24: Episode 19, 1 AM - 2 AM

Key Words: 24, Jack Bauer,

Has anyone seen The Sentinel yet? I wonder if it's as totally crappy as "24". Post a comment if you've seen it. I'm glad that they showed the scene from last week where Jack Bauer let Christopher Henderson escape again, this time, after giving him the only evidence linking the President to everything.

9:04: Jack Bauer makes leaders of the most powerful military of the world beg for forgiveness. Yes, he does.
9:04: So Chloe wasn't able to use satellites to track Henderson either of the 3 other times he got away when she could have used all the C.T.U. resources. But now, when she's using Buchanon's computer (which she sneered at by the way) they're able to do what Jack Bauer has been begging for all day. That makes total sense.
9:05: Jesus, now CHLOE is telling people she doesn't work for them? Great. Soon it will be Curtis, too. It's about the subnets and the VPNs, didn't you know that?
9:10: "Audrey, please get back in the car." I see Jack Bauer and Audrey sometime down the road when they're lost and Jack Bauer says something like, "Audrey, we're not lost, and NO, I'm not asking for directions."
9:11: Jack Bauer says that Christopher Henderson doesn't bluff, but wasn't Christopher Henderson bluffing when he was willing to let Jack Bauer shoot his wife?
9:12: Jessie and I want to know why Heller doesn't just drive off the road. OH SNAP. Well, we meant kind of like under trees or something, not off a cliff into a river. I hope he has his swim floats. NJBD: 1 (Secretary Heller by the water).
9:13: "Do it. Kill him, Jack." Where does Audrey get off. If she had just waited in the car, they wouldn't be in this mess. Or something. The characters can go back and forth 100 times in 24 hours between whether or not they want to kill people or save them for prosecution.
9:18: Oh, it's that guy. Which movie is he from? This is the second or third Wizard of Oz, moment. How does this guy work with the sketchy phone guy from earlier in the season? Do they call each other up and demand things of each other?
9:19: It must be hard to be crazy and be the first lady. You think you're entitled to being treated with the ultimate respect, but at the same time, no one takes you seriously and everyone patronizes you incessantly. I think the Secret Service has to step in if the president tries to kill the first lady. They do, right?
9:22: Jack Bauer is making crappy decision after crappy decision.
9:22: Jono thinks Audrey is going to die. Jessie agrees. I'm skeptical. But if she does die, it's because she bleeds to death, not because someone kills her.
9:28: "I can trace her location by looking at her binary." Sheesh, I hope you ask first.
9:29: Why are all these unhinged people able to get into positions of responsibility to national security? Don't they have background checks?
9:31: This seems like a misstep to me. But maybe telling the crazy first lady these things isn't so crazy after all. Yes, Charles, "why?"
9:32: Do you think Bush and Cheney ever worry about the scandal that could destroy the credibility of the US all over the world? I wonder if they've discussed it.
9:39: Who is this guy talking to the President like he's a little boy. No, a little girl.
9:40: I'm sorry about your father, he was great, let me go.
9:40: Christopher Henderson is good, you've got to give him that. And Audrey is LOSING IT!
9:41: I'll never understand why in these situations the Audreys never shoot the Christopher Hendersons in the toes or knees, just to get them to shut up. Audrey, if you shoot him, he'll know you're serious.
9:43: Seems like she waited just long enough to get caught. Good job, Audrey. Way to let procrastination get the better of you! Just like college.
9:44: The last time Audrey got caught from behind like that. Well… You know.
9:45: NJBD: 3 (Henderson's baddies by C.T.U.
9:46: What happened to the guy on the helicopter? How did Curtis sneak up on the house without the helicopter seeing him?
9:51: I'm not sure, but it seems like any truck that is searched underneath is going to be searched on top, right?
9:51: No one's going to hear that phone ringing? I guess not.
9:53: Come on, Karen Myers. Tell the tact. team not to go to Bill Buchanon's. Let's go, Karen, let's go!
9:54: The president who uses his own council has a fool for a client, right, right? Come on. Right? Ba, dum, dum!
9:54: Mike Novick just said, "It's been strange night." Then kind of looked sideways. That was sweet. It could have been used in several different movies.
9:56: It's too bad no one saw him. Otherwise, Jack Bauer would have stared the guy down and said, "These. Bags. Need. To. Get. On. The. Plane. Too. Man."
