The Hobbit Goes Haywire
Oh 24 fans, that was a doozy, no?
Where to begin? President Wuss finds out his wife joined the deadly motorcade and as usual, DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. It was an uncomfortable hour of watching him twitch and try to justify his motives. Any character that makes Mike "I pushed a woman down the stairs a few seasons ago to keep her quiet" Novick look good is just awful. Bad President. BAD!
Jack and Audrey continue to work covertly on a lead. And that fans, brings us to the wonders of 24 and why we love it so: this lead is all about someone we never met, but heard about in season one. One of the very first (if not the first) patented violent Jack Bauer outbursts was because of this guy. He now works for a company that made the nerve gas but swears he's innocent (just like in season 1 when he was "innocent" - albeit offscreen - but Jack's inability to believe in him caused tons of trust issues at CTU, primarily with Tony). He acts like he's helping Jack and leads him to a sealed bunker. Were you also chanting at the screen "JACK DON'T GO IN THE BUNKER!!!"??!?!?
Back at the motorcade, First Lady is super nervous because her hubby is letting her die.
And then at CTU, Lin's respect issues have made him into a paranoid tyrant. As Audrey, Chloe, Edgar and Curtis try to follow up on leads - including one that warns of what will happen in the motorcade - he clamps down harder and harder. Finally Curtis steps in as agent in charge (or something) and declares a section 112 (kinda like what Klinger wanted on MASH - dude's cray-zay!) and Lin's hauled off into custody. Next week, we can tell by the boxes at the end, will be about the Hobbit in Holding.
With Buchanan back in charge, the motorcade is stopped and turns around but not before the terrorists try and take them out. In what has to be the most armored limo in history, the Russians and the First Lady (not to mention AARON!) are being firebombed. Aaron appears to be dead (NO!) but in a moment of silence, opens his car door and kills every last terrorist in sight. He's alive! He's AWESOME! AARON RULEZ!
All are relieved at the saving of the Russians and the First Lady (and AARON!) except the President who whines that it means the terrorist BIG GUY will now kill 100's of Thousands.
And Jack. He's left in the bunker by his former CTU boss who leaves him with a bomb. But Jack's smarter that that y'all. Jack immediately rearranges all the furniture to save himself and survives the bomb. While this ex-CTU guy slips off as an obvious bad guy.
Next week: Kim's back? Really? And Tony too!

Now you can understand my remark that 24 lasted 20 minutes! It seemed to fly by on Monday night. Next week...two hours! I don't know if I can watch and then sleep.

I don't see why these evil people who KNOW JB think they can kill him with silly little bombs!!
Hobbit is losing his mind!! He and the Prez need to be locked up.
My husband is VERY excited about the return of Kim!

Oh no, is it cuz he thinks Elisha Cuthbert is hot or because he likes the distractive storylines that have nothing to do with the rest of the show and ultimately slow it down?
