I certainly did not want to be late with this post – hate to risk the wrath of Cap’s comments!
This week in 24 was… pretty good. Let’s get the boring out of the way:
Sister Palmer is at Bossfriend’s bedside, then calls President Brother to be all “BOO HOO the price of safety should never be the freedoms and rights of the citizens, BOO HOOOOOO” and President Brother agrees. He brings his cabinet together and Vice President Powers Boothe from at least 35% of every Lifetime Movie ever (and Sin City, so that helps) and tells them that he’s thinking of going along with Dr. Larry FLEINhart’s proposal… but not really. SYKE!
Karen Hayes leaves the underground bunker, but not before calling her husband to tell him she resigned, refusing to explain why, and then refusing his call. Perhaps her next job can be as a relationship counselor? She has so much to teach us!
Not boring:
McCarthy emails Fayid with the picture and resume (side note: I totally love how European people call it a CV. Am I the only one?) of the person who can trigger the rest of their nuclear bombs. While it takes CTU an hour to figure out who is in the picture, it takes the Garrett household all of a few seconds. OF COURSE it’s Morris. Of course, CTU figures it out 30 seconds after Morris leaves to attend to his sick brother (so he thinks). By the time CTU reach him, he’s totally captured by McCarthy! Personally, I blame Chloe, only because I’m disappointed in how not-as-bitchy she’s been this season.
Totally awesome:
Dad Bauer and Jack escape – after Dad Bauer shoots the guy that Jack wanted to question. I guess Jack doesn’t believe in foreshadowing, because they go back to Typo’s house to interrogate him. Jack tortures the crap out of of Typo (probably literally, this show is on Fox after all) but feels really bad about it. Until Typo tells him that GUESS WHAT he orchestrated the assassinations of David Palmer, Michelle & Soul Patch Tony! Jack’s head nearly explodes and he tries to kill him and every agent in the room, until Dad Bauer gives him a stern look that says “you are GROUNDED, mister!”
Dad Bauer gives Jack this sob story about hos Jack deserves a better family. Jack goes back to CTU while Dad Bauer visits Typo… and they reveal that they are both in on it and totally evil. But Dad Bauer is just a little bit more evil, and kills Typo.
Your post was OK, but the picture of Tony made up for it completely.
As a side note, did you see my boyfriend Mike Rowe on The Daily Show tonight? He’s DREAMY.
Powers Boothe will forever be Jim Jones to me. he needs a good facial scrub.
Fitz, not every post can be a winner. Perhaps now when I am writing a post that is just not up to snuff, I’ll randomly throw in that picture to divert everyone’s attention.
And I did NOT see Mike Rowe, was he everything you wanted and more?
He really was. Talked about chick sexing and Gooey worm farming and everything. He’s a dreamboat.
1. Watching Mark salivate over Mike Rowe is funny EVERY TIME. He’s man-tastic.
2. Everyone in Doctor World calls it a CV. And I get looked at funny whenever I say CV outside of Doctor World. But saying resume just seems weird.
3. I still am pulling for Sista Palmer. She’s gonna go all Foxy Brown on us one of these days.
4. I can’t help but look at Morris and get creeped out that he used to sell ladies shoes–remember that? Big Shiver.
5. Agreed–Chloe needs to up the bitch factor. Maybe now that Morris is under hostile control she’ll find her A game.
6. I heart Tony Almeda. Now I’m salivating.
To be fair to Karen, this was a transition episode. Nothing major happened, so as a result, the blog posting recap (TWIT, if you prefer) was in direct correlation. I, for one, applaud Karen for her efforts and only ask that next time we get a picture of Michelle Dessler, Kim Bauer or the fabulous Nadia Yassir, who happens to be Mexican in real life.
