Recap

Dammit = 1 (Mr. President)
Women Proven Stupid or Evil = 0 -- although Simone, definitely co-dependent
Desk jockeys running point =1
Perimeter = 0
Handsome black men killed = TBD.   We may have lost Steve.
Improbable convos between the Leader of the Free World and mid-level bureaucrats/field agents = several
Tender love story plotlines = 2

Jack is so back.   Giving ultimatums (ultimata?) to the President.   Touching foreheads with Awwwdrey.  Giving his word.   Offering to save the world.   And Mr. President goes all tactical.   So 24.

Is Tate Donovan bound to turn out to be a bad guy?   Or just to be bested by Jack?  Will we see the British PM and his blonde factotum again, and will she turn out to be either stupid or evil?

Will the treaty with the British fall through?   And if so, will it be war?

Will Kim Bauer turn up?   Will anyone lament Eggar's absence?  (Bring back Nina!   Bring back Nina!)

Lots of people on Twitter are commenting that Jack didn't have much screen time.   Are they setting up Kate (aka #ChuckChick...wish I had made that one up) to be Jack's successor?

What would rock more than Jack Bauer?  24 with a female protagonist.

Next week, it looks like Mr. President authorizes Jack to save the world.

Bloop, bloop!

RIP, Desk Jockey

Benjamin Bratt, not long for the 24-verse...sigh.

(I hope he doesn't take Kate's handsome partner with him.   Handsome black men have had a better survival rate on this season of 24 vs. prior years.)

And with Jack in exile, what year is it on 24?   2020?   If so, what was up with Chloe asking Kate to upload via 4G?

Did net neutrality really die?

Kim and Jack!

I'm getting a little verklempt.

It's tender.   And it's complicated.

Desk Jockey

Benjamin Bratt will be running point on the invasion of the terrorist's estate. 

In a suit and tie.

Awwdrey's Husband

Why haven't I figured out what his job is.   Is he the Veep?

Might he be another Evil Veep, as I saw intimated on Twitter?

Sadly...

We have had no calls for a Perimeter this season.   (And I haven't taken time to figure out how to link Twitter to Blogger.  There's gotta be a way.)

Dammit!

And now Awwwdrey's husband is fauxpologizing.  

We're on again!
