The Best/Worst (yes they are both the same this week)

• Bad Father Figures: Could this be where Jack learned all his cut throat tactics?  So far i'm really not too impresed with the jack's actual dad in the show (see the coined phrase from last season) as he's fairly old and decrepid.  Call me harsh, but Henderson was a lot more old gen Bauer if you ask me.

Things I refuse to Ignore

• When in Doubt:  You can always count on the guys at fox for one thing each season (and twice if Kim's involved) - a good old fashion kidnapping.  You'd think they'd have some personal training as part of their "Hostile 101" training course - i mean at least have a can of mace or something.  you track TERRORISTS for crying out loud.

The million dollar question on everyone's mind - including my own - has been, "can this brother of jack's be a match against Jack Almight?"  Does he have the mental fortitude to take on our hero in season six?  Will He-Man Jack finally meet another arch-nemesis the likes of Nina Meyers?  As much as i hope he does - and hope its Graem - it seems like his long lost brother is a cringer instead of a mighty battle cat.  Then again, leave it to fox to throw in a last minute twist this week to keep us on the edge as the clock beats up to the top of the hour.

The Best

• There's Still Hope: The head of the Bland Bluetooth Gang may actually have enough backbone to take on Jack . . . and his dad!  Will wonders never cease.

The Worst

• Black Mail in the White House: Okay, enough is enough. How can we expect that Karen, after last season's battles with Miles the type-casted snake, to so easily cave under the vague threats of The Weasel?
• Hook, Line, and Sinker:  Looks like Milo's doing a little fishing for a lady called Nadia.  Anyone else seeing this?  I just hope his "i'll do all you're homework" lines work.  By the end of the day i predict we'll be seeing a little chemistry in this classroom.

Things I refuse to Ignore: Missing Persons: Calling all cars

I learned earlier this week that my hottie's old time fav. movie happens to be 1969's Best Pic "Hello, Dolly" and thought it'd be a nice treat to snag a DVD copy for her since we unloaded the old VHS copy last year without a second glance as part of our apartment cleansing.  I said farewell to a handful of old made-for-tv movies and she quickly made short work of them at Half-Price Books.

All that to say that the movie was a pretty witty mix of good humor and quick dialogue around a healthy plot (which you are seeing less and less of these days).  For that i must give credit to my lovely wife for introducing this well rounded flick.  If you are, however, annoyed by song and dance, i say steer clear of this one - as it's a musical - but if you dig more epic style classics - the likes of Gone with the Wind and Ten Commandments.  I'd give this Dolly a whirl.
