Season Recap: OK, Now That I've Washed the Dishes...

Now, for the recap.

Dammit = 50, one each for Jack and Ricky, and 48 for members of The 24 Blog
Perimeter = 1
Women Proven to Be Stupid or Evil = 0, unless Chloe has coupled with the Devil, a la Rosemary
Paternity Proven = 0 (including Chloe's baby)
Dead Bauers = None proven (the jury is out on Phil)
Dead Presidents = unknown
Barf Bags Used = 1 ("M" for the tender scene with Jack in a World of Pain)
Silly, Improbable Occurrences (even by 24 standards) = at least 3...Jack leaving Phil alive; Jack on rope ladder, Milo's supposed brother coming to pick up his body
IT Staffers in Hand to Hand = 0...no Kali Eskrima or ju jitsu
28 year old Hotties = 1 (Milo's supposed brother is a stone fox, proof that he'll come back as a bad guy next season. "M" thinks that the bad guys who came for Josh had possibilities.)
Dead Black Men = 0 that we know of
Resurrections = 0
Hair Gel Moments = 1 that we mentioned, although "A" did notice Phil having an issue, but held back ("M" mentioned the Josh messed up Grandpa's Hair)
Times "A" held back = multiple, every time Bauer Spawn whined
Telepathy and Correct Predictions = 2 or more!
Evil Veep Facial Movements = 1 (He smiled and one of his eyes twitched when the corners of his mouth curved up.)

Well gang, we don't have much to say. It was two hours of air and fluff. Nothing really even blew up real good.
("M" disagrees, and thinks that when Jack made a dive for the rope ladder from the exploding oil platform, it was predictable; she was at least pleased that something blew up.)

There were all kinds of last minute loose ends tied up. Karen and BIll exonerated and left to retire to Vermont. (Bill will probably turn the barn into a yoga studio.) Chloe and supposedly Morris are going to be proud parents to spawn of Chloe. ("M" says this might be proof that she is stupid, but I disagree. ) Josh is rescued from Evil Grampa. Cheng, looking a bit like a barbecued chicken, in custody. Evil Veep ready to take a nap seems a bit less evil. Tom has redeemed himself by brokering Karen and Bill's exoneration, and also taken Evil Veep off the hook for conspiracy...

But, loose ends: what about TEYOP? Blonde Toady? Who is Jack's mom? What is up with Milo's brother? Why didn't Curtis' brother come to pick up his body? What about Sandra, Walid, etc. And "M" wants to know where the service for Kumar will be.

What will we do until January?

We had a great time with this, although I have to say that I'll be glad to let go of TV for a while. We had fun with our new friends, and suggest that we come back and give it a try again in January. We've had some thoughts about what we might post during the summer and fall, although probably not terribly often!

"M" and Friends, anything else to add????

Coming soon this summer - More Adventures of Man Purse!

Stand By for the ReCap

A is going to start it after a few minutes of reprocessing.

Excuse me but

I'm going to go throw UP

If she flat lined that would make up for it

Rrrrring! Ring!

Don't answer the phone. Don't answer the phone. Don't answer the phone.

Hmmm.

What is this, and where is it going?

Is he gonna shoot William in the knee or not?

And the Secretary of Defense has no perimeter? No body guards? No guns of his own?

Enter Jack

I'm here to see AWWdrey. LOL Is he going to kidnap her?

Good Work Nadia, Other Than Losing Milo

Maybe Jack is going back to Oil Field Chick.

Who is William on the phone with? Is that Jack outside the window, maybe kidnapping Awwdrey?

Or the Russians? Nope, it is Jack.

Sigh.

M was rightity right

She is PREGGERS LOL aaahhh LOL

"M" Called It!

And the season ends in one life affirming moment.

Let's not ruin it by saying something stupid. Like anything that the writers might put in your mouths might not be stupid? Good call to say nothing.

Tom, You Wily Fox

Getting your way with the evil Veep when he is too tired to disagree.

And then trading it back for the tape recording.

Hey, how is Blonde Toady doing?

Cue the inspiring music

The crisis is over, cue the music for the white house. Oh, the evil Veep needs a nappy!

Hey his face moved A LOT!

Who knew?!?

I knew that Bill was resiliant but a copter pilot? I'm trying to catch up, but I about lost it when Bill laid out the rope ladder! WOW I guess next we will find out about the spawn. We still have a half hour left. And Phil is so not dead! Come ON

Uncle Jack didn't fall he let go. THe Hubby said that he went surfing instead! Jack thought the waves looked too tasty! AHHhahahahah I've officially lost it. That look Jack gave before he dropped. UGH

They've Got Cheng

But they sholdn't have left Phil there.

Is Jack flying on a cable hanging down from the helicopter? Oh, please.

Now, Jack. Don't answer the phone. Don't answer the phone. Make it like a mantra. (Bill can teach you about mantras.)

And Suvarov believes the Evil Veep? And now a tender moment between the two of them?

Hubby? You OK?

The military strategy stuff has got to be getting to you.

Did Josh

Mess up grandpa's hair?!?

GO SPAWN

He needs more muscle.
He has that Bauer quick trigger finger though

Only 33 Minutes

To freedom.

How are they gonna work Awwdrey and sexy baby boomer William Devane back in?

Ah, Josh. Do it, shoot your Grampa (father?)

Jack, empathizing with Spawn. And now, Jack is going to kill his dad?

Don't blow up the 'Copter!

Cheng, you're about to get voted off the platform!

Poor Josh

What kid would want to die dressed like that?

Amazing

The Navy and the Coast Guard INSTANTLY set up a 5 mile area with ships, but its going to take F18 30 minutes

Russian

He looks a bit like Putin and sounds like a Scotsman

Not Suvarov Again!

Just send Jean Smart out shopping with Mrs. Suvarov again. It can all work out.

K Ville

Lets do a show on New Orleans. We won't have to pay anyone to use their house.

Faster?

Oh, my. A helicopter faster than an F18, this I must see

Devane and Awwdrey are Back

Someone please remind Jack. Don't pick up the phone after you've saved the world.

Although something tells me that when the oil rig blows, we won't know if Jack survives or not. Yawn.

I'll be back...

J is not happy boy

If Chloe Goes, I Don't Know if I Can Commit to Next Season!

Bring back Chloe. Bring back Chloe.

And I mean the real, pouty, petulant, insubordinate, weirdly dressed, neither stupid nor evil Chloe.

Chloe, Don't Pass Out on Us

I'm a little worried.

Evil Veep, Getting All Introspective!

Now, can he get his face to move (other than by the force of gravity)?

Bill and Karen have a country home in Vermont? Who will cover Bill's yoga classes at the LA Yoga Works?

And Karen was right, Jack was right...all of a sudden we're getting back to the real 24. Finally, Chloe -- thank you. "I'm on it." Finally.

Something tells me we're gonna see some cool effects when this oil platform blows up.

Poor Spawn & even poor ricky

I thought they were going to remove his arm. Thank goodness they didn't. No Gradenko. Sigh.... I'm not hopeful about the end of the season....

Nadia, ugh... She cares so much about the man that practically broke her in interrogation! UGH ARGH UGH

Ridiculous

Oh, no. They are scanning Josh.

Whew, thankfully they have better technology than Gradenko and Fayed did.

Ricky, stop your whining. Where is the trauma team? (And the 2 tac teams and LAPD????)

(And where is The Hubby?) "J" won't go to sleep. He wants to watch the finale. The Hubby is reading him another book trying to get him to calm down. His teeth are bugging him.... Poor guy

Nadia, being all Smoldery with Doyle on the Phone

Be careful!

This is where we last saw Gradenko, right? Maybe he's in that boat.

Another Dammit by Ricky

Now what is up with Milo's brother disappearing. And what is with Ricky and the Spawn .... your country needs you. COME ON! If it wasn't the season finale, I'd be close to being outta here. The writers didn't listen when we told them to step away from the Red Bull and organic blue corn tortilla chips! ARRGH I say again!

Second Dammit

Ricky (the crowd goes wild).

And, narrating the whole scenario with Jack and Bill knowing where he is, and coming after him, in front of Josh.

If Josh is any kind of real Bauer, he's gonna know how to work around Ricky to get with Jack and Bill to kick his Grampa's insaniac backside!

Is Milo's Brother Giving Nadia a Smoldery Glance?

Eew. Maybe he didn't drive across post nucular LA at 4 am just to get Milo's dead body.

Can you say Inappropriate timing

Come ON! I don't think that they would have even NOTIFIED next of kin until AFTER the crisis is over!

And a tender moment between Bill and Karen. She is so under arrest, but for the greater good. They can break her out after they save Josh!

Did I Just Call That Guy a "Stone Fox"?

Hee hee.

And Milo's brother has apparently already been notified of his death, what, 2 hours ago. It takes 2 hours to drive across LA when there hasn't been a nucular blast!.

Split screen montage, Karen getting arrested, Bill and Karen tender moment.

Who is that Stone Fox?

Chloe's brother?

Poor Morris!

He can't win for losing.

I'm really not loving Ricky at all.

Wait, is that Jack? How did he escape? Did I miss something. A ha!!!! Jack and Bill finally go rogue together!

Trouble at CTU

They need to sedate Marilyn. And I believe that there is going to be a mutiny at CTU regarding the orders about Josh. Where the heck is Jack????? Is Karen going to set him free with that security code? How is Bill going to help? When is the hubby going to be done putting J down. Why aren't my question being answered.

oops there is Bill! Using his calming yogi voice

Medical Interrogation?

Not exactly.

But they may need to medically restrain Marilyn. In addition to her son being taken from her grasp, she's running low on time, as she probably wants to get back over to Heroes for the season finale there.

ARRGGGHHH

I'm just shaking my head with this, this, this.... horrible dialog. UGH. Ricky going all tender and possibly rogue. That was a tender moment too between them

Karen should use the Jack Tracker

Hopefully Josh is an Adult CTU Agent Next Season

Or an adult terrorist.

Anyone who can kick Ricky's @$$ for turning a scared adolescent over to his evil Grampa!

"M", I hope our dad doesn't go rogue between now and when "J" and "T" are in high school!

Bill Don't fall for it

Get it in writing. She has already left you out to dry!!! But at least Bill and Jack will be all rogue


Our first perimeter!

Karen's Comment

"He [Jack] has been more right than we have today" Well, DUH Jack is always more right than everybody on the show.

Enter Bill B. Karen asking for help I bet!

Her we are in our places

with our bright shiny faces.

I love the incredulous look on Josh's face. He and Doyly do look alike!

And YES Jack is under arrest AGAIN. How many times is that now?

Has Josh Been Watching

Didn't he see what happened to the last guy they gave the locating device to? (Oh, yeah...poor Gradenko.)

And he can probably also see that 2 tac teams and the LAPD (post nucular blast, when they don't have anything else to do) aren't a match for Grampa!

And why is the Evil Veep still only the Vice President????

Dammit Chloe! first dammit. And Jack clearly agrees with me -- Grampa definitely has a better plan than CTU.

What do you suppose Phil, Jack and Graeme did for fun when Jack was a kid? (I'll bet they played Risk.)

And for Grampa, safe passage to the country of his choice. Might this be, Fayed's country?
