Not so sure how well my recap of last night’s episode will turn out. Somehow, the first 10 minutes didn’t get taped – so there’s that. Also, I’ve just been feeling lousy and somewhat depleted. But as a result of being couch-bound yesterday, I discovered that the A&E network was running several hours of 24’s Season Two. Ah, what a nice trip down memory lane. George Mason, the head of the little ‘nuclear’ family at CTU, bearded Jack with his trusty hacksaw, Paula – the data cruncher turned crunch-ee, Michelle and Tony, before they were in love. And the PNW retreat gang, President Palmer, his assistant Lynne – weird to see all these faces and think “wow – he’s dead, and he’s dead, and so is she – and her, and right, she was killed too” Yeah, about the only ones alive here in Season Five are Jack, Mike Novick, and good old Kim.
Also, while on the couch, I watched The One on FX. I’d seen it a few times already, so I didn’t watch the whole thing intently. But there was a scene that caught my eye. When the S.W.A.T team is moving Jet Li’s character out of the cell, another prisoner caught my attention. I said to my son – who is very good with the facial recognition thing – “Doesn’t he look JUST like Bill Buchanan? My son agreed, and later on I visited my friendly neighborhood IMDB.com to check. Sure enough, James Morrison was in The One. Except he played a police officer, doh!
Oh well!
Now, really on to hour 17 – I come in as Karen Hayes is on the phone with the world’s newest traitor – President Charles Logan. Oh, the back-story on this should be interesting. Anyway, Prez Logan is telling Karen that Jack needs to be taken into custody. Karen doesn’t quite understand, but heck – it’s the Prez, and she’s a good Homeland Security girl so she proceeds to put out the arrest warrant for Jack. Miles reminds her that Audrey is still pawn material – so Karen orders a transponder (fancy word for tracking device) put on her vehicle. Audrey’s cover story is that she will be trying to get some sleep. Although, as one of my 24 colleagues mentioned, the chick looks dewy fresh – despite the terrible interrogation with Burke (or, because of it?).

Well, Mary K., the way things are going, more than Audrey's coat is going to get soiled next week. Judging from the previews, Lowguns and Nuts Landing are going to go at it. Can't wait!

Oh, me too Victor! - see? I'm doing the dancing around - throwing punches - thing. Woohoo..maybe I ought to put my gloves on for real and hit the bag - to get rid of all this excitement

Yeah, I imagine missing the first ten minutes of an episode in this show is a good way to be confused.
Good movie trivia this week!
I'm wondering what happened to Evelyn and Amy. Given all his other Evil Actions, I can't imagine Henderson just let them live. It would be far too harsh to show Amy getting shot, so maybe the scream was the clue that Mom and Daugther went to CTU Heaven.
As for Audrey's coat, hmmm. DaD talks to Logan next week, so he makes it to the retreat. HS is still tailing Audrey, so maybe Miles tries to get her arrested.
Lowguns and Nuts Landing are going to go at it
Oh my. This really is CTUback Mountain.

And btw - what has happened to Snakehead? (Bierko) No mention of him this ep either.
Yeah, the scenes for next week show Audrey - in the perfect white coat - standing there with gun(s) trained on her.
Maybe they'll make her dance the Macarena

Yeah, he and Curtis must still be hiding back in CTU Medical. (Curtis didn't even come out to check his email or something?)
We haven't seen Mike Novick for a long time, either.
(and thanks for watching my back...)
