3:00am - 4:00am ::boop beep boop beep::
Well, my cable went out, so I missed the first 15 mins. No big loss, I suppose. Dang. How many more hours are left?
Jack's chasing Chang and boy-kim. hopefully, he'll tell him that he's Jack's son.
Love tryst went horribly wrong (surprise, surprise) and the Russian spy didn't even send the emails. Tom Lennox better take a page out of Jack's torture/interrogation handbook and get the job done.
Nadia's getting dumped on again. She still doesn't win the worst day, but it has been hella shitty for her. This I know. She really is practically a fetus when it comes to CTU. I'm not sure why Buchanen didn't just put Milo in charge. At least it would have made sense that he got capped in the brain.
Something is very fishy with that Marilyn Bauer. You know--aside from the fact that she hasn't admitted yet that Jack is boy-kim's father.
Pause for blatant Cisco product placement...
Russia calls out the US. VP Creepy should know that tangled webs of lies won't get him anywhere. I was waiting for Subarov to say, "secrets, secrets are not fun. secrets, secrets hurt someone." Maybe they can get the first lady to talk to Subarov's wife again. Hopefully, she hasn't already undergone shock therapy or a full lobodomy or anything.
How do all of these politicos and secret agents get around so quickly. From what I understand, the traffic in both LA and DC is a bear.
Papa Bauer still angling for boy-Kim in exchange for the component thingy, huh? Funny that the US government is now going to trade a 2nd Bauer to save it's hide. Although I'm sure Papa Bauer will take better care of boy-Kim than China took care of Jack in Chinese torture prison. He'll probably just turn him into some sort of brain-washed super-spy or something.
Gotta love that Doyle sees no problem yanking a high school freshman away from his uncle/dad to arrange such a trade. Oh, Ricky Schroeder-Doyle. I just want you to decide if you have ethics or not. Do you blindly follow orders or are you a rebel? When you decide, you just let me know.
"Damnit"s: zilch (i don't know. coulda missed 'em on account of my cable failure)
"There's no/We don't have any time"s:
1- Morris, "Daaahling, there was no time."
finale next week. YAY!

2:00am - 3:00am
::boop beep boop beep::
VP Creepster got himself cuckholded and while it was a humbling experience for 5mins, it still didn't knowck him down off his very high horse.
Mike and Nadia and SO gonna get it on. Man, it's not even a love triangle this season. It's like some sort of love octagon or tangley love cat's cradle. Our little Nadia must be quite the sadist. These were 2 guys that tortured and abandoned her respectively. I guess she likes the rough stuff.
Boy Kim is still around? Does that mean real Kim is going to show up at some point? I did think she was going to be in this season at some point. When is boy Kim going to find out that Jack is his dad? Don't tell me that will be saved for next season. Now that Marilyn is going to "be there" for Jack when the day is over, Audrey can go hang out with the first lady in the looney bin. They can have a pharm party with all their crazy pills.
Will the mission to get the component thingy work? I vote no. I mean, shouldn't they have some night-vision goggles or some thermal shit or something?
Ok, never mind. Chinese launch an assault on CTU and CTU is hungry for another assault 10 mins later. heyyooooo. On the upside, it will free Jack to go mount an assault of his own. heehee. I said mount.
Is Chloe's hair getting darker? Do they have access to some Garnier Nutrisse in CTU? It hardly seems responsible to be so vain in light of the day's activities.
Little Miss Trampy Pants, the Veep's aide is going to wind up starring in her very own White House porno, huh? You know that shit would get leaked at some point. These are the things I pretend go on when the 24 hours are up.
Where's Doyle? Denver? What they crap happened there?!!??!? Did I miss it because 24 has been boring me to tears this season?
They're spicing it up with the love octagon, though. These relationshippy things are happening fast. One minute you're torturing and being tortured/betrayed, the next you're making bedroom eyes at each other. Apparently, people get horny in a crisis.
Tell me this whole assault isn't about getting Jack back to Chinese torture prison. Good thing CTU hires plenty of mall security guards to keep the facility safe: Jack- "Let me out! We're under attack! I'll need a weapon." the lines that followed that you didn't hear: "I'll need a weapon. Oh good, you're dead. I'll use yours. Mind if i also use your corpse for a human shield? Thanks so much."
NO WAY! They killed Milo? I did NOT see that coming. Damn you, 24. You've officially killed the love octagon. Why must you kill off all the recurring characters? Poor Milo was having such a manly few hours. I guess we can declare him the winner of the "Who had the worst day?" contest. Poor kid.
So the object of this attack is to get boy Kim to Papa Bauer. Does Papa Bauer want to turn boy-Kim into another of his little minions? hmmmm.....
Things at which Jack Bauer is smooth:
-Improvisational human shieldage. He must be a very tiny man in real life.
-Killing his illegitimate son's would-be then actual kidnappers.
"Damnit"s: 1 - followed up by a "let me clean it up" for the 1-2 punch. He was talking about his mess, by the way.

11pm - 1am
A bunch of crap happened, but I'm really behind, so i might try to catch up on the insanity later.
Moving on...
1:00am - 2:00am ::boop beep boop beep::
Mike Doyle went from bad guy to possible good guy to heroic guy to dumbass. What are they doing with his character?
Veep went from drunkard to possibly sober but definitely lascivious. He creeps me out. He should know better than to fool around with his aide. Gotta love that the first blonde bimbess was just greedy and the second is a double agent mole-rat seducer.
i still don't get how Nadia was next in line to run CTU. Just a few hours ago, they accused her of being a mole and I still don't think she got full clearance back. WTF? She's in way over her head, scared shitless and everyone's baggin on her. Dang. When this is all over, I think we need to play a game of "who had the worst day?"
Tom Lennox back to plotting and scheming. Love it. He's so good when he's devious.
OH SNAP!! Heller just called out Jack. That was harsh with the cursed business.
"Damnit"s: 1 Nadia can't get access to jack's busted lock
"There's No/We Don't Have Any Time"s: big one with Jack trying to negotiate with catatonic audrey.

Little Wayne Palmer is a crafty devil. But he should probably just go lay down. or get his next adrenaline fix. Furthermore, should Karen Hayes have been calling CTU with what's probably classified info about military strides--fake or not? Wayne's getting ballsy. Trying to set himself apart, i see. Too bad he's got great big fat tremors.
Ricky Shroeder is gonna pull some Denver shit on Fayed. Or is he? What the hell happened in Denver? I still want to know.
Who was driving the van? Boy-Kim? Quite the clever ruse they pulled. Nothing like the old switcheroo. Ricky gets a boo-boo and the girls get all concerned, huh? You could see on Milo's face that he wanted to put the sling back on just to remind everyone that he was shot today. Poor thing.
"I should have sent Samir" is TOTALLY a clue to Fayed that the general is lying! I betcha. Now Fayed is going to take down the fake extraction team.
See? I'm so smart. What a convenient tunnel that cuts all communication for the good guys. That Fayed is a slippery S.O.B. Do you think he knew that tunnell would stop all coms? He was probably on Mapquest all day yesterday for just such an occasion.
HAHAHAHAHA! Jack is riding under the garbage truck? Why doesn't he just hold on to the back like the pros do? Then he could make the call to CTU with 1 hand while he holds on with the other. And he wouldn't have those pesky hazards as he does with the under-carriage. Look out for the cam shaft, Jack! The axel! Um, yeah, I don't really know anything about cars.
LOVE that when Fayed figured out the gun was loaded with blanks, he threw the gun at Jack. Rock on. Holy crap, this is the least smooth fight I've ever seen. Can't shoot through a chain link fence, gun throwing, and then Jack BITES THE DUDE! I guess when you've gone on a 1-man killing spree, you're entitled to get a little sloppy toward the end. Now that they've secured the bombs, what on earth will they do for the rest of the day?
Wait for it......wait for it......
AAAAND, just when you think they've forgotten about not-proven-to-be-dead Audrey Raines, she proves not to be dead. Shocker. In addition, she's in LA as evidenced by the 310 area code. Jack definitely has time to go save her and be home in time for Letterman.
Things at which Jack Bauer is smooth:
- Beating the crap out of terrorists. Again. Practice makes perfect.
-Being a one-man surveillance team. Again. Although, this time he did follow it up with a turn at being a 1-man assault team to spice things up. He can do that. He's Jack.
"There's no/we don't have any time"s: 2
Ricky had one when arguing with Jack about transporting Fayed back to CTU.
Nadia rocked it when laying it down to a very jealous Milo.
"Damnit"s: 2!
Jack had 1 BIG one when he was under the garbage truck. I would have been swearing, too. well done.
Ricky came to play this week with 1 fun-time, "Damn, Jack." after the killing spree. He now knows how smooth Jack truly is.
***Alright, lovely readers--unfortunately for you (but fortunately for ME), I'm off the scene next week. Vegas, baby. You're just going to have to wait until my glorious and hopefully triumphant return. You'll get next week's post with the following week. Try not to think about it too much. You'll make it through.

9:00PM - 10:00PM ::boop beep boop beep::
The poor man's David Palmer is out of the coma and channeling his brother but the drunken Veep is out for Palmer blood. Palmer's calling for adrenaline. He's going to become addicted to adrenaline. Someone check for track marks.
Jack's all up in the drunken Veep's plan? wtf? Wait--he's just going for contingency, right? So he can take away Gredenko's immunity? I feel like the whole Veep plan for takeover is some sort of frat guy authority battle that to be Prez is to be king 'o the hill. But everyone knows that politics aren't like a fraternity. Just ask Bill Clinton. oh...wait.
Tom Lennox is an itchy man. An itchy, itchy man. He makes funny faces. That is all.
Pause to enjoy the new DirecTV HD commercial starring "Major League." Awesome.
Milo and Nadia elude to the kiss that I found more awkward than passionate. Just me? They're still ridiculously awkward. and in true CTU form, they're still awfully willing to turn on a dime and stab each other in the back. Sometimes the front.
Ricky Shroeder is a twister mofo and I dig it. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN DENVER??!!??!!?!? He's busy all lookin' for religion and whatnot. Is he a dick? Is he a good guy? The world may never know.
OH, SNAP! Just when you think the Veep is down and out-voted, he pulls some crazy-ass s#!t and he's back in action. I don't think Wayney P is going to make it through this day with all of his brain functions intact.
Milo's gunshot wound has healed to the point of being out of a sling in a mere few hours. Are we to believe that Milo is superhuman? I kinda want to.
I keep waiting for someone to pull a Tonya Harding on Karen Hayes and take her out at the knees.
Ok, who the bejeezus is the blond chick hanging with the Veep? I'm pretty sure she's not so much an aide as a stripper. Too bad Tommy Lennox busted up her game with his Radio Shack spy toys.
Speaking of Radio Shack, what the crap is up with Gredenko's "wire"? It's like a friggin Walkman. Do you think they made him hold down 'play' and 'record' at the same time just before he met his cronies? That's really the best CTU could do? They wired the Autistic dude better than Gredenko.
Dude, you know that cutting off YOUR ARM will leave a trail of blood Hansel and Gretl style, so, is that the wisest direction to take of you don't want to be tracked? Your cohorts don't even like you. They're gonna kill your armless ass first chance they get. I'm just saying--you'll be one-armed and dead.
"I'm pinned down." is being added to the Jack Bauer Power Hour. This is not only at the request of Michele Taylor, but that it's an awesome line. Furthermore, why is Jack a one-man-band on following near-dead Gredenko? Oh, now he's dead. Never mind. I do respect his move to sell out his terrorist buddy in the bar of drunken patriots, though. It obviously didn't help the cause or get Gredenko away alive, but he did his part to move the story along, and I suppose that's all we can ask. On with the terrorist torture....I mean, "interrogation."
Aaaaaaand Wayne Palmer's brain functions are officially no longer intact. Maybe that last injection wasn't adrenaline.
Things at which Jack Bauer is smooth:

Alright cats and kittens, here's where we are:
Jack's poorly piloted radioactive glider went all leaky (surprise, surprise. please note that glider-piloting did NOT make it onto the list of things at which Jackypoo is smooth.). But the good pilot is dead, so now we've got terrorist infighting. Someone should tell Fayed that there is no "I" in "Terrorism." Oh, wait....
Gasp! Shock!! Astonishment!!! Everyone who knows and loves My So-Called Life NEEDS to recognize that Rain Man Hauser's brother--Mark Hauser--is Brian Krackow.

For real. Now this is officially my favorite episode of the season. If Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano show up, I will forgive ALL transgressions thus far this season. It's a shame that's unlikely since Claire Danes is busy at the Gap dancing around in boyfriend pants. It's also worth noting that Mark Hauser's id photo is his head shot will some official looking seals photoshopped in. Clearly, new id photos would have blown the budget for this episode.
Coverups and corruption! Bad news for Nadia.
Bad news for the poor man's David Palmer, too. Apparently, there's no confidentiality in the presidential medical bunker. I hope he doesn't have any STDs. Embarrassing. We should all get WWWPD? bracelets made. "What Would Wayne Palmer Do?" get it? ok, i know. lame.
Ok, so Nadia's off the hook, which means that I can still have hope that Bill Buchannen is the moley, moley mole. Of course, Nadia's only off the hook for now. They'll probably accuse/torture her 2-3 more times before the day is over and find out that BB is the mole. All is not lost, though. It seems that Milo and Mike Doyle did the classic Jack Bauer/Tony Almeida fist fight then become best super-bros. And methinks they're trying to make Milo and Nadia the new Tony and Michelle Dessler. Intriguing.
So, why didn't they tranq the whole Russian team? Wouldn't it make the most sense to tranq the henchmen, too? they're probably not as committed to the cause as Gredenko and would be much easier to break. Do I have to think of everything around here?!
The Veep is still drunk! he's definitely boning his assistant to get a little whiskey slipped in his Ovaltine. He's really going to need it now that Wayney P. is temporarily lucid. He's fresh out of a coma and still sounds less effed up than the Veep. And yet, in true 24 fashion, the usurping of presidential authority continues. it's good to know some things never change.
Things Jack Bauer is smooth at:
-Calming down the Autistic. He's like the Autism whisperer.
-Being internationally renowned. ALL the biggest international terrorists totally know who he is. I bet they think he's a myth until they actually come face to face with him.

Apologies for the delay, dear friends. Every once in a while, I have a life. Surprisingly, said life does not actually revolve around the tv schedule. Shocking, I know. Don't worry. It doesn't happen often. So here we go....
Lets discuss the drones, please. They look like they're filming an especially campy remake of the original Star Wars. I'm a little confused by the idea that criminal masterminds are using radioactive weapons...mounted on gliders....navigated using a flight simulator.....controlled by a joystick re purposed from an Atari they bought on ebay. wtf? Jack can't steer it at all, either. He probably never had an Atari or flight simulator because his dad was an evil genius and was too busy plotting world takeovers to so much as throw a baseball with his son in the yard. Selfish.
Wouldn't it be great if Bill Buchanan was the real mole? Or in the series finale of 24, we find out that Jack is a mental patient and each of these days is all in his head on a day he goes off his meds? I'm just saying. It would be pretty great.
Jealous Chloe is bigtime fun. Looks like she's got a little slutty streak when she's jealous. She's on to spy-Nadia and how she's charming security access (and the pants) from Milo. Poor, weak Milo must be stoned from the pain killers. Also, he must have read one of my posts and know that chicks will find his bullet wound scar way sexy. Way to keep up, milo. Hey, don't believe me? Look at Jack. He's pretty much swiss cheese at this point and the ladies can't get enough. But more on that later...
I'm kind of digging the drunk-with-power (or just drunk) Veep. I can't decide if 24 is trying to make a statement about all the white US prezzies being evil war mongers. The Palmer brothers are chock full of presidential integrity, but they seem to be the only ones. This is clearly not a prerequisite for the position on television any more than it is in real life politics. OH SNAP! yeah, I went there. Politicians are slimy. what.
WHAAAA?! Audrey's dead? Dude, someone took her OUT while trying to get to Jack....or DID THEY? Inconclusive identification of remains is intriguing. I'm not entirely sure why any woman--or man for that matter--would go near Jack knowing his track record. Someone warn boy-Kim's mom. She should know better. All his romantic interests end up dead. Except for trailer park lady. I'm pretty sure she's still around.
Furthermore, all his best friends are dead, maimed or unconscious. Think about it--friggin' Chloe is his best friend. Chloe! Roll that around in your brain a bit. Then again, if I was playing "which would you rather?", I would totally choose to have Chloe as a best friend instead of Chinese Torture Prison, so that's a point in the Chloe column.
Jack is definitely going to discover something in Audrey's file that will prove she's still alive somewhere, right? Right? Maybe she sacrificed herself to take Jack's place in Chinese Torture Prison. That would be so soap opera of 24 and I, for one would love it.
Love triangles in CTU (hexagons! rhombuses? rhombi? i don't know the plural of rhombus. octagons!) really spice things up in the face of international terror crisis. Morris/Chloe/Milo/Nadia/RickySchroeder(he tortures 'cause he loves). Please enjoy these photos of him. Awwwwwww.
Apologies for the delay, dear friends. Every once in a while, I have a life. Surprisingly, said life does not actually revolve around the tv schedule. Shocking, I know. Don't worry. It doesn't happen often. So here we go....

I love that everyone in the room is shocked to find out that there's a leaky mole in CTU. It's like they have amnesia about all the other massive terrorist attack days. The 5 other ones to be exact. I've asked it before and I'll ask it again--do they give out CTU security clearance on a first come, first served basis? And does that amnesia also include the fact that the person they suspect is pretty much always set up by someone else? For super-smart people, these agents are pretty slow on the uptake.
Damnits: i didn't find any. did you?
There's no/we don't have any times: 1
B.B.- do you think "We don't have an hour." counts? well, I do. So it counts.

6:00pm - 7:00pm ::boop beep boop beep:: ***
Oh joy! Oh joy! Chloe is dissing ex-president Creepy!
Milo's back!
Mike Doyle is going to bring silver spoons together! Now we're getting somewhere. Think there's any chance they'll bring in Alfonso Ribiero to be Mike Doyle's right hand man? And if so, will he still do the Carlton dance? I bet the Ricker would love that.
They committed Martha? dang!
ah! hahahahha. Line of the night:
Milo: "are you alright?"
Morris: "the shirt's a blend. It doesn't wrinkle."
And the snappy, Morris comebacks have returned!
How quickly Tom Lennox finds moral highground. Wasn't it a couple of hours ago that he was trotting out blackmail to ditch Karen Hayes? It's amazing what a little kidnapping will do.
Um... i know it's government business and everything, But don't you think it's a little insensitive to randomly land a helicopter at the loony bin? Of course, it didn't seem to make anyone too anxious. 2 old dudes didn't even stop their tennis match despite the high helicopter winds that must have ensued.
Now, food throwing and stabbing? THAT's what I expect to see in a nut house. Dude--I love Martha-Designing-Woman-ex-President Creepy. She really gives 24 that certain pizzaz. I just adore that about her. She immediately starts screaming and then gets all, "what? i totally just did you guys a favor. Why don't you back off my shit and let me call my girl, Subarov. Damn."
Does anyone else think the Veep sounds like he's drunk? And that Markov lookes like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets?
ya think?
Things Jack Bauer is smooth at:
-disarming a suspect via belt
-playing dead/comatose and otherwise thwarting russian spies
-breaking up flirty basement shenanigans
Damnits: nil
There's no/we don't have any times: 3!
1 - ex-prez Creepy
1 - Maaaatha Logan
1 - Jack Bauer using the ever-glorious audible whisper
***Edit: since Dom won't join to add his own comments, but LOVES pointing out my shortcomings I've added his additions in his favorite color: fuscia.

5:00pm to 6:00pm ::boop beep boop beep::
Hello, kids. This week we're taking a field trip to the Russian Consolate for some information and a little light torture. Come along.
Chad Lowe is so wormy. He needs to take some Criminal Mastermind lessons from Papa Bauer. Seriously. What a weenie.
As disappointed as I am in this particular season, I always love when they throw in some Russian spies. No matter how hard they try, they can't make them look any less than cartoony. Bring on the cold war!!! Scowls! Vodka! Fur hats! ESPIONAGE! love it love it love it.
No good deed goes unpunished, Tom Lennox. Looks like the world won't be yours and Vigo's after all. It's going to be the Veep's and Vigo's. If you're lucky, Karen Hayes will come back and throw you a bone. Good luck with that.
Ok, so this week was a little slow for me again. I was most excited while watching the previews for next week. Ricky Schroeder! Jack's miraculous escape! Former first lady may or may not be shacking up with Special Agent to the stars, Aaron Pierce. Now we're talking, 24. Time to step it up. You're better than this.
More things Jack Bauer is so smooth at:
-Speaking Russian. He's more of a Renaissance man than I ever realized.
-Improvisational finger removal. Cigar cutter? clever, clever.
"Damnit"s: zilch once again
"There's no/we don't have any time"s: 1 (woohoo! finally!)
Until next week.... ::boop beep boop beep::
