Should there really be a “Previously on 24″ since we just watched that episode? At least we’re reminded even Hollywood Washington has intelligence failures. We also know the FBI hasn’t found Amar/Kumar’s package. “It’s well hidden.” I would hope so, or “Viewer discretion is advised” won’t cut it for Fox.
Jack’s thankful Fayed puts killing thousands of Americans above killing him.
Jack comes out of a tunnel looking like a serial killer. In a split-screen Chloe pouts while playing with her CD collection.
Jack breaks into a car, finds a cell phone, and remember’s CTU’s phone number. The Chinese didn’t break him.
Cobra gunships are in route to Assad. 24 couldn’t afford Apaches.
Assad keeps a pile of firewood outside his house? In LA? In sunny California?
Jack has gun! About time. None of this biting and clubbing.
Damn it! Assad made him drop the gun.
One shot, one kill. Just neither Jack or Assad.
Sprint/Nextel is pushing the phone Jack used to get to Assad’s house. “Power up” like Jack Bauer.
All right, the Islamic-American Alliance. 24’s version of CAIR. The hot, sassy lawyer who’s also President Wayne’s sister wants a warrant from the FBI before handing over personnel records.
Sandra isn’t “some idealistic flag burner.” I’m glad we got that out of the way. She’ll do something morally compromising soon enough. It runs in the family.
At terrorist HQ…
Fayed puts a transmitter on a suicide bomber to make sure he goes BOOM!
At a house…
Torture is the early theme. Jack got tortured by the Chinese. Fayed tortured Jack. Jack now tortures one of Fayed’s goons with a ballpoint pen (made sure to take off the cap) to get Fayed’s location. Torture: the new family entertainment.
Jack’s wimping out. He tells Assad, “I don’t know how to do this anymore.” He better learn or this show will sputter. Milo sure isn’t going to stop Fayed.
At the the Islamic-American Alliance (where only the director looks Arab)…
The FBI has their administrative warrant. Sandra jumps on a computer and starts deleting files. Who does she think she is, Chloe? That ticks off the FBI so much they arrest President Wayne’s sister and her husband.
Back in suburbia…
The bigot contractor (who was right about Kumar and his dad) comes back to Kumar’s house while Kumar bashes walls to get his package. The bigot contractor proceeds to beat the sliders out of Kumar. Kumar goes all Jack Bauer on bigot contractor by shooting him and pulling a piece of glass out of his leg.
Neighbor kid Scott runs in and sees dead bigot contractor making Kumar’s life even more complicated. Kumar pulls his gun on Scott and gives him a lesson on how to pronounce his name.
Assad and Jack hanging out in a car in LA traffic…
Is Assad played by Alexander Siddig the same actor who was Dr. Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? He looks like him but doesn’t sound like him. But then sounding different is called acting. I’m glad to see he went from one geeked-out show to another.
Off to the subway; that new, pretty one they built in LA…
Grey, long-sleeve t-shirts will be all the rage this season.
No body in LA must use the subway in the morning to get to work.
Jack didn’t buy a ticket or jump a turnstile. LA subways must be free.
No wait. The LA subway employs human beings to zap tickets. The union must love that bit of make-work.
Jack just made Mr. Make-Work’s pants a little stinky after telling him about the terrorist on board.
Jack saves Union Station, but Baltimore and Chicago got hit. The feds need to clone this man. He needs to be everywhere. Forget An Army of Davids we need An Army of Jacks.
Poor Milo, he doesn’t even look stylish giving Buchanan the bad news.
President Wayne just found out Jack was right about Assad and Fayed and is beginning to wimp out. Get the Airplane slapping scene ready.
For more 24 fun read the live blogging from Blogs4Bauer. For something more serious Right Wing Nut House discusses Jack “descending slowly into hell.”
