TV Review: 24 - Hour 17 - Extreme Customer Service - Page 2

So, next we see Jack and Wayne Brady breaking into a bank manager’s house. I kind of pieced together that they needed something other than money. At gunpoint, they take this guy Carl to his bank and get him to open up. Now, I didn’t see the name of the bank, but seriously, it’s got to be a Citizen’s Bank. I mean, Carl is like so obliging. Has nothing to do with the gun being waved in his face, right?

Audrey, in her pristine white coat, calls her Dad, Secretary of Defense Heller, to ask for help. (By the way, we’re taking bets on how many episodes this coat will remain white. Jeff? Victor? What’s your best guess?) Anyway, Dad agrees to meet her at pokey little Van Nuys airport in an hour. Audrey stops for gas and Chloe walks her through how to locate a tracking device using a …walkie-talkie? Are you kidding me? But heck, it works and Audrey takes a page out of Memphis Raines’ (must be the name ‘Raines’) book and tucks the transponder into the wheel well of a big ole truck. (And here’s a little bit of trivia. Gone in 60 Seconds starred Delroy Lindo as the detective trying to catch Raines. He also acted in another movie with a 24 star. What was the movie, and who was the other actor?)

Speaking of trivia – has somebody recorded the number of times that Valerie says, “Will do”?

Back at the Prez retreat, Logan and Veep are having a disagreement about Jack being arrested. Soon as those words are out of Veep’s mouth, Logan sends Aaron out of the room. Then Prez gets snotty and says, “Last time I checked, I was still the Boss of You”.

When Logan addresses the press, Martha is all mushy and emo. She and Aaron are listening to the Prez giving himself kudos, and Martha is proud of her husband. She comments, “I should have trusted him”. Aaron throws up in his mouth.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing, I’m just tired.” Of working for your horrible, murderous, backstabbing, no-good, pond scum of a husband/President!

    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...)
