Rena Sofer


I didn't know who Rena Sofer was until I looked it up. I was watching Heroes that I taped from TV a while back when I realized that flying man Nathan Patrelli's wife is the same person as Marilyn Bauer on 24. I watched 24 at 8:00 on Mondays, but in order to watch Heroes too I had to videotape it because it was on at the same time. If that's not a sign I watched too much TV over winter I don't know what is. So anyway, I'm watching Heroes from my videotape and I came to the realization that the same actress is on both Heroes and on 24. It took me until around the final 2 episodes of these shows to figure this out. That can't be all that common for an actor or actress to be on different shows at the same time that air at the same time on 2 different network TV stations. Technically neither role was a main character but still it can't be that common I wouldn't think.

I was completely wrong about Jack being dead at the end of 24. He's still alive but at a crossroads or something. The last 15 minutes of the finale was pretty lame. It was supposed to be all dramatic or something but instead it was really just boring and disappointing. Kind of a lame season of a good show. That's my opinion. Now it's over and so are most of the other TV shows I watched over winter. All of them except for The Shield and The Riches from FX which I think end next week. Then I can officially get off the couch and on with my summer and a bunch of projects I have lined up for myself.

Jessica McBride Fired

Jessica McBride was fired by WTMJ. I fixed my link to her blog on the right side of my page back to the link to her original blog from before it moved to the TMJ site. Her firing had something do to with a segment from her WTMJ evening radio show. She had invited Journal-Sentinal liberal columnist Eugene Kane to discuss the murder of a 4 year old girl in the inner city. He wouldn't come on her show so instead she did a fake interview where she asked the questions anyway but in the place of Eugene Kane's responses she played the sound of a chicken clucking.

24 Season 6 finale prediction

I'm predicting that Jack will die at the end of this season. The preview shows some kind of explosion. If it's not apparent that he dies I think his fate at the end of the finale will be ambiguous. In my opinion this season didn't measure up to the level of other seasons of 24. I still think the show is better than most of the rest of TV though and this season did have a few great moments. I'm still in shock that Milo got shot 2 weeks ago. That was a stunner...proving once again CTU headquarters is not a safe place to work.

I had a dream last night a Chinese man died right in front of me. It was at some kind of park like one of the Disney parts and I was there with some friends. I recognized him as a bad guy who had some connection with nukes and terrorism. It wasn't part of my dream but now that I'm awake I think it was probably Cheng from this and last season of 24. In my dream he melted to death like the wicked witch only it was much more graphic. The best way I can describe it is that his blood turned acidic and ate away all his flesh and bones. It was frothy and everything until there was nothing left but a puddle of blood trickling into a sewer drain. Everyone present was real shocked but relieved. I somehow doubt that's how Cheng will die in tonight's finale but I'm predicting he'll die tonight also. Perhaps in that same explosion as Jack they show in the preview.
