Hee. I posted that right before Studio 60. S60 practically had me in tears, too, but for different reasons. I can't help but love the Matt/Harriet stuff, even though it was sad. I think they both said a lot of things they needed to and, even though it's bad now, I think that's good for them in the long term.
I'm still not quite on the Danny/Jordan bandwagon . . . please convince me! I'm getting there and I do enjoy their banter, but I'm not feeling the love yet. Maybe I'm just so used to waiting forever for resolution on tv shows, especially on Sorkin shows.
Other stuff: I love Jack more and more in every episode. I'm glad Tom and Lucy seem to be okay. He's such a great guy that I'd hate to her to think otherwise.
I think you're right about Danny/Jordan. And I do have to admit that the stalking really turned me off for a while. That's just a storyline I always have a problem with on tv (probably because I am not a woman who likes to be aggressively pursued in real life). I'm mostly over that now, though, because Danny realized what he was doing and apologized and they were able to joke about it. I think I'll like them eventually. I'm just not there yet. (And I'm a Dan girl, too. I started off liking Casey a little more, I think, but Dan won me over completely.)
For me, the first turning point with Jack was at the end of Nevada Day 2, when he yelled at the Chinese guy, defending Jordan. But I'm with you on thinking his separation from his wife might not be a good thing for Danny/Jordan . . . I've never wanted Jordan/Jack.
I want to see Tom and Lucy's first date, too! It looks like Matt & Harriet are getting more angst next week. They could be a nice break from that.
Yeah. That helped me a lot. We got find out exactly why she initially rejected him. And her reasons were perfectly valid and well-founded. It'll be interesting to see how they do deal with all of this. Starting a relationship with a woman who's pregnant with another man's baby can't be easy.
What did you think of Graham's wife? It didn't come as any surprise that there's a history between her and Jack. (Seriously, was there anyone pre-Season 1 that Jack didn't sleep with? Hee.) But the scene between her and Jack after he took down Graham was a little... off. Her hysteria was a little over the top.
Yeah. I kind of rolled my eyes at Jack having a history with her--just don't make the kid his! (A real life friend and I are working on a theory that the kid is the real mastermind behind it all and that his mom knows and that's why she's so freaked out . . . hey, it would be a new twist!)
I knew Jack's father was evil... more evil than even Graham. You could tell. There was something on James Cromwell's face that told me. He's creepy. I feel sorry that Jack has such a crappy family.
Oh, it doesn't surprise me that he's evil, but I so badly wanted him to be good. Can't Jack have a fellow CTU agent sister or something? Are all the other Bauers evil? I just want Jack to have someone.
