(Kwame and I are splitting time on this post. My thoughts are italicized.)
1. Why is everyone worried about Jack getting out of the exploding plant? Seriously did they ever think that 30 seconds wasn't enough time for Jack to get out? That's about 15 extra seconds for Jack. And how badass did Jack look coming out of the shadows with the guy on his back?
I too am a fan of that corny hero walking in relief to the burning backdrop shit. I like it in every movie I see it in, but it was somehow magnified by a jillion because this time it was JACK BAUER!!
2. It's absurd that at this point in the day, CTU would be absorbed by Homeland Security completely. Would Evelyn be in charge? Possibly. But to fire everyone on the spot is just stupid. By the way I really thought Chloe was going to bitch slap (there's that term again) her replacement.
Kwame, stop being so misogynistic. You're such a misogynist. You practice such misogyny.
3. The writers are so good at messing with us. I felt so bad for Bill Buchanan. He's like that dad that everyone loves.
Funny how last season we were thinking Bill was shady and banging Michelle Dessler in the conference rooms at Division, but now he's our dad. You've come a long way, sailor.
4. Mr. I-didn't-sexually-harass-that-woman (I think his name is Les) is easily the most annoying character on the show. And that's really saying something.
We're going to have to disagree to agree to disagree to agree. Because as long as Kim Bauer is alive and well, and not in a cougar's stomach or mounted on a wall in some survivalists' basement then she will always be the most annoying character on the show.
5. Exchange of the night:
Wayne Palmer: "Jack, I was a Marine!!"
Jack Bauer: "Yes. And you never saw combat."
Wayne, umm the reason you have a gun is to PULL THE TRIGGER!! I think if they panned down, it would have revealed that Wayne had an "accident."
Show of hands, besides me and Kwam who else was screaming "JUST FUCKING SHOOT HIM ALREADY" when Wayne was struggling with his conscience and waiting for the terrorist guy to turn around fully. This same guy who was sleeping with some sick old guy in a wheelchair's wife, who contributed oodles of money to his brother's Presidency campaign vault.
6. Ok "Ms. First Lady Assistant who is too stupid for words," there is really no need to raise your voice, you are the last person that should have an attitude.
Once again though, the writers went to The Kid Well and busted out the child-in-peril storyline which once again, I fell for. Damn you mother genes!! For a moment I was completely forgiving all of the Dumb Agent's past missteps, until I remembered what an idiot she was. Especially with the following sentence that somehow never escaped her lips: "Hey Mrs. First Lady, the only person I told about the evidence you stuffed in your bra was Walt Cummings and your attacker knew exactly where to find it."
Also, they made the red herring too red. The VP seemed overly sleazy, so the president-is-evil storyline wasn't surprising.
I've already posted all the best "Jack Bauer facts" from Notrly.com but there are a few new ones that are good:
- Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
- It's no use crying over spilt milk... Unless that was Jack Bauer's milk. Oh you are so screwed.
- Chase Edmunds waited until he was sure Jack Bauer was dead before he dumped Kim.
