24: Hour Ten

24: Hour Ten (And Some Other Crap)

But first, a little Grey's Anatomy and Dancing With The Stars.

On Grey's: So Meredith and George hit it, but they don't show that part at first. Instead, they start with the morning after and a day full of idiocy that results in the entire hospital finding out. It's weird that any guy would freak out about people knowing he banged someone like Meredith, until the end of the show when the viewers get to see what happened. The whole sex interlude is just painful to watch. George is going down on her or something, then pumping away, chattering happily because he can't believe how absolutely happy he is at that moment. Then he looks up at Meredith and she's fricken sobbing and finally asks him if he'll be finished soon. It was just pathetic, on both ends really. So everyone hates Meredith now and for some reason she declines to explain that her depression over her father's "So what" attitude towards seeing her for the first time in 20 years contributed to her idiot decision to let George climb aboard the Meredith train. The whole storyline is stupid and I really dislike the writers right now. But I'll give them a pass since they've been doing such a great job otherwise.

On Dancing: There was a moment when it looked like Jerry Rice had a shot at the win and I was happy for him. Though Drew and Stacy worked really hard and are better dancers, they have dance training and are performers. I think it was a lot harder for Jerry to get to where he is. And unlike the Kelly chick from last season he pulled off the whole dancing thing pretty well. But overall, good decision giving the trophy to Drew. Though it's kind of funny how someone who put up perfect scores all season didn't even make it into the top two.

Now on to our regularly scheduled program.

1. It made me laugh when Chloe asked Edgar to do something, and of course he did, but right before he left he gave her a look that said "I'll do it but I haven't forgotten that you banged that nancy boy instead of me." Not that he threw off the Hobbitt at all. Hey Edgar, great distraction ploy with the shrugging shoulders thing. Way to buy Chloe some time.

2. The Hobbitt has definitely gone over the deep end, firing people for no reason when a) There are like 8 people working there and b) The terror alert is at the level Bright Tampon Red.

3. The Russian accents this season are pretty bad. I realize they're probably all American actors but still. Really bad.

4. I thought Curtis was going to go his usual loser route when he said "Just give him (the Hobbitt) some time" in response to Audrey's suggestion. But I take back everything bad I've ever said about him, since he found his balls hanging on Audrey's keychain, velcroed them back on and stepped up to the plate. He was just about to be demoted from "Curtis" back to "Token Black Guy" but he stymied it by having the Hobbitt removed from command.

5. The Douchebag President just keeps sinking lower and lower. Just when you think he can't get any douchier, he proves you wrong. "What should I do? What should I do?" Um, how about you stick to the presidential custom of never negotiating with terrorists. That should be a good starting off point. And what the hell is Mike Novak doing.

6. I was SCREAMING at the television when it looked like Aaron was dead. It was like it was football season again.

7. There wasn't enough Jack in this episode. And what little there was sucked. The Jack Bauer I know and love doesn't leave his back open to a potential terrorist.

8. Next week: The return of Dildo Ass Kim Bauer. Yay.
