Damn, I really wanted to see an eye removal. Jack’s rib has obviously healed though. ---

Next week, on an all new 24!!! Jack: “We need to let CTU coordinate local police and FBI deployments to find this nerve gas quickly!” Pres. Logan: “Ummm… okay, yes. Let’s do that.” Walt: “Mr. President, I have another inside man in the Russian terrorist organization. If you let me contact him, I believe he can get the plan back on its original track. I think you should call off the CTU search, and let my inside man handle it.” Pres. Logan: “Okay, that sounds good. Let’s do that.” Russian President: “Mr. President of U.S., I think you should come out with me and wife for late breakfast. I’m dying to try place I am hearing of… Waffle House.” Pres. Logan: “Okay… I’ll do that.” Osama bin Laden: “Mr. Infidel President, I can stop these Russian nerve-gas-stealers for you. Just transfer some nuclear missiles to me, and I will make sure to eliminate these Russians for you. I promise.” Pres. Logan: “Okay. Here are the launch codes.” ---

Who thinks that before it’s all over New Girlfriend and Shaggy Son and /or Jack’s daughter will end up tied to a container of nerve gas with a digital countdown clicking away while some misguided authority figure detains Jack who is on his way to rescue them? Hands? ---

Observations while watching it again with Mrs. Plant: If I were going to steal the nerve gas from the thief, I’d take the protective boxes, too. Joshua (Black Bauer) only got a walk across the room and a cameo in the four scene screen. Yellow tie had an English accent last week and a Russian ne tonight. ---

So, what I wanna know is: are these Terrorists the Blue Man Group? Or have we seen the last of the Blue Man? And in the promo for next week there was mention of a Penthouse. Are we going back to ex-Pres’s brother’s apartment??? ---

Eh, needs more keister, I mean, Chloe. I really thought Bauer was going to piratize Walt. I hope they find something else for First Lady Ophelia, she’s the best character and actor on the show. Random Jack Bauer fact: Jack Bauer is a marriage counselor on the side. His master’s thesis was entitled “Healing Hearts thru Torture: Reunite or MILLIONS OF CHILDREN WILL TURN TO TERRORISM AND DIE AT MY HANDS.” ---

I thought this was an AWESOME episode. Plot twists, reevaluations of how good and evil people are, and it was actually surprising and not-contrived-at-least-by-24-standards. Plus, Bauer only needs to THREATEN to torture people now. (Did this episode actually not feature a single on-camera death? How unusual!) ---

> [@Monstre](#): > > Ahhhh, okay. Never saw that – had no idea who Joshua was. There was this invasion conspiracy. Hmmm… Joshua was an alien disquised as a federal agent. Hmmm… Anyway, a red neck deputy asks him “If you people don’t come up here to Washington (State) because it’s too cold for you.” When he leans over the trunk of the cop car, Joshua closes it on him, snapping his spine. Training to be Jacks’ apprentice, no doubt.
