Yoga Pose of The Day: Restorative Legs Up The Wall

This week was a bit of a pit stop before we waste, I mean spend the next 3 hours of our lives in the 24-verse for the season.

The rest we got tonight was time to restore, and settle ourselves. Legs up the wall pose has a couple of advantages. It's an inversion, which gives you the benefits of the headstand without the effort...and also, it is a good thing to try if you're experiencing difficulty sleeping. Or if you just need to take a break and seriously rest.

You don't need all of the blankets and eyepads...those just make the pose even juicier and more restorative.

If only Jack had 15 minutes to spend in legs up the wall pose!

Recap

Dammit =2
Dead Screen Icons =1
IT Professionals off task=1 (Janeane transferring a perp into witness protection)
Perimeters =0
Resurrections =0
Women proven stupid =1 (Olivia, now both stupid and evil)
Women proven evil =0
Explosions =1
Dead Handsome Black Men =0 (low body count today...)
Stereotypes = multiple
Participation in Tactical Operations by Men with Degenerative Brain Diseases =1
Abuse of Religious Leaders by Rogue Federal Agents in the service of anti-terrorist activities =1

Sigh. The story moves on, but without the juice of last week...where, oh where is the canister?

Spoiler alert: it looks like Kim will be back next week. And Tony will be in Jack's reach!

"M" says: If Jack does do Tony in, he will have to kill him as if he were a vampire! I also am guessing that Aaron may have "helped" Oilivia. Something, sadly, looked shady about the was Aaron was looking at her afterwards.

Dammit

Again, someone else bleeding out before he can out his evil friends.

And Hamid, pretty adept to smash the mirror and slice the guy. Maybe both of these supposed patsies are actually bad guys. (Or maybe they watch too much TV.)

Credible

Let the guy with the degenerative brain disease run point...

Aha, Blackmail...

Aaron knows that something is up...they didn't bring him back just to hold doors for Oilivia.

Inside Job

First Dammit, from Mme. President.

Oh, yeah.

Called That One

Boom.

It Might Be Too Late, Olivia

I'm suspecting that pressing "cancel" wasn't enough to stop the train from leaving the station.

And where is "M"? Have she and her family gone into their backyard bomb shelter?


"M": I liked the "Execute" verbage on the webpage! We were getting tires for the minivan! Alas, the bomb shelter was removed. There really honestly was one in the '60s. In the hot summer you can see the outline where the old cement leaches all the moisture from the grass :-)

Time For Aaron To Save Olivia

from herself...

Incredible

Talk about profiling -- in case we were worried that 24 had gotten too PC, don't worry, here's the angry Imam.

Sigh.

Wait

Janeane is transferring Hodges into witness protection?

I thought she was in IT!

And Hodges, if you won't use the therapy, maybe they'll have hot stone massages and seaweed wraps, at the Colorado witness protection transition facility. It's like a spa for treasonous psychotic criminals like yourself. (Yoga could help...you can use your new life to make some needed changes!)

Spoiler Alert

Jibrhan has got to be a real terrorist. Nobody could be so cool and on the spot like this. Maybe he'll be the one who takes Tony down!

Jack, You Should Be In West Arlington Hospital

That's where they treat all the VIPs. Morris can come on in and give you a ride over.

NB: he's got "a day, maybe two". Hello, next season?

Morris can give him a babu (have we found out what that is?!?!?!?!)

Political Correctness...

it'll get you nowhere, Janis/Janeane.

Oops, Renee spills the beans again! Jack's gonna be might POd.

Regular People

They're such patsies.

Previously on 24: 3am - 4am

Sorry, it wasn't a yawn last week, but a giant explosion is about to happen -- in my kitchen. I've got to empty the cabinets before some work can get done tomorrow...this stuff always takes forever. And I'm not done yet!

That said, a few highlights of last week.

Jack: still dying
Tony: still re-evil and part of a conspiracy that involves Canisters, an evil chick, killing a guy in the bathroom, with a shower curtain (Professor Plum was nowhere in evidence), and then showering apparently around the dead guy's still-warm body
Oilivia: still evil, and now plotting to murder Daddgelina
Chloe: still pouty, and back to bring up the CTU servers, on the order of President Madame
Mme. President: still micromanaging: after ordering the CTU servers recommissioned, I think she went off camera to rack them up herself, and then to sign off on the White House bi-weekly payroll
Daddgelina: alive after he "took the pill", and being threatened by Jack, who wants to know who is in charge of the next scheduled attack (aka Tony's boss)
First Man: probably in the next room over from Angelina's dad in good old West Arlington Hospital
Eggar, Teri (grandma, not baby), David Palmer, and Bill: all still dead
Nina: if Tony can come back, can't she?
Kim: still stupid
Other Bauers: still MIA
