Why even bother stating that the suspense is a
killer when it comes to 24 anymore - a stack of seasons in and I still haven't learned. With Wayne Palmer
being chased by professional hitters, probably coming after him on the advice of the Vice President and Jack finding
out that his next-to-latest love interest might just be involved with the baddies, it's pretty clear that there will be
no deep breath episodes, most likely the rest of the way through.With captured superspy hottie Collette having ratted out Audrey at the close of last week's episode, we knew that Jack would probably flip the you-know-what out and probably take a first crack in the interrogationg room, even if he had been sharing a bed with her just 18 months earlier. Additionally, Buchanan seems to have done a bang-up job getting the folks from Homeland Security to hold off on taking over at CTU for a little while longer (save the reality jokes for the comments, people!), and Chloe is handling Edgar's demise quite well, thankyouverymuch. Too bad it's just too easy to think things will stay sane.Aaron Pierce continues to slay dragons err bad guys like it's going out of style, and continues to not get the credit he deserves. And as someone (was it Ryan?) in our 24 chat had to say, Curtis is like that extra ship that you used to get in that Gradius video game that was there just for when you needed it. I'll second that emotion, for sure. Stepping back and forth into this week's plotline, the terrorists seem to have figured out that using the gas lines in Southern California to send the weaponized nerve gas through would work like a charm - but only if the pressure was dropped, because hey, who wants inert nerve gas, I mean, that's no fun. Bierko & Company make their way into a local gas distribution plant, only to have Chloe and her socket-defying self track down where the pressure is being decreased at a quick rate of speed. No one, I mean, no one, can handle Chloe and the sockets of CTU.
Seeing Jack get his torture on with Audrey was a little breathtaking, as a few times (of course, tainted by last week's previews) I thought she might really give in. As it turns out, she doesn't appear to be bad, but that doesn't mean it wasn't just a false alarm. All jokes aside, Jack didn't seem to really enjoy choking her up against the wall, so perhaps he's not as hardcore a bastard as he seems. Okay, he probably is.
I was astonished to see a lack of President Logan and his band of merry men and women strutting around the ranch this week. Guess we figured that focusing on the false (apparently) sexual harassment claims of a new CTUer from Homeland Security was more important. I expect Chloe to not be so pleased going forward, now that she has stood up for her new staffer, and the writers of the show did a great job of making us all think that the new Homeland guy was as skeevy as he appeared. Or is he really? I mean, I never thought Buchanan would be one to inappropriately touch his staff, howabout you?
As far as next week goes, I mean, do we *really* think Jack is dead? I, for one, couldn't see that being the case. And considering he really wanted to save Bierko so he would have a lead into the terror group, there's got to be some random hitch that he's pulled off. I mean, hiding in a raised floor during a bomb saved him once, so surely the floor mats from the stolen police car can help him out this week.
Oh, and for those of you in the chat on Monday - pick a number between 14 and 16. No cheating!
