astin, Jean Smart, Connie Britton, Jayne Atkinson, Thomas Kretschmann, Peter Weller, Brady Corbet, JoBeth Williams and Julian Sands.
The returnees, I'm happy to report, include CTU intelligence specialists Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and Edgar (Louis Lombardi), the most endearingly odd office employees outside of NBC's "The Office," as well as the seriously smokin' Tony (Carlos Bernard) and Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth), who have remarried after realizing that it takes two - at least - to fight terrorism.
I'm less thrilled to note that, after a blessed absence of one whole season, Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert) will rejoin the series.
Who can forget Kim's near-fatal encounters with three seasons' worth of murderous kidnappers, to say nothing of the psycho boss, the would-be rapist, the gonzo survivalist, the bear trap or the mountain lion? Who hasn't tried?
Even Kim herself tried, with the old amnesia ploy.
Leave it to Kim to drag in a plot device that was old when "Guiding Light" was in its freshman year.
But Kim is of less immediate concern than her father, Jack (Kiefer Sutherland), who most people believe is dead but who three or four CTU insiders and 10 million "24" fans know is just lying low.
Being Jack, though, he's not lying that low. As 10,000,003 or 10,000,004 of us are aware, after Jack was supposedly fatally shot in the last hour of Season 4, back in May, he was revived, smuggled out of town in the back seat of a car and last seen walking off into the sunrise.
According to information liberally leaked by Fox, Jack will reappear at the start of Season 5 as one Frank Flynn, a Bakersfield, Calif., oil-fieldworker living with a woman named Diane (Britton) and her teenage son, Derek (Corbet).
Bakersfield? Oil fields? A significant other with a kid? OK, how long do you give "Frank" before he's back in action as Jack, fighting terrorists as routinely as the rest of us fight off colds in winter or mosquitoes in summer?
I give him two or three hours, four at the outside. Jack fighting terrorism is a given in "24."
So is a flinty female superior - Atkinson this season, Alberta Watson last season.
And a bad guy with a foreign accent - Sands this time, far too many to count in past seasons, though Dennis Hopper's cold-blooded Victor Drazen in Season 1 stands out.
And a president - first Dennis Haysbert, now Gregory Itzin - with a wife who has her own subplot. Or do you think they've hired the formidable Smart to play a first lady whose chief role is to gaze admiringly at her husband during press conferences?
Oh, and in addition to this year's love interest, played by Britton, last season's love interest, Audrey (Kim Raver), is scheduled to appear. This could prove to be almost as terrifying as the terrorists.
All that, and the deliciously daft Chloe and Edgar, too.
Let the clock start ticking. I'm ready.

Oh, if only I had some pictures of Charles and Martha from Season Six. Then again I think he's sporting the beard and he looks much better here. Then again maybe Martha has updated her hairstyle and will look stunning for the new season. It's a tricky situation...we shall see!
You just don't understand, Martha...there is more at stake than you realize.
How can I tell you without endangering you? How can I be honest with you when I'm not even honest with myself?
