24 Recap...If I Can Keep My Eyes Open to Type

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.

Perimeter: 0
Dammit: 1
Missed opportunities to say Dammit: at least one
Missed opportunities to riff on hair gel: Aaagh, can you say "Awwwwdrey"?
Apparant facial movements by Evil Veep: 1?
Reappearance of hated female characters (and we are women!): 2
Constitution almost placed back into effect: 1
Friends of the 24 Blog who will watch if Ricky takes over: 0
Times "A" almost fell asleep: 17
Times "M" was distracted by the computer: 5
Handsome black men down for the count: 1

(Well, the Hubby is not a woman, but "M" says that he plays one on TV.)

"M" says she might not be watching live next week, because she's going to Florida. As we all know, there is no TV or internet in Florida. We can hope that a technological revolution will sweep the state in the next week, though! (Or maybe she can drive up to Georgia for the evening, where they do have these advantages.)

Missing in Action:

• Marilyn, Jack's dad, Spawn of Bauer, Walid, Sandra, Brady (coming to CTU next season, though: there is still an open req for Eggar's position)...
• Gradenko, Logan, and Kumar -- did anyone see their dead bodies?
• Nadia and Milo may have been making out in the server room, because they were nowhere to be seen...but previews show Nadia back and in action next week, moving from her role in IT to a field role? She's seen barking the order "Pursue and Engage!"
• Where are Erin and Martha? ("M" added 23:23 EDT)

Hubby, LPK, "E" (formerly known as "B") and "P". thanks for joining us!

"M", anything to add? "M" says yes. It's from KiefersKate's comment on this post. She has it all figured out! Check the comments for the entire comment
She writes:
"...I agree there is no way we can get filled in on those that are MIA! Only 6 hours to go and far too many loose ends.... unless Jack's Dad is at the hosp visiting Logan when Martha and Aaron pop by on the way to jail to see how they are, Gredenko is brought in, with his arm in a bag and seaweed in his hair and Jack's Dad goes to sit with him for a while cos they're old mates... Then Marilyn and spawn of Bauer pop in for a check up/paternity test and spot Grandad and he bumps them off... that would tie up a few loose ends for Jack and save him having to choose between Awwdrey and her...

Just a basic Question

They have helicopters covering the opening of an envelope in LA. It would seem, judging from all the other activity, no one except CTU knows the bomb went off. So why are there not helicopters with lights just all over the place?

New Writer?

It's hard to keep the excitment going when your mind is just scrambled bananas.

Traveling in the Truck

CTU seems to have a GPS up every gnats butt, but they have to ask Doyle where he is and of course Jack will just be able to drive away and know one will be able to find him?

Ricky Ricky Ricky

He should have said Dammit!

Tuck and roll, Jack

He is on to them just from the YES that Doyle mumbled.

Don't test me Doyle. I killed my best friend Curtis just this morning after my terrorist breakfast after being released from Chinese prison where I was TORTURED.

Snore Fest

Last week was just too action packed. This week, ZZZZ.

Not a single a perimeter. Jack pulls a gun on Ricky. Yaaawn.

Split scren montage.

Maybe the writers just had sympathy for the last minute tax filers...if you pulled an all nighter to pull your tax stuff together, it could be difficult to stay awake, I guess.

Now, Did the Evil Veep Resign Yet?

Nope, he's kind of smirking at the news that TEYOP has had a serious stroke.

I'd like to see Karen and Blonde Toady throw down about now.

Evil Veep...how dare you doubt Jack's ability to do anything? And Karen and Tom are now capitulating to the Evil Veep? Can't Tom leak that tape?

And hello US Constitution. Did the Evil Veep just transfer executive authority to himself?

Lennox is a Dead Man

Hey Tom. It's time to run man! You know the VP will not let the tape out.

TEYOP's Going Down!

On national TV

Extremes

Wait didn't we send a "Nuke" toward a phantom country in the Middle East.
I don't know she kinda looked like an Andrew.
Here comes the Stroke!

Blond Sympathy

Uh Oh, is her name Monica?

1/2 Hour

You can't get anywhere in LA in a half hour.

OK, Can I Say "Shut Up" Twice?

The Blonde Toady hasn't been told to step off? She's not duct taped to Chad?

Evil Veep is trying to get his face to move. Maybe he had oral surgery earlier in the "day" and the anaesthetic is still wearing off.

BT: "I don't know what to say." How about "I'm stupid AND evil."

or how about: EEEEWWWWWWWWW!

Just dawned on Morris

He is not getting any for awhile.

Their ages

Ricky looks older that Jack. Ricky just had a birthday on April 13. He is 37. Kiefer is 40 and looks years younger than Ricky!

AND

Kiefer acts circles around him!

Jack's Revenge

Something tells me that Cheng Zyi is going to learn what death by circuit board looks like!

You owe me TEYOP!

Jack is willing to take himself out. But Jack makes a good point. The Prez was going to leave him for dead to Fayed or Kumar on the way to White Castle

Wouldn't that Include?

Lets see Audrey will be with Jack and the C4 will take out anythinng within 30 feet, Uh how does this keep Audrey alive?

Shut Up!

Jack, it is so unattractive to see you beg!

Jack, How Can You Trust Bill?

I know he's a yogi...but not only did he not help you to escape from China, but he actually was giving you away to someone who was gonna kill you!

His intel on Awwdrey stunk, too.

Where is William Devane? I love him!

Ugh. Jack is calling TEYOP to whine?

Hey Jack

You thought Audrey was dead anyway so what's the difference.

Doyle has cotton in his mouth

I can't understand half of what he says. I thought he said "Why" to Bill when he said let me talk to him, but Doyle said "Hold on"

Doyle is looking awfully jowl-ly

Chloe and Morris...

So are they married or separated or divorced? What is their deal?

Awwdrey Looks Very "Quest for Fire"

ARGH Marines would NEVER do that

The marines would NOT bow down to Jack! No matter what he said! They would beat his @$$ down!

The Couple that Nukes Together

Maybe Chloe and Morris can each be responsible for the detonation of a suitcase nuke!

Morris is gonna change his mind: Chloe can't tell Bill that she's aided and abetted Jack.

TEYOP - The adrenline is still pumping

It's helping him grow a pair. Although wasn't he just passing out like 10 minutes ago having a convulsion?

Think about Evil Veep. This won't look good for you at all!

Excuse Me

Shouldn't someone be sending the NEST team some information!

Did the Evil Veep's Face Just Move?

Botox might be wearing off.

And TEYOP is firing him? No, I must have made a mistake...his face didn't move an iota. And it kind of looks lke he might have had a little bit of dental work done...the side of his face is a bit swollen.

(Or maybe the blonde Toady hauled off and gave him a roundhouse kick to the side of the head before she was dragged off to be duct taped to Chad Lowe.)

The Chinese Accent

When Cheng said "Mr Bauer..." all I could hear was Goldfinger saying "you can find a way Mr Bond"

Dammit. Way to go Chloe

We had our first Dammit from Chloe! Who knew!

Chloe can send anything to any cell phone!!

Hi LPK and F.E Thanks for joining us tonight. The Hubby is also here.

Chloe will run Point

Someone has to since Jack killed the ever handsome Curtis!

I thought the President Wanted it...

Didn't Doyle tell Jack that the TEYOP said the Marines were to take control of the briefcases? Also the Marines are not allowed near Nukes, that would be Navy or Air Force.

Finally! Chloe is Back.

More secret conversations between Jack and Chloe. Thank goodness.

What's with "the Chinese" being bad guys? And does Chloe really care if Audrey's life is at stake? I think there was a little tension there last season. (Although she is a pushover for Jack.)

Bring Nina back!

First Dammit! By Chloe...

Cheng "you'll find a way"

What they didn't say is "You always do".

Come on, Jack. World War III or AWWDREY. I'm thinking hmmm, I'm going to save the world from yet another war instead of AWWWDREY.

Male Bonding

Ricky says " I know you've been through hell, not just today, but um... the last couple years..." LOL

Namaste!

Are you ready? Maybe we should take some deep cleansing Yoga breaths?

Bauer Yoga: Tadasana

Here's Jack, in mountain pose. (He's just moving into the pose: he's about to set the gun down on the top stair, pull his left shoulder back to square with his right, let his arms hang down to the side naturally...and narrow his feet to hip distance.)

This pose builds stability and aligns all of one's parts optimally with the force of gravity.

(The force of gravity apparently bends to Jack's will in the 24-verse: he's demonstrating the pose for the benefit of all other beings.)

See everyone in about 36 minutes!
