5:00pm - 6:00pm ::boop beep boop beep::

Drinking game is in full effect for this one, folks. 24 did us proud and rocked the hit list. So, fill a cup with your favorite adult beverage and get ready to imbibe. As always, drink irresponsibly.

So, the murder-spree takes a pause since Simone got jacked up by a bus. Heller's Alzheimers secret is not-so-secret anymore. The jig is up! PM blew the mission and the standoff continues. Mommy Dearest is gonna blow some shit up if Heller doesn't surrender. Tic toc!

Navarro is is working with Adrian Cross, but Cross is just a middle man, huh? Who's the mastermind, I ask you??  Maybe Chloe with the Dragon Tattoo is playing puppet master to everyone! That would be magnificent. after 9 seasons, Chloe is the big bad? I vote yes.

Is this guy  going to put on scrubs and tuck a gun in his scrubs drawstring belt? Someone should advise him against that. I'm looking at you, Plaxico Burress.

Mommy Dearest is about to drone strike her own daughter. And she has her son pointing the drone. He already watched her cut off her daughter's finger. So, he's gotta be sticking around out of fear, right? If he was smart, he'd point those drones right at Mommy Dearest.

Navarro seemed like he had a conscience until riiiiiiiiiiiight..........now.

Boudreau is getting what he wanted. Prediction--VP becomes the P and Boudreau becomes the VP. Or so he thinks. Another prediction--Boudreau and Audrey will not be married by the end of the day.

Hospital shenanigans. See below for some highlights.  BAH!!! Kate and Jack leave the hospital to meet outside with PERFECT TIMING. Not only that, but Margot Dearest finds them on satellite and blows them up. But, no!  Jack speeds them away....FROM A DRONE STRIKE!!! TWICE!!!  THREE TIMES!!!! Oh, 24.  You're swell.

Poor Agent Whatshisface got snipered. Of course, as we all noticed, he was only shot in the shoulder. He lives another day! Well, maybe not another day. To the next hour, at least. I mean, he's gotta out Navarro in a shocking turn of events, right?

Oh. My. God. The Russian Deputy Minister's weird-ass goatee is my favorite thing I've ever seen. Ever. And then he gets personal on Boudreau. And THEN he gets his weird-ass goatee all up in Boudreau's face. So far, in my opinion he's the best character to ever be on the show. That opinion is based purely on the joy his facial hair brings to my life.

Heller's not getting as squishy in the brains as he'd have had us believe from the first few hours. He's smart enough to start keeping secrets from Boudreau. So, there's that. 
Skype convo with Margo Crazytown and Heller? Everybody put your disdain face on.



Damnits:
-Bigtime "Damnit" when Plaxico gets shot. Drink a LOT! That was a good one.
-Another bigtime "Damnit" with a followup mini-"damnit" when Jack's trying to outrun THE DRONES in Londontown rushour. 

There's no/we don't have time(s):
"We're running out of time. Margot's deadline's almost up." Jack right before not-Plaxico opens fire.
-"Time we do not have. Make is sooner than later, for your sake." Mother Russia's facial hair muse to Boudreau. 
-"Mr. President, we're still trying. To be honest with you, we're running out of time." Solid! Bottom's up!


Things at which Jack Bauer is smooth:
-Getting hospital staff to do whatever he wants, no questions asked.
-Torturing intensive care patients.
-Carjacking. Lots and lots of carjacking.
