Official Recap:
- Dammit = 2 (or was it 3...Kate?) (M counted only 2)
- Perimeter = 0 (Uh, Ricky, maybe you should have had Audrey set a perimeter! You'd still have Cheng.)
- Speaking of Cheng, upsetting ethnic stereotypes = 1
- Women whose careers were boosted by Bill's resignation = 2
- Speaking of Nadia, surprising reversals (for now) of ethnic stereotype = 1
- Resurrected characters = 1 (Bring back Nina! Bring back Nina!)
- Nucular detonations = 0
- Other explosions = 0
- Eeeeww = 1 ("M" Commented to the googol plex on the EEEW)
- Facial movements by Evil Veep = 0
- Tender Moments for Jack = 1
- Ruthless Moments for Jack = all, minus 1
- Improbable career actions = 3 (Karen, retained by Evil Veep; Karen, firing Bill; Bill annoiting Nadia acting head of CTU, showing her parents that a newly minted Semiotics degree from Brown is an asset)
- Successful shopping trips to Radio Shack for a circuit board = 0
- Successful suicide bombings by a US Federal Agent (rogue) = 0
- Hair gel commercials = 0 ("M" I think the rogaine should count as 1, it's a gel to GROW hair LOL)
- Women proven, definitively, to be either stupid or evil = 0
No sign of Walid or any Bauers. Gradenko, (don't forget about Kumar) and Logan are still MIA, presumed dead. Aaron and Martha are probably sipping Kiwi Cosmopolitans. Chad Lowe is back for a cameo, attempting to negotiate his way out of the death penalty by taking as many people down as he can. Tom, proving himself to be both wily and enigmatic, appears to be on the Evil Veep's side...or is he?
There's a new sheriff in town, the handsome but unfortunately named Peter Hock, who is no Friend Of Bill, and may be eeeeevil.
Favorite moments? Ricky, playing in traffic (too bad he wasn't taken out), only to carjack a ride to pursue Jack . Nadia, having taken on the CTU leadership mantle, shouting "Pursue and Engage." Jack, insisting that he tenderly remove the gag from poor Audrey's mouth.
Audrey appears to be catatonic or psychotic. (Or both -- whatever her trauma, she won't be setting a perimeter for a while...) William Devane is one dashing baby boomer, and I can only hope he'll return next week to admonish Jack for Audrey's condition. I'm truly hoping that Bill goes all rogue with Jack. (That would be ideal, they would make a great team!)
I'm reminded of one great thing about 24 this season...hasn't it run straight through, no breaks or reruns? I don't watch much TV, but this is refreshing.
"M" and LPK, missed you tonight. Enjoy via TIVO and on demand...signing off for now. (I missed blogging too!!!! See you all tomorrow! "M" Out)

Tai, you're so right. And in the 24-verse, how would he have had access to the press to release the information, anyways? Hasn't habeas corpus been suspended? It could be months before he even sees a lawyer (much less another tube of hair gel!)
(OK, sooner or later, I've got to let go of the hair gel.)
Thanks for stopping by, Tai!
OK..... so this is very late and it took several watches to get a full grasp of what happened!! (3 so far but I think I need a few more!!)
Keep getting so engrossed can only count 1 damnit (from Nadia to Bill) can't even find a second, never alone anymore!!
Gredenko is definitely known to be dead by the way, in one of the previous episodes Bill includes this news in a report to TEYOP or should he be the UTEYOP now (unconcious!?!).
Awwwdrey has definitely been over-cooked... to a crisp I think. Only place for her now is the local loony bin. Poor poor Jack. Is going to have to look to Marilyn now if he's going to have any chance of nookie today!!
Great Blog, great wrap up too!! Can't wait til next week... will try and concentrate harder!
Copy that!
Over and out!
Ricky was the other dammit K.K.
