Special Premiere Awards:
Honorable Mention of -500 goes to Scott’s Dad for actually delivering the nuclear bomb part to the terrorists.
Honorable Mention of +45 goes to Scott’s Mom who, surprisingly against all 24 rules and regulations, called the police when a terrorist told her not to.
-100 points goes to Sandra Palmer (who will be added to the Countdown next week and will start at 0 because of me taking 100 points away from her right now) for reminding me of Sherry Palmer, the most evil woman to ever walk this planet.
The Little School Girls Award goes to Milo and Morris for their nauseating bickering over…wait…whaaaa…they were fighting over Chloe? In light of this new information they also both win a pair of prescription glasses.
Most Helpful Terrorist, goes to that fun-loving guy Assad. If it hadn’t been mentioned 500 times that he’s killed thousands of innocent people, he would’ve seemed like a guy I’d like to go to lunch with. (He will also be added to the Countdown next week).
Most Disappointing Countdown Performance goes to President Wayne Palmer for reminding us that, sure President Logan was a traitor, but he was no Wayne Palmer that’s for sure.

Sandra does remind me of Sherry — which was the worst character ever on 24, man I was glad when she was finally killed. Perhaps that Wayne will get a nice big +100 for killing Sandra like he did Sherry. One can only hope.

oh get out of my head about morris- he and milo are there to cause angst and strife and to occasionally pull chloe’s chair out for her. i love how CTU has always been more than a little slap-and-tickle

Hmm that looks like fun. I pretty much agree on the +/-. It reminds me how they evaluate NHL players lol. But yeah. Nadia is cute.

you know, i’d really like to know the purpose of milo other than to add to some of the slap-and-tickle factor of CTU
