24 Skiddoo


Did anyone else notice this about this week's episode of 24? Milo got shot. Jack looked at the wound and said, "It's a through-and-through. No arterial bleeding. You'll be OK."

Milo was so OK that a half hour later (remember, this show is supposed to be transpiring in real time), Milo is in the office asking Chloe why Morris smells like alcohol. No mention of the shooting, no holding his side in pain. That's pretty good. He would have had emergency personnel arrive at the shooting scene, he would have likely gone to the emergency room, had his wound cleaned and dressed, given a tetanus shot, antibiotics, whatever, maybe even put in a hospital bed, but no-o-o-o-o-o, not in 24's unreal world of "real time."

I'd have more comments about this show but I start to watch every episode and for some reason I wander off and find other things to do. It's hard to sit still and watch such silliness.

Ciao for now.
