24: Episode 21, 3 AM - 4 AM

Key Words: , ,

I'm going to be upset with the outcome of this.

9:03: Please, Jack Bauer. Please figure out a way for other people to listen to the tape…
9:04: Ha! I knew that Secretary Raines survived!
9:04: I like how this guy talking to the president is so matter of fact when he's talking about shooting down a plane.
9:06: What consequences is that guy talking about? Wouldn't they just deny any involvement?
9:09: Come on, Novick, talk them out of it. It's really their only choice.
9:09: I wonder what the time differential between the 15 minutes the military guy said they had left to shoot the plane down and the 21 minutes it will take to land the plane they talked about a few minutes ago. It's really impossible to tell in the "24" reality.
9:10: President Logan is several different clichés all at once. It's so ridiculous.
9:17: Why does Jack Bauer still say, "This is Bauer" when he picks up his phone? People know who he is, that's why they call him.
9:17: "5 minutes away".
9:18: "1 minute to missile launch". That was the fastest 4 minutes ever.
9:20: They can't shoot it down if it's landing.
9:20: Abort. Hold fire. President Logan almost lost it there.
9:22: Seriously? They couldn't let the plane go under the overpass and rip off the wings… I was braced for some shearing. What a missed opportunity! I haven't been this disappointed in several weeks. The pilot said they needed 5000 feet for a regular landing. He somehow was able to increase his speed and angle of descent dramatically AND still land in less space than usual? There's only one explanation. The ground is allergic to Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer's presence in the front of the aircraft provided just enough repulsion for the plane's nose to not go plummeting into the ground.
9:29: Damn, Curtis. He should be promoted. He's the Tony Almeda of a new generation! "This is not the Jack Bauer you are looking for." "This is not the Jack Bauer we are looking for. Move along." I want a Curtis T-Shirt.
9:30: Jack Bauer REALLY needs to play the tape for someone else, please.
9:30: Miles the Snake. I hope he saves the day.
9:30: What is Chloe working on now? She finished the airplane tracking thing, right?
9:32: Miles the Snake is such a bitch. He's been acting like Dwight Schroot more and more. His voice even sounds like Dwight.
9:33: Why are they transporting this guy when they don't transport anyone else? They still have Christopher Henderson in there, right?
9:34: There's no possible way that Bierko would have planned to have the C.T.U. transport driver there be one of his guys. That would be the contingency plan of mother contingencies. He would have no way of planning on being captured by C.T.U. and then being brought to their HQ and then being moved from there. How much do you have to spend to have a man on the take in every federal agency everywhere? And why don't any of these agencies do any background checks?
9:39: Tell him, Logan, you need a way out of the darkness. Stop letting innocent Americans die. Tell him!
9:40: What are these guys going to do if President Logan doesn't
9:41: PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THE TAPE. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! If Bierko has people in C.T.U. maybe Audrey's a traitor. You never know.
9:42: Audrey and Jack Bauer must have stinky breath right now.
9:44: Why is Charles Logan so beholden to these guys? He is like the little gang member that wants to be a big gang member and has to kill someone from the other gang so he can be a full member of the gang.
9:47: Here's the thing, not just anyone can clear all the hurdles necessary to become President of the USA. The person who becomes president must have certain personality traits that don't allow them to take no for an answer or accept defeat. So "24" is now asking me to believe that President Logan somehow became president while having none of the traits. Even his impetuous now seems to be a ruse. They want me to think he's going to kill himself to protect the guys in the room with the silly hands free things in their ears? I say NO!
9:52: Oh snap, she don't love you anymore, Charles!
9:54: Saved by the bell. Get the phone, Charles.
9:54: There is hope yet, eh, Charles?
9:54: Miles the Snake is SUCH A BITCH. Looks like he's got a new snake charmer.
9:56: Why do these ceremonial guns that people have always seem to come with bullets?

0 JBKC, 0 tortures, 0 NJBD, Prediction Ratio n/a
Who knows anymore? I mean, really. There's nothing left to say. No one died today, which is odd. I think this is the first time all season.
Totals for the season, 36 JBKCs, 5 tortures, 127 NJBDs, Prediction Ratio 45% (5 out of 11)
