Yoga Pose of the Week: Warrior II

Warrior II requires a solid gaze forward, across the front middle finger. In yoga, we use the Sanskrit word dristi to indicate the kind of gaze that accompanies pure focus.

Of course, Jack needed a similar skill when he shot one of Vlad's toadies through that clouded corrugated glass. And even though he's been handicapped by bad writing, Jack is a Warrior...doing his duty, even in the face of difficult choices and the chance of an unsatisfactory outcome.

Recap: 10pm - 11pm

Hours before shark was jumped =5 (last episode)
Dammit=1
Bauer Kills = at least 2 (Vlad's toadies)
Hair Gel Moments = 4 that we counted
Jack being tender =1
Jack being ruthless = multiple
Stuff blowing up = not so much
Perimeters =0
Pointless -- more so that usual -- plot moves =at least 1 -- what was up with the improbable convo between Madame President and the Brit?
Estimated Hours we can handle watching this show? Not sure. "M" might be close. "A" keeps hoping.

When will MethHead Kevin finally go? Can we possibly cut down the plot lines to maybe only 4 or 5?

(Did you check Bridezilla in the preview, telling Cole, "There are things about my past I haven't told you...like 10 minutes ago I became an accessory to an assault on a police officer". "M" tells me that she doesn't think he's dead. I hope not.")

Sigh. We're spent.

The Old Escape Via the Underground Tunnel Move

Hmmm. They should be able to pick up Jack now via GPS, no?

This isn't holding together.

Montage TIme

"M" is right. There are far too many story lines, and most of them insipid.

Wait, what is this? Oh, CTU finally arriving at Vlad's. (Vlad, the Impaled.)

"M" says hahahahaha Too bad Mr. Summers didn't take out Vlad

What color?

I'm thinking about painting my nails. Maybe a nice ruby red to commemorate Renee's stabbing. Perhaps there is a Rogue Red?

And I Still Have my Sense Of Smell

Uh, I wouldn't give Renee a weapon if I were you.

I Smell A Bad Guy

Not CTU?

Tender Jack

"You've got me."

Eew.

Hastings

QUALITY Jack right there

Yes, There is the Jack we know and love. He gets a gut wound from Renee and is still able to throw a knife with accuracy over a couch. And wow, Renee, I think you need some anger management or PTSD counseling!!!

Prediction, Totally True

hah.

Aaaagh, she stabbed Jack?

too many story lines

Okay, we have
Bridezilla and Kevin,
Kayla and Tarin
Vlad and Renee
Jack
Mr. Summers (Freddie Prinze Jr. is married to Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
The president and Jack Lord
Bad Dad and Josef

I am so confused

Ah, An Illicit Affair

Faline and Tarin.

She's probably not supposed to be alone with a man who is not her husband.

(And, hello accent police, she has the same accent that her uncle does. Some of the Islamic President's family members and staff were educated at Oxford -- others, in Bollywood.)

What A Surprise

Bridezilla, your MethHead Boyfriend is about to kill a police officer.

Dammit. Hardly captures the moment.

Bridezilla isn't too bright

Dammit from the burglar guy, ... Ah yes, Kevin.

Haz Mat Lab at Fort Hamilton?

Hey, they teach yoga classes there. They had better not be endangering any yogis.

Madame President

You can't trust Jack Lord.

And now Jack is asking for "whatever pressure is necessary?" That's crazy, everyone knows that you you can't apply that kind of pressure unless Jack is involved.

"M", You're So Right

I'm not even understanding why Jack and Renee needed Vlad. Why couldn't they go directly to Josef's Dad? (Igor? am I remembering that correctly? and don't the writers either know any actual Russians -- or do any research? Every Russian man I know is either named Alex, or has about 15 friends named Alex...)

Vlad is such a tool

Now Renee is calling the shots? Vlad, you tool.

And Speaking of Hair Gel

Can we get some for Renee, too?

Hmm just starting to teach Josef consequences?

A little late there dad. And really, he needs some hair gel.

haha! Bad Dad needs to learn how to use his words.

Hair Gel, Please

Sergei, aka bad dad, needs a spot of hair gel.

Potato, Po-tah-to

Nuclear, nucular...so far Arlo and Bad Dad have used the Obama pronunciation of the word...

Let's call the whole thing off.

And Father Gregor, he's kind of hot.

That Knife Is Going to Be Used for More Than Bread

Vlad, you're toast.

Cut Me Some Bread?

Huh?

"M", Are You There?

How about all of these 4 digit security codes?

Rule Number 1: Don't Go in The Server Room!

Bridezilla, this is pretty much a cardinal rule of 24.

Jack, Going In Without Backup

Haven't you learned your lesson?

Bridezilla, you're never going to be able to keep all of those balls in the air.

And Chloe, the style capital of the world has definitely helped you to upgrade your look!

Don't Trust The Brit

They're backstabbing so-and-sos.

Oh, It Wasn't The Good Looking Guy

Jack Lord is having the good looking guy arrest one of his other people.

Book 'em, Dan-O.
