TV Review: 24 Season Six - Hour 22: Fighting Back - Page 2

Part of: Bauer Power

No, he was a visionary in I Robot. He was probably a visionary in Babe. He thought he was a visionary in Six Feet Under, but he was just insane. He seems to be quite insane now too. C'mon Jack – let's keep Josh away from your crazy dad!

Wow, look at Jack slide on the floor. Didn't Joey Fatone do that on Dancing With the Stars? Cool move, no doubt. With Dancing Jack Bauer in pursuit; Cheng takes Josh to the roof. Josh turns and gives Cheng a kick – nice! I think Cheng grunted out "Shazbat". Jack is right behind, headed up the last flight of stairs, while Josh runs from Cheng. Cheng finishes off his bullets trying to shoot Jack, but when he's out Jack tells him to give it up. Cheng gets away however; Jack was distracted saving Josh who was just kind of…hanging around.

From the last hour, Lisa and Bishop were starting to wind down their bedroom festivities. The surveillance group in the van – according to Fox's Website – watches uncomfortably. But they don't seem that uncomfortable to me. Lennox actually seems to be stroking a pair of binoculars or something.

Anyway Bishop gets suspicious, and starts pestering Lisa. Finally she reacts with all the stored up anxiety and anger she can muster and clocks him with a wine bottle. She then whacks and slaps him, while ranting about all he's put her through. She even strikes him with a lamp, but Bishop knocks her down and chokes her. Lennox and crew storm the apartment before Bishop can kill Lisa, but she's unconscious, and her brain function is in question.

And at CTU, Division Dudes come and treat Nadia like she's sloppy seconds. She seems pretty beaten and barely argues when they tell her that she made poor choices and is responsible for the mess. Morris hops in with one of his pep talks, hope it works, we need Nadia sharp and in charge.

Russian President Subarov is definitely in charge. In another Cisco Product Placement teleconference, he warns Daniels that he knows about the forged data coming from Lisa Miller's PDA. He also warns the Veep that his country can strike at U.S. troops if he doesn't get the Secret Squirrel Sub Circuit Board Device (SSSCBD) back to Russian safety. He gives them two hours. This, by the way, conveniently fits in with the show's remaining two episodes. Smart guy – that's why he's President of Russia.

    As usual, great recap, MK. "Jack squeezes the petals out of Zhou." You have to love that scene. Next week should be really explosive. Will be the best finale in "24" history? Hmmm.
