Recap

Another 120 minutes of brainnumbing excitement.

Dammit = 3
Jack's in a World of Pain = 2
Women Proven to be Stupid or Evil = so far, 0
Good Looking Terrorists = too many to count! They were all hot!
Jack Bauer Body Count < 3
Credulity stretching uses of technology <3 (one firewall for the whole country, haha; being able to hack the ATC system, even if it is outmoded, with stuff shoplifted from Radio Shack); instantaneous transmission of Tony's resurrection and new terrorist identity)

Questions: Will Nina come back, and be stupid instead of evil? What about Kim? Is Tony really evil? Where is Chloe? How about Morris? Is that guy from Michigan gonna come back and resurrect the 24 Kill Count blog?

M, the rest is down to you. Anything else on the recap, predictions, questions, let em rip!

M says: I predict that Jack will save the day in the end. I have a meeting tomorrow, so I'm going to miss it live, but will catch up on TIVO

WOP!

Jack is totally in a world of pain! (2nd time, for recapping purposes...if we're recapping for the 2 hour timeframe...)


M says: It's two hours!?!? Oh man, this is really cutting into my Guitar Hero time!

Total WOP... "Tony, what happened to you? What happened!"

Did Tony Get a Haircut at 9:15?

His hair was longer on the last episode

I predict, dead guy

What do you think?


M says: Several actually...

The laptop deleting files...

UGH, if you have any training in PC forensics you know to pull the battery and the plug. Not just say dammit!!

Jack said dammit... that is #3

Jack has issues.....

Jack really needs to work on his anger management. and for the hot terroristbeing kicked in the face, he looks awesome... right up until the whole gun shot wound thing

We Need The Hubby To Weigh In

But can you just take any old gun out of the trunk of a car and be ready to shoot it? Don't you need to know how the specific gun works?

I mean, I guess that this would apply more to your average LEO, and not Jack...but still.


M says

The hubby is on story duty with the little one

No Blonde Terrorists Allowed!

That would make it too easy for us to tell one of them from another.

Private words Sam, are going to be dangerous

She is so dead

Renee is pretty smooth!

but I think that she is about to be in a heap of trouble. Ooo and she is getting tracked via GPS

Renee!

First Dammit, from Renee.

(and he's not just her boss, is he?)

"M"! "M"! Where are you?


All of the nation's infrastructure is tied to 1 firewall? I kinda can't believe that, but need an IT professional's perspective...

***M is here.... One firewall, "I don't think so Tim". M is shaking her head!

I have more firewalls!

The perimeter has been breached!

Tony, back from the dead, evil. Now is the FBI chick evil or stupid? And if you had the Subway commercial with the buttons popping off of pants.... that was disturbing! The Hubby printed out a "scorecard" for me.....

Has Jack killed anyone yet? And why was his morning so hectic? I came in late... plink plink it's starting

Here Goes Jack!

He and Renee are going rogue!

(But isn't she gonna leave anyone on point?)

The Physics of Information on 24

Yeah, in less than 50 minutes, everyone from Janeane Garofalo to the President knows who Tony is, that he's not dead, and that he's part of a domestic terrorist ring.

Ah, Jack. Now you're showing the new Obama-Bauer agenda.

(And actually, even under Bush -- can you say 8 more days -- apparently military leaders met with the producers of 24 to discuss what a negative influence the show was on the people who provide service to our country. Gimme a minute and I'll find a link.)

Bring 'Em On

More good looking bad guys!

(And like all gangs on 24, the bad guys all kind of look alike.)

Tony's Not Gonna Let Them Collide

It is just a show of their power.

Sniper -- Dude!

He's also cute!

I Agree WIth Jack

It is an inside thing.

I think it's Janeane. She may be anxious, but I am not thinking she's stupid.

Now Renee is stupid. Does she think they can hold Jack? Just because she said so?

ATC

I can't imagine how Air Traffic Control actually works. It really is a miraculous thing.

Tony has a whole Mephistopheles thing going on, that little moustache and mean look.


She Wants You To Shoot Him In The Knee

That didn't take long.

Tony!!!?

Cognitive Dissonance

The guy's name is Gabriel Schechter and he has an Irish-ish accent? In 24 land, shouldn't he have a German accent? (or Israeli?)

You Know What Would Help?


Janeane needs a little yoga.

I can recommend an excellent teacher.

Too bad they aren't still in LA, they could pick up his Lunch Flow class.

RIng Tone

This new non-CTU has a different ring tone than the old one. Sigh, I miss the old one.

I miss Chloe. Eggar.

We smelled that the president's son (now dead, did I miss something? I thought his toady friend died!) had an eeeevil girlfriend.


M's comment: Bring back Eggar from the dead!!!! and what is this about the ring?!? Tht was my favorite!! I wanted that for MY ringtone. My doctor's office has it even!

President Cherry Jones, Stupid or Evil?

And was the guy she was squeezing hands with in the Oval Office her husband?

Are we gonna see Logan or the Evil Veep (aka ex-President)...

The Secretary of State, another babe. He's sure to be eeeeevil.

And since when do commercial planes between National and JFK have such fancy kitchens?

Preliminary Scorecard

Tender Glance = 1

Renee can see that Jack is in a World of Pain (WOP)

WOP = 1
Good looking Terrorists = 2

Now, I'm curious. What the heck can they actually do to the plane? (i.e. that would be "interesting", given everything we've seen and imagined already?)

If Tony Is Still Alive...

Bring Back Nina! Bring Back Nina! Bring Back Nina!

B-Rex

I love the guy who plays the lead terrorist.

Wait, Tony is a Terrorist????????

Oh, Yeah, Looks Like There's Gonna Be Some Turbulence

Between Jack and Renee!

Same Time Tomorrow Morning?

I don't think so. Jack will need some sleep after he saves the world again.

Jeaneane!!!!!!

And Latham, "M", do you remember when he turned into worms on Buffy? (I have a scary memory for bit players on the few shows I follow...)

Cue Patriotic Music

Jack is about to be activated?

"M" is bathing J. That is the cleanest kid I've ever seen.

Another Bad Day -- And Not Just For Jack

Jack don't need no stinkin' lawyer.
