24: Episode 20, 2 AM - 3 AM

Key Words: 24, Jack Bauer,

I sense this might be a kind of let down episode like a few weeks ago. We'll see.

9:08: So far, nothing special. Except I bet Chloe tells the hotel bar drunk guy off at some point.
9:10: Good to know that "24" thinks so highly of air marshals. JBKC: 1 (Air Marshal)
9:17: Is she trying to tell Mike or not? The First Lady not doing a very good job of being quiet.
9:18: The problem is that the First Lady doesn't have any credibility left, so it's really hard to figure out what she's up to. The writers can really do whatever they want. If they want to go Lady Godiva with her, they could do that and no one would really be able to tell.
9:20: I can't tell if it's me or if there's nothing going on in the show right now.
9:21: The president can be pretty smart when he wants to be. Wait a second. How can we believe that he is smart enough now to outsmart his wife, when he's been as dumb as a paperweight all season.
9:21: Ah, here we go… Time for some action.
9:23: I thought this was some sort of diplomatic flight? Doesn't it seem like a commercial flight to you? Why is there an air marshal on a commercial flight?
9:30: Uh oh, Jack Bauer, better get out of there. Something bad is happening that couldn't have been foreseen.
9:32: Nice. I think that may have been one of the best things Chloe has ever done. She should add the taser to her normal repertoire.
9:34: Jack Bauer knows so much about airplanes that he is able to adjust the flight pattern from the baggage hold. Absolutely amazing. He never ceases to amaze.
9:35: This has got to be the worst air marshal of all time. Getting knocked out originally and now not doing anything when he has a gun pointed on him.
9:42: Now Miles knows that Karen Myers is screwing around. Miles is a lot like Dwight Schroot. We all know that guy.
9:42: Mike Novick is the perfect person for Miles to be calling right now. This is going to turn everything around. I hope.
9:43: "A soft Q and A". Maybe Miles just wishes it was him getting the soft q and a.
9:45: See here's a situation where the President is going to use the Secret Service as his palace guard. I could see that happening in the next couple years.
9:51: I wonder how long Chloe can keep electrocuting this guy without anyone noticing.
9:51: Why did it take so damn long to find out about the pilot? They can do and not do whatever they want and it doesn't ever seem to bother people that the time of tasks changes drastically depending on what needs to be done when… Oh well.
9:54: Can Jack Bauer fly the plane? Can he? What do you think? It doesn't matter! Yay, Jack Bauer. Now how's he going to escape the Secret Service/Palace Guard?
9:54: I bet Jack Bauer can fly the plane. CAN JACK BAUER PLEASE PLAY THE TAPE FOR SOMEONE ELSE? PLEASE! JUST PUT IT ON LOOP ON THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SO SOMEONE CAN RECORD IT. I can't stand it.
9:56: Art imitating life with the plane being shot down? I don't even want to suggest it. 9:56: Isn't the plane supposed to be landing really soon? They said 15 minutes a while go

I was right, nothing really happened. Why didn’t the co-pilot crash the plane? All the other folks were willing to die to protect the secret. AND, how could it possibly have been arranged that the co-pilot able to meet Henderson and then fly the most commercial "diplomatic" flight of all time? We'll never know.
