WTH - there was a perimeter
That car would not have been able to leave the parking garage, no way no how!!! It's late... I must sign off for now. Come back soon for the rest of the show!
Who knew the blackberries were so durable.
I mean, I've dropped mine several times andit's been okay. I guess I can fly off of a parking structure in my HUGE SUV and it'll be fine. I guess all I need now is a gas guzzling SUV.

Some how that is what I think it would look like

YAY more Buzz words & prediction
A Dammit for Jack and Cole chimes in with a perimeter! I foresee an SUV flying through the air..... Annnnnd another Dammit! We are up to three this first hour.
Arlo is toast
There is no way he is going to make it out of the server room. Bridezilla's fake smile is so irritating UGH.
"A" says, don't ever go into the server room without a buddy. Shouldn't all of the CTU denizens know that by now?

Yeah, Let's Have The Family In The "Situation" Room
Brilliant...if something goes wrong, they can see it on TV/
And Bridezilla, you're going to get yours.
Perimeter!

Perimeter!
Girl Power
I thought that Mme President and Renee would hug. But no, they're just calling a car service to take her back to CTU.
One thing, did you notice how earlier Jack yelled "Taxi"? NB: only tourists try to get a cab that way.

Renee, unrogued
that's sort of like unplugged. What, no hug? I thought this was a kinder gentler adminsitration. BTW, I think the president is going to give Rob a spanking if he doesn't tell her where the POTIR is.
No WAY.
Even I know that you NEVER EVER EVER open a vehicle door when there may be a bomb in it. What if it was booby trapped. What was that guy thinking!!!???? That was a rookie mistake, but he was lucky.
Jack at Street level
He totally would have said Dammit there!! And come on, now. Is it ever that easy to get a taxi in NYC?
Jack, on a cell phone?
Did he really just say, "Can you hear me now?" I guess they use Verizon. But I didn't see the Verizon guy in the tunnel, did you? Hey, it's the first time they ever eluded to the fact that they sometimes have poor cell signal.
Death at a Funeral Remake NOOOOO
What are they doing? The original Death at a Funeral was HILARIOUS. I am not going to watch that one! NO I WON'T
Tarin is going to go good?
I think Tarin is going to change his mind. ooops, nope But phew... 7 seconds! That was close!
Mrs. Hassan, Ethan and General B
Mrs Hassan is so passionate about him ? I exptected to hear her singing Lionel Ritchie "Suddenly, you are in love!"
I guess Ethan isn't faking it!
General B steps up to bat with a dammit!! WOOT
I guess Ethan isn't faking it!
General B steps up to bat with a dammit!! WOOT
Okay, I'm watching, not live,but...
But it's the same day. I'm not going to be able to watch both hours. I will post date them so they show up at the proper time
Previously on 24, and A Change
Ok, let's see what happened last week.
The President and her team are sequestered on a military base in NJ. (Why they didn't go back to DC is kind of odd. Whatever.) The bad guys, of course, put in a call to Madame President, probably on her cell, to give her an ultimatum: unless she hands over President Hair Gel to them, they are going to unleash nucular bombs that will kill a swath of my fellow New Yorkers.
After further credible conversing with CTU to determine the reality of this situation, she decides that she's not going to deal with terrorists --- and that Jack Bauer must personally escort the President of the Islamic Republic and his family through an improbable tunnel between the UN and New Jersey.
(And of course, it turns out that Jack, although shot, has not been wounded. His body armor took the brunt of the bullet. He might have a broken rib...but nothing like that can stop Jack. He agrees to take the President's assignment, bringing Renee with him at her insistence.)
While she and her cabinet debate the issue of dealing with terrorists, one of her senior military advisors, a General, decides that the solution is treason. He and the president's scaly senior aide, Rob, agree to circumvent the President's authority. We see them attempting to hack into Ethan's laptop to find info for the word on POTIR's whereabouts, so that they can turn him over to the bad guys themselves. Ethan walks in on them, and before it comes to total fisticuffs, he appears to succumb to a heretofore unrevealed heart issue. He has Jack on speed dial, and gets off a call, but is unable to get through.
The General who is running the coup op bullies Rob into withholding medical care from Ethan, until they've captured or killed Jack and the other agents escorting the President of the Islamic Republic...they send a special ops team to meet them at the outside of this odd and improbable tunnel they're traversing.
Dana, aka Bridezilla, as it turns out, is working with the head bad guy. She's conversing with him from time to time from her desk at CTU, as he directs Tarin to drive the now armed bomb up to the Upper West Side, presumably to blow himself up with 100,000 of my uptown neighbors. (Though I rarely go that far uptown.)
Jack keeps trying to call Ethan from his march through this oddly cluttered tunnel. (It looks like a movie representation of a museum basement, stick dry and filled with crates.) When he can't get through, he gets suspicious, and tells his team to turn back.
When they turn back, the special forces guys come into the tunnel after them. Gunfire ensues, along with a chase scene and the usual number of bodies. Jack learns about the covert op from one of the poorly directed members of the national service, who seems to have understood and agreed to participate in this treasonous op.
Jack sends Renee, the President and his family back. More gunfire. And boom. POTIR, having somehow gotten his hands on a gun, gets a shot off against one of the bad guys, saving Jack's life.
As the show closes, it appears that Tarin has misgivings about his mission to blow up the Upper West Side, and POTIR is contemplating turning himself over to the bad guys.
(Wouldn't it be delicious if POTIR was in on this whole thing?)
And on a side note, I won't be live blogging tonight, for the first time in many years. (More on that in my next post.) I hope that M can chime in at some point. We'll catch up tomorrow.
"M" says: Hubby just got home at 9 CDT and now both kids are in bed. I'll have to try to watch and post notes. Maybe I'll do that as I do "step" on the Wii
