The Recap 3am - 4 AM

By Monday at 10 PM EDT, we will have spent a FULL day watching TV. Hmmmm I'm not sure that is such a good thing in this case. I'd rather watch Zoboomafoo (http://pbskids.org/zoboo/); it has some exciting things, live wild animals and a cool lemur!! Although "A" point out that Marilyn looks a little bit like a lemur and she is right!

Here is the recap:

Dammits = 1 (I think we probably missed some again in all the "excitement". Kate, Tai or LPK, did we?)
Perimeters= 1
Jack begging= 0
Eeewww = 3 (Blonde Toady, Peeping Tom and my icky thoughts of Phil and Marilyn)
Number of episodes remaining= 1 interminably long two hour finale
Characters in need of hair gel or hair gel lessons= 2 (Cheng and Phil)
Men that have turned from Evil to Stupid = 1 the Veep
Face movements by the stupid wussy Veep (formerly the Evil Veep) = 2 we think
Number of times we pinched ourselves to stay awake= 1 or 2 -- I had to pinch "A" but that was for fun!
Number of Times "A" and "M" yelped in unison = at least 2
IT Team members going all Rambo = 4 (Nadia, Morris, Chloe and "M" -- when I was pinching "A" to stay awake)
Times we repeated each other's thoughts=2 at least
Times wondered "Whhhyy are we still watching this season?"= countless
New terrorists who are HOT but now dearly departed = 1
Cool visual effect = 1 the green glowy sewage they were sloshing through below CTU

Questions we still have:
Has Jack has his tetanus booster shot or his Diptet? How are his floating rib fragments and internal bleeding?
Will Awwdrey come back this season or the TEYOP for that matter?
Is the Blonde Toady alive or dead? Do we really care?
Will the Veep's botox continue to wear off and show more facial movements?
Will Bill ever talk to Karen again? Or has he been speaking to an attorney in post nucular LA?

WHERE IS JACK'S MOM, and NINA??

Are we ever going to find out the seedy details that Marilyn is hiding from Jack? Who is the Spawn's father? Graeme? Jack or dare I say Phil. EEEEWWWWW.

Will the Spawn be old enough by next season to replace Jack?

What are we going to do with the extra hour of free time on Monday nights?

Some of our questions were answered:

The previews show that Bill is back. I wonder if Jack and Bill are going to go all rogue on Ricky's @$$.

Next week promises some good gun fights and a building blowing up with Jack jumping out on what appears to be a zip line. Will he make it?? Stay tuned!!

Good night all. Thanks for joining us!

(And "A" saying, over and out. Thanks for joining us and/or visiting our blog!)

OK A Quick Recap is On the Way

And I must note my (faux) excitement about what we've seen in the preview. Bill Buchanan's return, and Jack's yogic pronunciation that he'd rather die doing the right thing. (Which is, in brief, of course the message of the sacred yoga text, the Bhagavad Gita...that you must do your sacred duty regardless of the results you anticipate.)

Good News

The Alexander Hamilton documentary hasn't started yet. Its just like 24 it will end in a gunfight.

Jack, You Never Learn!

Don't Take The Call! Don't Take the Call!

Jack have you learned NOTHING

Never take the phone call!! have you learned Nothing

Fathers Day

Hey "M" I want one of those fancy PDA's. My Blueberry doesn't get schematics like that, I've tried.

Phil Bauer Calling Evil Veep?

Does every Bauer have a direct line to the White House?

Phil: Now I'm working for you, Mr. VP

Russian Spies are quick

It would seem like the Russians have faster spies than we do.

Evil Veep movement

his face moved it moved!!! It was in his mouth area!!!! I think it was involuntary thought. We don't have TIVO here in the living room so we missed the bad english

Cisco Product Placement

IT heroes in CTU...maybe most of the people who are still watching are IT professionals.

(By 2012, though, I would think that all of the world leaders would have the HP Halo system. I hear it is very cool teleconferencing technology that makes you think you're right there with people halfway around the roo,)

Did Karen just smirk when Suvarov tore into Evil Veep?

Evil Veep, seeing reality. The ruse bought you nothing. Didn't I just say that a few posts ago? Wouldn't it have been easier to just tell the truth?

Spoke?

I've backed it up a couple of times. I think she said "Can I spoke to him"

EEEEWWW thought

What is Phil if Josh's real dad and that is why he is the legacy! marilyn is there any Bauer you haven't done??

Marilyn Knows Something

She's gonna have to spill.

Karen -- a new job calling

She would be great in the position of talking down a jumper or a hostage negotation

Evil Veep's Face Almost Moved!

He is a little upset about Blonde Toady's injuries.

What is up with Karen. Her character has totally lost its center.

Fast

Well everything except, well...that.

How tender

Boy Morris that was a heck of a pep talk!!

Ben Kram

He is awfully fresh and perky for 3 AM. Also quite swarmy!

Ben Kram???

Finally, the guy from Division. Ya think he might be related to Peter Hock? Maybe cousins of some sort.

And stealing from last season, Ben comes in and insults the sitting (acting) head of CTU.

By next season, Ben and Nadia will be married?

Sweet of Morris to give Nadia that little bit of coaching.

Tom you are like the terrorists

Tom you are giving up way too much information to the bad BF! He is going to get away and tell the Russians

Phil Really Did Get Some Hair Gel

And, ah, it is Phil who was fixing the circuit board. I didn't pick up on that last week.

There's Cheng, with the fake TV "Chinese" accent...and Phil, refusing to return the circuit board because Cheng didn't deliver "The Package"

Phil is kind of like the help desk at most computer electronics companies! Cheng, I told you you should have just gone to Radio Shack and bought one for yourself.

Tom needs a man purse

He needs a medi-interrogation accessory

Lisa, He's Onto You

Can the guys get in fast enough from the surveillance truck to save her life?

Tom says, "This is not good."

Mom and I think

That the BF has slipped her a mickey

Dirty girl

she needs another shower after that! Dirty birdy

This is where the BF finds the camera!

You're the VEEP

There are entire agencies to know what your poeple are doing behind your back.

EWWWW x3

Don't tell me this stuff! And now she is counselling the Evil Veep whose face still hasn't moved yet!>|?!?

Great breathing sound effectes and Tom is now criticing their performance! EEEEW

Evil Veep

I'm glad you've explained this whole thing (again). This is the first time I've understood all of the ins and outs of the Lisa/Twenty Eight Year Old Boyfriend/Russian connection.

So, we're puling this whole operation together to lie to the Russians, involving having a White House employee filmed making whoopee with a Russian spy; putting her life at risk...and all of the people in the truck...uploading the erroneous data to the PDA so that the Russians will think that the Americans have thwarted the Chinese plot.

Wouldn't it just be easier to tell the truth?

Dammit and Perimeter!

All in one scene.

And finally, out of the mouths of babes...Josh happened to notice that Grampa is out of his gourd. (He didn't say anything about the hair gel; or about Cheng's apparent need. Cheng, dude, a little dab'll do ya!)

Jack, making the un-Jack Bauer-ish decision to let Cheng go to save Josh. Why does CTU never set the perimeter until after the terrorist slips away? What is the point of the perimeter?

Sigh. I'm starting to miss Awwdrey.

sHoot Cheng or get him some hair gel

jack you should have shot him when you had the chance, And we have a dammit and ricky is setting up a perimeter

Nice moves Jack

I love the slide and shoot! Jack is moving quite nicely with all his internal bleeding!

And Spawn just did a nice Bauer-esque move!

Hi Hubby and LPK

Family Business

Come on now Josh don't you want to be part of the Family business? Well the evil side at least.

Split Screen Montage

And now Grandpa is taking Josh to China? (Maybe they are digging their way to China, underneath CTU.)

Aaagh! Jack, don't shoot your nephew/son! Shame on you, Cheng, for using a kid a shield. That is typical 24 terorrist behavior!

Bauer Spawn

Josh looks an awful lot like...Little Ricky?????

Clean Up in aisle 2

What does it take for the cleaning crew to get to this blood? And can someone find a bag for this body.

"M" comment.... they will need to call Crime Scene Cleanup http://www.crimeclean-up.com/

I am An American Express Cardmember!

We're getting some kind of special 24 "debrief"?

Or maybe instead of a debrief, for cardmembers, a "de-derail"...start the season over from from where it went wrong (somewhere around the time that Karen picked up O Magazine while at the airport after abandoning her job)?

two women two WOPS

They are both in a WOP. And now jack has on a girdle? That should help with the floating rib fragments

Jack Can Talk Without Moving His Lips!

And Chloe is back! Now she can go into the server room.

The IT community of CTU is somehow taking the Chinese. Which leads me to ask, how did the Chinese take CTU in the first place?

And Ricky is back to save Nadia. Everyone is fine. Except for Jack's nephew/son.

Jack is now no longer under arrest, but is under Ricky's command.

Jakc is staging a coup

He is going to have the IT director I mean CTU director go all commando, I mean Rambo?!?!? Morris too, I need more training apparently in IT!

Jack, oh no

His floating rib fragments are going to come in to play now! And Marilyn your time in the soaps haven't helped your hysterical crying.

"M" Says That Chloe is Pouting in the Server Room

Where is Chloe, and is she going to be able to help?

And can't they use a little duct tape on Marilyn to "keep her quiet"?

Perimeter is set

The perimeter is set in our Parents living room and we are ready to blog! "J" is probably with The Hubby with the Man Purse back at home. The hubby is going to try to blog later. Are you ready?!?!?

Ready, "M"?

We're blogging live here in the suburbs of Chicago!

What can possibly happen tonight that hasn't happened in a previous season? What can possibly be worth another 3 hours of our lives?

What will we do on Monday nights after next week???
