Learn to use spoiler tags, FOX!

Mon, Feb 12th, 2007 | 2:46pm | TV - 24

Fox.com is advertising the 2-hour episode of 24 that's going to be on tonight. But check out the spoiler in the ad!

Not cool, FOX. You expect me to watch the episode after telling me stuff is going to explode? This is what spoiler tags were made for. Stuff blows up so rarely on 24, that this is a big deal.

So now I'll have two hours of TV to start downloading when I wake up tomorrow. Nothing like some 24 to unwind after a long day of teaching English and learning Hebrew.

Also, have you been watching this season? It's amazing

yep!

Yeah, Rishi and I have been watching all the episodes, and Dave's watching this season live too, so we won't have to hide any spoilers from him this time! :)

It really has been awesome.

mole?

what's the moliest thing you've seen this season? who do you think is the mole?

why does walid have an arabic accent if he doesn't speak arabic?

why do the vice presidents look like they're scheming?

why haven't we been talking about this sooner? i'm always caught up by wednesday.

i bet assad isn't a "good" guy now.

aaahhhhhhhh

Spoilers!

As you may have noticed, I've added spoiler tags. You can put any spoilers here like this:

<spoilers>This is a spoiler</span>

Which will result in this:
This is a spoiler

So to respond to you,

I don't know about Walid's accent, but Sandra Palmer is sooooo annoying. "So he's done, right? Get him out of there!" Couldn't they just stun-gun her?

Tom is so moley it's ridiculous. And the vice president too.

They keep making Assad look both suspicious and really helpful. You're probably right about him turning eventually though.

spoiler tag test

you shouldn't be able to see this

test?

Why test it when it works? Both the recent comments and the comment previews should be fixed now.

as i suspected, the spoiler tag works in the body, but not on the recent comments section. so make sure to put a couple words before you reveal that Morris totally blew it by giving them a device that worked, he should have rigged it to be a tracker or something helpful. he had to assume he was going to die, anyways. Also, why doesn't everyone just tell Jack what's going on--he totally could have protected his nephew from his father.

Yeah, the possibility had occurred to me but I hadn't fixed it yet. It is working correctly now.

Mark, don't read this stuff until you've watched this week's 2 hours!

OK, first of all, Morris is pathetic. If he couldn't stand up to the torture anyways, what was the point of holding out an extra 30 seconds while getting drilled into? If you're going to cave anyways, at least don't get really injured. But he shouldn't have cracked anyways.

And I'm also getting annoyed with people not saying things. Karen should've told Palmer she was being forced to quit by Tom and I agree that Jack could have protected the nephew (instead of nearly getting blown up).

And Tom is finally the moley mole he seemed to be.

wow

The first hour was great. I was so pumped on my way to Hebrew class. You had to know that Morris would wuss out. He's no Jack Bauer. Plus, he had his shoulder drilled.

The second hour was much more drama about Jack. Oh, the pain he must be feeling. Meanwhile, I like that guy from LA Confidential. He's pretty good in that role. However, I'm a little tired of these nameless guys in the background.

You gotta love patriotism. What these people will do for their country. I still can't wait for Assad to give some signal on TV to the terrorists.

In the name of President Palmer (the good one), they can't let Wayne die.
