3:00pm - 4:00pm ::boop beep boop beep::

Happy Memorial Day, dear readers! I hope you thanked a Veteran today then ate lots of pork byproducts and drank cheap beer. Or expensive beer. What do I care? It's your money.

Kate has officially joined our heroes and yet still on the business end of Chloe's stink-eye.

Margo still has a bad case of the crazies and her daughter has some for real Stockholm syndrome or something. The crazy runs deep in that family. When is the son going to question Mommy Dearest?

6 runaway drones are headed right for us! Or London. Or any other place! Get ready for a lot of not-having-times.
So, the Americans have to warn the British, "The drones are coming! The drones are coming!"
Prediction: a shit ton of audible whispers when Jack and Audrey come face to face again.

Once again--"Kate, you saved us all! Get out. Thank you SO much for being a super-agent. Pack up your things and leave. You're amazing. You suck for not knowing your husband was a spy on America."

HOLD UP! Does Heller really not know what happened in the drone attack that killed Margo Crazytown's husband? Or is it his brain beginning to atrophy with surprising speed?

I need a closer look at the "ink" on Chloe with the Dragon Tattoo. That arm band is some kind of special fakeness.

I can't decide what I think about Boudreau. On the one hand, he's sneaky as hell. On the other, he's a morally righteous smug asshole who thinks he knows best for everyone. Hmmmmm...

I should look into getting myself an underground arms dealer.

BOOM! Jack just gave Heller an ultimatum! AND reminded him how little time we have. That's so Jack.

hahahahaha. Just when Jack tells us we're on borrowed time, the Naveed kid reminds us that "we have a little time." Silly, Naveed. He's new here. He's not long for this world.

Audrey and Jack: so many barely audible whispers. Most whispery exchange ever caught on network television.

Ok, I watched it twice and there's a random person who gasps when Heller confirms to the Prime Minister that Margo Crazytown can act on her threats. WHO IS THE GASPER??? (never seen on film)

Kate is thrown off the case, but still gets all involved, because that's what not-CTU agents do. Then she gives Chloe access to the CIA network because THAT'S what not-CTU agents do. Why do I feel like they're grooming Kate to be a 24 spinoff star?

Okaaaaaay, so there's an actual, real romance with Chloe and Adrian Cross? and he loves her. I thought this was going to be some implied romance or unrequited weirdness.

Prediction: Navarro and co gets blowed up by a drone having been given a fake address from the video's IP trace.
Will they get out in time? DO THEY HAVE TIME??

I'm a 24 psychic.

Next prediction: Kate gets put in charge of the operation. Because, duh.


Damnits:
Can I get a Damnit up in this piece?

There's no/we don't have times:
-"We have to move fast or a lot of people are gonna die." Kate quote. Pretty close. Consume your adult beverage of choice.
-"Even if you captured him alive, there's no way you'd break him with enough time to stop these attacks." Yep, put Jack in the field. It just feels so right. Cheers!
-"Mr. President, I hope you consider my request...while you still have time." That was a good one. DRINK!

Things at which Jack Bauer is smooth:
-Telling the truth and being right about terrorist stuff.
-Acquiring things "by stealth." Because, YES.
