Thank goodness it’s over. See how low a priority this bleh season was for us? Even the season finale got saved for the next day.
Yeah, it always works well, that “going through the motions of handing stuff over” thing. Nothing ever goes wrong when they do stuff like that. And they never find those tracking devices, right, Berus?
Oh yeah, apologizing to the Russians. That’s a good move. All the strong presidents do that.
CTU’s really good about letting people in custody use cellphones. A lot.
Suh-NAPP! Bill isn’t taking Shrill’s phone calls. And that lasted all of two seconds. It must be love. Aww. But they’re no Tony and Michelle. Who are dead, allegedly. I love how CTU’s all up in Bill’s business. “This subpoena covers your family photo albums, plus all your Playboys. Hand them over. We’re particularly interested in July 1986.”
Nadia (Yassir) is a mole, just like I said all along. Just you watch. “You’re not going off-book on this.” How ’bout I smash a book in your face? He’s an innocent kid being pawned off against his will, not a piece of furniture, and we should be kicking Russia’s pinkytoe for even threatening to pee in our general direction.
That’s kind of crappy of Milo’s brother to say, that Milo wasn’t actually brave. He just did it because he was in love with Nadia (Yassir). Yeah? Well earlier in the day, he had someone to protect out in the field, and he did some pretty cool, brave stuff, so maybe you should just shut your face. Furthermore, SO’S YOUR FACE!
OOH! I’M AWESOME! I totally called that. Right before Doyle opened the component thingy, I said, “Or that could be a bomb. They have no reason to play nice.” Boom. This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists. Have I mentioned that before?
Has our side done anything right since Jack kicked the guy out of the back of the subway car and made him explode in the tunnel instead of at Union Station?
“I should have listened to you Jack.” “You did what you thought was right.” Is Jack EVER going to say, “You know what? Yeah. You shoulda. And since you didn’t, more people are probably going to die, stupid. You’re a horrible leader. You should quit before you screw up something else. Remember I used to run this place.” Of course, that’s before he was tortured for two years by the Chinese…
Nice. Doyle will be blind in at least one eye. Good job, Yassir (Nadia).
I think Milo’s brother poisoned Chloe by sticking her with something or touching her with something when he hugged her, and that’s why she passed out. Or Nadia did it. She couldn’t be less concerned about her. Oh yeah, there’s option #3. She’s preggers. That would explain why she’s been a complete cranky bore for 23+hours.
BTW, Brother Biscuit has been pretty much the only character I liked this season.
Hey, VPOTT, do you really think the Russians are gonna be happy if they don’t see the circuit board to know for sure it’s destroyed? You’re not thinking clearly.
Nadia (Yassir) to Jack: “I can’t authorize that mission.” You forget he doesn’t work for you.
Evil Granpappy Bauer says that Josh is behaving like a child. Maybe because he is one.
I swear, EGB is gonna tell Josh that he’s his father. Wow, I’m impressed the kid had it in him. Jack: “I promise, you do not want to live with the pain of killing another person.” “Yeah, but I also don’t want to live with the Chinese. They’re communist!”
Jack’s a moron. His dad is so not gonna just die. He should have finished him off. And who wants to bet that Chang doesn’t have the component? Betcha EGB has it.
Total Sunglasses Moment. Suvarov is talking to VPOTT, and they’re on speakerphone, and Suvarov, in a moment of complete melodrama, picks up the receiver on his end of the line. He’s not asking any questions of VPOTT or anything, just saying that he regrets that his country almost killed itself and stuff. He doesn’t ask the people in his office to leave the room, and he doesn’t say to VPOTT, “Hey, could you take me off speaker, please? I want to say a bunch of stuff I don’t mean.” Just takes him off speakerphone on his own end.
Oh, and how about that whole, “We just heard the Chinese saying that they have a sub 10 minutes off your coast.” We wouldn’t know if the Chinese had a sub 10 minutes off our coast? How much do we suck if that happens? And if Russia hears it first, we’re so screwed. Y’all know those guys are totally BFFs, and we’re like the third friend that they both pretend to be friends with but then as soon as we leave the lunch table they’re all talking about how ugly our shoes are.
Wow, Laura Ingraham’s walk-on role was in the season finale. The show should feel honored.
Brother Biscuit is a good guy.
Yes, Chloe is pregnant.
They always say that to Jack. “Jack, I understand you’re angry.” “Audrey’s all I’ve got.” Her? I keep waiting for her pop her eyes open all sudden-like and say, “Jack, we need to talk about our relationship.”
Wow, when the main action was over, there was still a half hour left in the show. We kept waiting for something to happen. It didn’t. Yet we also kept seeing commercials for “Do you want more? Go see the Day 6 Debrief after the season finale!” and every time I would just say, “Actually, no. I don’t want more. I want it to stop.”
I guess they just tied up most of the loose ends, let Jack cry some more, and showed that basically they can take the show in any direction next year (rework, anyone? I vote for SD-6 or APO). One loose end I don’t think they tied up is what they gave China to get Jack back at the beginning of the season. Did I miss that?
At least it’s done for now. Let’s hope for a much more exciting next season. And as I’ve said before, Frank and I are willing to write for the show, as long as we can telecommute from Texas, don’t have to work Sundays or Wednesday nights, and I can still snark it.
