Okay, so maybe episode 2 was bookended by the other best line of the episode...
Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer threatening a suspect by saying "You're going to tell me what I want to know. It's just a question of how much you want it to hurt.

Season 5 of "24" is regarded as the shows best season and I'm not here to argue that, I will merely say that it's worst sin is it wasted Connie Britton.
"Mrs. Coach" from "Friday Night Lights" as Derek's Mom. I've liked her since "Spin City"

Best line of episode 2?
" The only reason you're still conscious is because I don't want to carry you."

No offense to Brady Corbet, I mean Derek is meant to be annoying, but he really nailed it.

And in an amazing coincidence, Jeff Kober not only played a bad guy on the "Enterprise" episode featuring Greg Itzin, he showed up in E1 of S5 of "24!"
Actor. Jeff Colbert season 1 of 24.

That thing where on the eve of a season 5 of "24" rewatch, it turns out that Logan was a Vulcan all along!

Sidebar, I had forgotten that Gregory Itzin passed away in 2002. I always enjoy his work when I see it.
Gregory Itzin, the actor who plays President Logan on 24, on an episode of "Enterprise" As a Vulcan captain, stating "It's not Vulcan policy to negotiate with terrorists." Which, let's face It, is a very President Logan line.

I'm keeping my eye out for a PP myself...

I like Hand Sanitizer for sticker removal, personally.

My first car. 1979 Ford Fiesta. have SO many stories.....
A early 1990's Tom standing behind the open door of my 1979 ford fiesta. The car is bright yellow and there's a sunshade (reversed to day "Need Help, please call police. Never had to deploy it in real life.) behind the windshield. I got it in 1999 I think, and drove it to Carbondale IL for school numerous times. No matter how I drove it, highway or city, it burned a quart of oil a week, but never left a puddle anywhere. Eventually, it started not running right, and I took to to a mechanic who raised the hood, poked around a little, then looked at me and said "See that wingnut on the air cleaner? Take that off, drive a newer carr under it, and screw it down."

Just finished @crobertcargill.bsky.social 's "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" in the "End of the World" anthology, and was delighted at the way he dropped his favorite things into the story.
Bravo, sir!

Serious question:

What's the difference between captions and subtitles?

Asking for me.
The captions and subtitles page for the movie 1941 having English as an option for a caption for the hearing impaired and subtitles for French, Spanish or none.

And I literally said "wow" when I walked into the Dixon public library, which drew a smile and a chuckle from the librarian at the main desk, because I really dig this old school wood type architecture which to be fair, I don't know what it's called but I know I like it.
It's a picture of the old library building with modern accoutrement but the top half is dark wood and chandeliers and a name plaque stretching. Almost the length of the wall that says "O. B. Dodge Library Building" in that font where where "u"s are "V"s and that frankly cracks me up.

Dixon's Public Safety building is Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, which I dug.

Buckle up for Locke and Key, sir. It's a wild ride.
Two distressed teenagers and one smiling small boy. Look over the edge into a fantasy land of bright colors filled with castles and dinosaurs and balloons and lollipops and all manner of of childish. Wonder in the foreground a young boy rides on an adult's adult male's shoulders. It's bananas in the best way. I'm trying to avoid spoilers since the gunslinger who's post I'm responding to hasn't read this.

There is that, but on the other hand, how many more editions do I need?
My "Locke and Key" collection, including the oversized Special Editions of "Welcome to Lovecraft" and "Head Games," the three volume Master Edition, hardcover trades of the six individual volumes AND the Omnibus.
