EYESTAB!

NECKKNIFE!

Now that was a little more like it.  Don't forget Jack gunning dudes down through a wall, too.

And Jack really did just pretty much no-sell getting stabbed in the gut by Crazy Annie, right?  Unless his sweet leather jacket has some sort of magical defensive properties.

DURR WHAT ROOM ARE WE LOOKING FOR?  The subplot with Starbuck's redneck robbers is rapidly approaching "Dumbest Ever on 24" status, and after amnesia and cougars, that's saying something.

And I'm a little stunned that CTU seems so stymied by the fact that the evil Russian arms dealer has a hideout that lets you leave by something other than the front door.

Finally caught up on the last couple eps.

It's hard to put into words how much I love Jack's undercover Hans glasses.  They are tremendous - just a great peice of 24 logic.

I hope Jack is walking around with that huge gaping knife wound all season.  It will be like in season 2 when clutching his heart and fighting off cardiac arrest between kills.

I have to admit something. at 10:44 I was waiting for the commercial break so I could take 24 off my DVR.  That Hick Heist story was so stupid I could no longer love 24.

at 10:45 I was leaping up and down on the furniture screaming like a crazy person swearing I would never leave 24 again.

I do love that this show is the only show where if you see a knife it will get used, no questions.  Was she stabbing him in the nuts at one point?

Amongst other places. I'm sure the official autopsy report will be in at least the twenties for number of stab wounds in the victim.

Still, Annie completely loses it, goes on a stabbing spree, knifes Bauer in the gut during her berserker rage, and Bauer still has the sheer balls to rip that knife out and throw it into Vlad's crony's neck. MOAR PLZ.

So I guess I should've watched 24 last night and not Chuck and House?

Crap.

seriously, just watch the last 15 minutes.

The first 45 honestly had me ready to drop the show.  And you know I am one of the loyalist 24 viewers ever.

I'm a completist so I have to watch it all.

This is why I watched the Racist Truck episode of Supernatural today instead of just skipping ahead to the good episodes that are apparently coming soon.

we are brothers of different mothers.

Also i don't think Racist Truck was as bad as people say.

It was shockingly unsubtle and I think whoever played Cassie (Dean's ex) was terrible in it, but I liked it better than the bug episode.

Racist Truck was good!

Yeah Bug was a bullshit episode.

Anyway watch 24 and report back.

Tying it back, Cassie from racist truck episode played Palmer's daughter in S1 of 24.

the adventures of 2 stupid crooks is so over the top dumb that it's getting fun.  I really thought there was going to be more to hick friend then being a friends with an idiot but it just turns out he is uber dumb.

It would have been one thing if he just decided to grab a few extra packages or something in hopes finding more money or drugs but to leave a mess and not get out in 15 minutes when the whole point of the heist was to sneak in undetected and sneak out is just stupid.

Of course the best part was Renee going berserk and stabbed the Russian guy a zillion times and then gut cut Jack.  Who then popped the knife out like noting and flinging it into the guy's neck.   2nd best would be Jack shooting guys that where on the other side of the wall.

<-whoever played Cassie (Dean's ex) was terrible in it->

Wait - you were paying attention to her acting?

You were doing it wrong.

I feel like I should send you money for posting that.

Yeah.  Starbuck's subplot is going to have to flail around wildly if it's ever going to tie into the main plot.

Maybe Starbuck while realize the best why to get rid of them is to set them up to be killed by Russians.

Push them right into the Bauer Meat Grinder.

I figure it's a gateway to the eventual "the villains break into CTU and kill everyone" plot.

Dude, you all think it was the knife that killed redhair russian, but it wasn't.

IT WAS BAUER BLOOD THAT KILLED HIM SO FAST.

Yeah, dude should've straight up melted like Herr Todt

Go Jack, keeping that kill count up!

Glad to see Jack getting back into the homicidal swing of things, and then use it as rationale to explain his cover to the russian.

I probably would have liked the episode more if the Jack bits hadn't felt like they were lifted right out of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.

At least now we have Starbuck and a gun to look forward to.

Obviously great - all the Jack torture/escape scenes

However, my personal favorite thing in the episode: In the elevator right before the final commercial break, the baby-faced CTU agent who is so GREEN he needed to get his vest fastened by FP,Jr!  Then he gives him an aw shucks "thank you, sir!"  AMAZING piece of 24 foreshadowing.  I was hysterical for a good five minutes.  I can't wait to see which limb he loses in the line of duty.

-Mark

Agreed - kill Jack kill! Leg choke neck break was awesome.

How is it that CTU didn't search for the underground tunnel? Der... you didn't see anything from the air - the only other option was that they went underground.

I love the head of CTU deferring to Jack's judgment all the time now. This dude clearly found the Bauer Day manuel and read it cover to cover.

I am hoping we get to see Starbuck be Starbuck soon!

Oh yeah, that guy is so dead.  I was only surprised that he didn't catch a bullet before the end of the episode.

>>AMAZING piece of 24 foreshadowing.  I was hysterical for a good five minutes.  I can't wait to see which limb he loses in the line of duty.<<

I agree he's probably dead kid walking. But that scene was so blatant and the actor was so baby-faced, I'm almost inclined to think the show's just messing with us, and he'll turn out to be either a mole or Jack Bauer: The Next Generation.

But in a season that shamelessly went ahead with the Dana/Kevin crap, that's probably giving them too much credit.
