Charles Logan Being Added to the Countdown
Hey everyone. I have been reading all your comments, and a lot of you would like to see Logan added to the Character Countdown. I’m planning on doing it.
As I’m telling you this I’d like to let you in on a little behind the scenes knowledge of the Character Countdown. As everyone here knows the Countdown is probably the most popular feature here on Watching 24. I love doing, but I’m always hesitant to add new characters because new characters never seem to last very long in 24. Or they are in it for a few episodes then their plot has moved on. Also, it takes me about a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours to do each Countdown, there’s a lot of stuff that goes into it. First I have to rewatch the episode and make notes the entire time. Then I go back over my notes and write the Countdown. One of the most time consuming aspects of the Countdown is the fact of adding everything up and then placing in all the pictures.
The fact is I planned on adding Charles Logan this time, but halfway through making the Episode 11 Countdown I completely forgot about adding him because of all the other stuff I was doing.
Anyway, without futher ado here’s the Charles Logan entry to Episode 11. He will also be entered in following Countdowns.
Charles Logan (100)
-Swung a sweet deal. After killing a President and aiding terrorists is only under house arrest. He must have had a killer attorney (+7)
-Wants to help without wanting a plee agreement (+5)
-Recommitted to his faith (+3)
-Knows Markov is lying (+5)
-Grew a sweet beard. Apparently this is what everyone does when they have been left to their own devices. Remember Jack growing a beard after season 1? And his amazing beard at the beginning of this season? Is 24 trying to say something about beards? Is it the ultimate sign of self-decay? Hmmm….(+3)
-Is apparently a rancher (-3)
-For wearing a doofy cowboy outfit (-5) [submitted by the other aaron]
-Adds much needed acting ability after we had to suffer through Marylin’s acting (+8)
-Recites scriptures to himself in the mirror like a crazy religious zealot, maybe he caught “the crazy” from Martha (-6)
-Thinks Wayne, or anybody for that matter, will ever forgive him for killing David (-9)
Net Gain/Loss:+8
Current Total:108

Wooo!!! Thanks for the addition of Logan. And also, thanks alot for all your valuable time and hardwork you put into the Countdown.
One note about his faith though- Is it real? Remember last year when he asked (was it Novak?) to pray with him, then they knelt down together? That was extremely creepy of him.

Even though I don’t know how long he’ll last, thanks for adding him to the countdown. But to start him off, I would have given him -50 points for being Charles Logan and a +50 points for being played by Gregory Itzen.

Yeah, i was going to suggest an immediate -100 for being Charles Logan.

Yay! Logan’s Run in the countdown starts. Though he probably should have started with negative points carried over from the last day. I wouldn’t worry about him disappearing soon - he’s too good a character to be disposed of too quickly.
Btw - there’s a link at Digg of a clip called “Jack Bauer interrogates Chunk.” - I guess its from The Goonies - not familiar with the movie myself but still kinda amusing.

Cool, I’m quite happy Logan was added to the countdown. Let’s hope he sticks around long enough to deserve his place. I look foward to Audrey’s return in the show, and maybe her incorporation in the countdown…
