24
Here is where we stand:
Last week Jack and Renee finally had sex, and it was a truly romantic and beautiful thing, except for the sniper. A lesson that we all, as Americans, should take away from this tragic episode is: close the blinds.
So now Renee has gone to that Big Wrap Party in the Sky, and Jack is really ticked off at the Russians. President Woman President is also unhappy with the Russians, because they're trying to sabotage the All Important Peace Procezzzzzz
Sorry! We tend to nod off whenever we think about the A.I.P.P. We wish everybody would just shut up about it so we can get on with the part where Jack works through his grief by shooting or stabbing or barehandedly removing the larynxes of as many Russians as humanly possible.
In other developments, Chloe is now in charge of CTU. We think this is great. We wish Chloe were in charge of the whole federal government and routinely tasered it in the butt.
Edgar is still dead.
Tragically, I will not be able to join you tonight, as I am on the road with the World Famous In Some Circles Rock Bottom Remainders, as we prepare for our big international tour of four U.S. cities. We'll be raising money for good causes, so if you can make it to one of the shows, please do. We promise that there will be great music, by which we mean alcohol.
Speaking of great, The Amazing Steve will be discussing the plot in the comments section following tonight's show. Meanwhile, here's a scientific poll.

Wes, I think that covers a bit of it. Somehow, it's much bigger than that, FTL.

"She thinks she's geting away with it again, but I think she's going to end up dead - and Cole's the guy to do it."
Or, we'll get zombie!Renee to do it. Hey, it makes about as much sense as the rest of the show! :)
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:29 PM
You're right, Dances: I also forgot Dead Stapler Guy in the wall.

Waterboarding with Jack Bauer would be the new thrill ride at some amusement park.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:29 PM
I've found that to be true, Genn.
Keep dreaming, Mitch.

Is there a new law out that requires all commercials must be stupid now? If I see the Dell 'Lolly Pop' commercial one more time I'm going to lose it.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:30 PM
Don't worry, Wes. So did the writers.
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:30 PM
The Heineken Girl is pretty, but as scary as her old man.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:30 PM
All we need to do is bury Renee and she'll come back alive, just like last year.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:30 PM
COMMERCIAL
Midwest and Frontier copulate, merge. They had a funny ad in Sunday's Kansas City Star.
The headline said
NEW TAIL! GREAT SALE!
So this is a sale on tail?
Hmmm,,,,,
Posted by: funnyman | April 19, 2010 at 09:30 PM
Mrs. Hassan has a new scarf.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:31 PM
Has there been an explanation of why Logan is alive?
Posted by: homeybeef | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
Yeah, Wes. Melvin's gotta start leaking soon. And stinking eventually. Chloe seems like a bit of a neat freak. She will not be happy.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
Is the other wall solid glass?
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
Gennita, the Pet Sematary should work. She can come back more eviler than before!! buahaaha!!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
Diva, you too? We must drink together!
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
So Handbag is going to try and convince President Woman President that he's more trustworthy than Jack. ya right.
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 19, 2010 at 09:32 PM
So who is Madame President gonna trust, Jack or former President Handbag?
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Who said Renee's dead?
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
He's going to tell her to stop Jack?
He's already questioned Dana, Handbag. You're too late.
"Agent Walker? She's dead, Jim."
"You're gonna have to trust me."
As if.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
"Pressured" a Russina mosbster? That was pressure? Pressure is an anvil sitting on your chest while laying on a bed of nails.
Posted by: Mitch | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Oh yeah...she can trust HIM.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Siouxie, Renee can be IT.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Don't get too upset Ethan. You'll pop a stitch.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:34 PM
OK, with this revelation, why isn't Madame President having Handbag arrested?
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Logan's nose is growing at an exponential rate.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Genn, I think we already are. :D
Posted by: Diva | April 19, 2010 at 09:34 PM
See Tony IS behind all of this.
Posted by: Greg | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Virtual IT? Is that like a zombie process on a pr0n server?
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
She wants their vodka...I want their vodka.
Posted by: exs120 | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
So President Woman President is going to choose Handbag over the right thing to do? I think that she has the cojones to do the right thing.
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
"The greater good"
I like Hot Fuzz
Posted by: homeybeef | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
I would like to see Jack hit Logan so hard his blue contacts would pop out.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Zzzzz*snort* Wh? Wha? Where am I? Oh, "24" is still on TV...zzzzzzzzzz....
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Sigh. Where is Jack? These people are talking, talking, talking.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Oh God. Someone sedate Handbag. He's getting all psycho again.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Wasn't he involved in the President Allstate hit?
Just have him arrested!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Wow, Logan is rapidly outstripping a feed lot in the manure department.
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
We need armed Presidents. Handbag should have a presidential bullet.
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Somebody, please just SHOOT the Handbag. Just SHOOT the SOB.
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
God, he really really is Nixon! Right down to the
arrogant stuck up nose!!!
"you've got to trust me madame Presient"
"No, you conniving little wimp" (she shouldda said)
Posted by: funnyman | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Now he's quoting Shakespeare!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Handbag: Madame President, I, among all the people of the world, will definitely respect you in the morning.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Dances,
Virtual IT would be scarier than you think.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Impeach her!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
Yes, there is only one choice: Give Logan to Jack for some stick time!
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
Only Jack can call the President and get a secret meeting interupted,and get her to leave a peace conference to come see him. Now we know who's really runnning the country.
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
She's going to CTU? That doesn't sound safe.
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
"...to see Jack bauer"
She heard he's single now
Posted by: homeybeef | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
If memory serves me correctly, Caesar was stabbed...in the back. So Handbag is Marc Anthony?
Posted by: exs120 | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Careful, Madame President Woman, or Jack will SMACK you and slam your head into a table...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Has anyone with an immunity deal ever lived to the end of the day. Those things are death sentences!
Posted by: Greg | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Even the demons quote Shakespeare, and shudder.
Posted by: Jeff | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Et tu, Handbag?
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Take Logan with you Madame Woman President! Let Jack 'interview' him for a few minutes. I would say debrief but after the 'don't ask don't tell' remark I don't think that's the proper phrase.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Oooh, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchet. That might be good.
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:39 PM
President Smarmy Weasel Handbag. Ick.
Posted by: Twoina | April 19, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Just so long as she doesn't go to CTU Medical.
Posted by: Diva | April 19, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Next Logan will be whipping out the Victory sign. Then Jack can slam his head on the table and smack him a couple!
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
I am not a crook.
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Robin Hood looks good. But why not Keifer as Robin ? Oooohhhh or Claude Van Dam
Posted by: LeDud | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
nursecindy, I'm actually laughing out loud at that comment.
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Look, the man's own wife stabbed him in the neck. If that doesn't tell you something, what does?
Kill the living sh!t ouf of him.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
"Cry Havoc! and let slip the Bauer of war..."
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Kate, I'm there!
Posted by: Mitch | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
In the back, exs120? Don't ask!
Definitely *not* safe, Kate!
That would be truly scary then, Jenn. I have a very vivid imagination. And access to many petabytes of data.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Okay, I shall now drink a toast/ode to boredom.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:40 PM
"...to see Jack bauer"
She heard he's single now
Posted by: homeybeef | April 19, 2010 at 09:37 PM
Very Funny Homeybeef!
Posted by: Greg | April 19, 2010 at 09:41 PM
Of course she's almost there. They need transporters like they had on Star Trek.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:41 PM
No Chloe, it's your office now...for SOME reason.
Posted by: exs120 | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
Arlo - where the hell has he been?
Chloe, it's your office now. Hastings is toast.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
Beware Presidents bearing plot twists . . .
Posted by: Jeff | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
OK, Wes. That needs to be on an LJ icon. :)
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
I think Cole is going to kill Dana Walsh. He's The Other Mole.
Posted by: Gennita Low | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
Dana's got a good pair. They can drill holes in you.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
Never mind the bomb blasts on the wall, Madame President Woman...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
Did she take the Batmobile? How did she get from the UN to CTU so fast?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:42 PM
And it only took Madame President maybe two minutes to get to CTU. What, are these people channeling the One Power and gatewaying their way around New York, like Rand al-Thor?
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
Is this 24 or FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
As they all watch: "...the peace process is still alive..."
All the CTU'ers begin to nod off...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
Bauer and Pres sitting in a tree...Kissi...
Posted by: LeDud | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
President Woman President is dead meat...no one enters CTU and leaves alive!
Posted by: exs120 | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
We're still in the game!? She didn't tell about the rear entrance aspects.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
Didn't you all know? Everything in NY is only 5 min from CTU with traffic.
Posted by: homeybeef | April 19, 2010 at 09:43 PM
Chloe has the best facial expressions of anyone on 24. She doesn't have to speak. You can tell what she's thinking by the look on her face.
Posted by: Twoina | April 19, 2010 at 09:44 PM
Would you like some wine, Jack??
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:44 PM
So the President goes to the most secure location in New York - CTU. I expect half the CTU workers to be Russian assassins.
Posted by: K-Doc | April 19, 2010 at 09:44 PM
It's been a little over an hour since Renee was killed. Jack's almost over it now.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 19, 2010 at 09:44 PM
She frakkin' LISTENED to the Handbag?
*headdesk* *headdesk*
Posted by: Wes S. | April 19, 2010 at 09:44 PM
"...the peace process is back on track..."
...and Jack begins to nod off...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
You can't handle the truth!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
"You don't know that"?
Is she freaking kidding.
"You don't want to know the truth."
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, lady!!!!!!!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
Wow. She's going with scumbag Logan over Jack? Baaaaad move.
***
"I can bring peace..."
Arrogant, much?
Posted by: Kate | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
President Woman President is caving into Handbag. Doesn't she know who the boss is?
Posted by: ArcticAl | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
President Woman Handbag!
Posted by: exs120 | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
I don't *want* to know the truth!? I can't *handle* the truth!!!
Posted by: danceswithvowels | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
Nukular!
*drinks*
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 19, 2010 at 09:45 PM
The old "extraction" technique.
Jack just said nucular.
Posted by: Mitch | April 19, 2010 at 09:46 PM
NUKULAR!!!!
Posted by: Diva | April 19, 2010 at 09:46 PM
Nu-Ku-Lar! Drink!
