Women! Treacherous snakes! January 26, 2006

Filed under: the thoughtful spot — Rachel @ 10:17 am

I just watched a rockin’ episode of 24: Season 2. I think it was 5 PM- 6 PM. It was full of twists and excitement. One thing struck me, though (and this may be considered a chris’ spoiler, so sorry): Marie turns out to be a covert terrorist, Palmer’s ex-wife is plotting to overthrow him, and, of course, we all know about Nina, but in this episode she almost gets away with killing Jack. Moral: it’s the chix! I mean, sure, there are male villains, but we all know who they are. The women, of course, are much more covert. And, of course, they’re all ex-lovers, ex-wives, or fiances. Men, beware: we will win your heart, then rip it out of your chest and hold it in front of your face, still beating in our hands…and we will laugh.

And by the way, a clementine that has, like, three of four seeds per tiny segment is not worth it! (That was not thematically related; I was just eating one while I wrote this.)

Your assessment is spot-on. All women on 24 are either evil or liabilites to national security.

See:

- Nina Myers
- Jamie
- Kim Bauer (who got us into the season 1 mess in the first place)
- Sherry Palmer

Women on the show are either diabolical, idiots and should not be trusted.

don’t forget how erin driscoll’s up-tighty “i got to prove i’m tough like the boys” demeanor forced jack to renegadism (didn’t see that coming) and hampered his attempt to locate the kidnapped secretary of defense. then she even had chloe arrested for helping him … talk about being nowhere close to the donkey’s tail! then, her febile attempt to work a man’s job at the expense of her womanly duties effectively killed her schizophrenic daughter. THEN she got too ‘emotional’ and had to leave ctu in the middle of the day! … ha! take that, woman!
