And Logan Survives Another Day?

We'll see.

Maybe Chloe will whack him.

Dammit Chloe!

Like they are going to believe that Chloe could drop Jack!

Renee Wouldn't Want You to Do This!

Chloe, Renee wasn't all that noble when she was using that bone saw to remove that Russian mobster's thumb!

Technology

Even though cell phones work everywhere, and you can send schematics of any building to someone's PDA on demand, Jack still has to hold the microphone bud close to his mouth in order to be heard.

Heh.

Viewer Discretion Is Advised

If only we had heeded this warning 23 hours ago...

Prediction True!?

Yes! We knew that Jack wasn't going to let Logan slide.

Hah.

Split Screen Montage

Sigh, nostalgia. Probably one of the last we'll see...

Not Too Tough To Get The Jump on Chloe

Sleeper hold.

Third Time is Not A Charm

That nameless CTU agent keeps on questioning orders...but never really doing anything about it.

Logan

Jack's gonna get you.

Stupid vs. Evil

This season has kind of blown the stupid vs. evil discussion out of the water. Are the Madame Presidents stupid, or evil? Infidel girlfriend, ambiguous. Renee, ill-fated (but Jack's love interests have transcended the stupid vs. evil distinction...)

Hmmm. I'd like to see Madame POTIR turn out to be evil. (Her daughter is definitely the Middle Eastern Kim Bauer, and definitely stupid.)

Message From Jack

A video for Kim? Tell me that we're not going to see Kim Bauer again?

Another Problem With A Perimeter

Jack breaches the perimeter.

And Chloe, now armed, and uh, gearheady? And going after Jack.

Bugs?

Is Jack planting little cameras, or incendiary devices?

Ah, cameras. Jack's so tech savvy.

Peace! Or Else!

Madame POTIR, Madame President insists on peace.

Or else she'll blow your country back to the dark ages!

Madame President!

Dahlia wants the talking stick. You must listen to her, and how she feels.

Ack, and another improbable Presidential convo creates diplomatic chaos. I'm having a feeling that someone is going to get slapped here.

(Women, this is what happens when we run major world powers.)

Eew!

Uh, good thing Piller took the home ec class! "M" asks if that's a satin stitch he's doing on Jack's knife wound.

And we're doing soap opera recap after soap opera recap...have to love it when the characters explain the entire season in 20 sentences.

OK

Chloe is in charge, Jack is injured and on the loose, having killed Bridezilla and the entire Russian delegation for having had Renee killed (not to mention the President of the Islamic Republic) and taken a toady-ish factotum of Evil Ex-Veep Charles Logan hostage.

Logan has been pulling all of the strings, and Madame President is turning out to be a sociopath who will use any means to achieve her end. Madame POTIR and her daughter have an inkling that all may not be kosher with the peace accord, via the unlikely (and traced) phone call placed by the late POTIR's infidel girlfriend, who has received evidence from Jack.

We're hanging in...not being fans of Lost, we are staying here to see Jack through to the bitter end.
Unlike any other woman who loves Jack, we plan on surviving the evening!

Tai, We're Here, Too!

It's the end of an era! "M" and I are together in Chicagoland to watch the last episode. Tai, we're with you.

(And BTW, you were so right about Battlestar Galactica. I'm in the middle of season 3...thanks so much for the awesome suggestion.)

I'm Miffed

While I saw it live (streamed onto my laptop screen via MSNBC) I can't find video of NYPD's Ray Kelly invoking Jack Bauer when describing law enforcement response to the attempted Times Square attack.

Seriously, much gratitude to all of our first responders. And to the Vets on the street. (I've been involved in community activities and for some reason, licenses for street vending are given to veterans. Most of the other vendors you see aren't there legally. I've never gotten that one, but it's no doubt an unintended consequences that we've got some good eyes and ears on the street.)

Hope they got the right bad guy.
