I was wondering, do Secret Service tend to wear vests? You think, considering their job, that they would. But I’ve never seen the slightest indication of it.
And it looks like our Russian badguys were Boy Scouts…bringing a flamethrower? Sheeeeit.
Hehe…The Hobbit found out that you don’t fuck with either Jack Bauer OR Black Bauer. Once he hears they stopped the assassination attempt, maybe he’ll come to his senses long enough to do something noble before he dies.
FINALLY! They got rid of Samwise! I’m sick of yelling at the TV screen. What he’s been doing - deliberately interfering with intelligence operations in the name of protecting his own power - is clearly treasonous. Cooperating with him is ridiculous. I’ve been waiting and waiting for people to stand up to him. I’m SO glad they finally did.
Is it just me, or is a major theme of the show this season coping with incompetent people in power and trying to work around them to get things done that need to be done. I truly pray the government doesn’t really work that way.
And he actually seemed more promising early on, in comparison to other Division head honchos sent over to “manage” in previous seasons – despite the odd management style, he was actually effective in the earlier hostage situation with Jack under duress.
But it’s been downhill for him ever since he got set up by his sister.
Actually if there were a Presidential motorcade through Downtown L.A., the streets would be empty because the police would have closed them off. I’ve seen them close off entire freeways.
Why the Russian president though came in by helicopter but is leaving by car is puzzling. Did he tell people? “Hey, I really want to take a look at some of the new developments along the 118. I hear that Porter Ranch is really nice. Maybe I’ll settle down there!” Then he would have taken the 5 to the 110 to the 105 to LAX. But he gets off the freeway in Downtown. Perhaps he wanted to eat at the Pantry.
