24
Here is where we stand:
At the end of last week Jack finally caught up with Dana and -- while experiencing conflicting emotions including sorrow, remorse, anguish and a deep sense of unease caused by not going to the bathroom in nearly eight years -- shot her fatally at close range several times. (He also shot a NYPD officer in the foot, but he apologized.) Now Jack has the Secret Video That Could Change Everything and is on the run in full Rogue Mode, seeking justice and revenge while being pursued by the Russians, CTU and all branches of American law enforcement including the Coast Guard.
Edgar is still dead. I envy him, because I'm still on book tour, currently on the West Coast. This means I will once again be unable to join you, although you all seem to do fine down there in the comments section. As always we will rely on The Amazing Steve to give us his analysis afterward. Meanwhile, here's a scientific poll:

"We know exactly where Jack will be and when..." HAHAHAHAHAHHA! RIGHT!

She agreed to give Logan credit?

I REALLY hate ex-president hand-bag.

No President ever negotiates these things in person...it's all done by their staffs, and the leaders swoop in at the end for the signing ceremony.

Cherry don't look happy.
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:31 PM
Just one thing. We won't be able to "acquire" Jack in a "living" condition.
Oh, President Handbag. You have earned a great many thing.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | May 10, 2010 at 09:31 PM
Handbag is just pissed because women are running the show.

Andy's fix before 9:25 worked fine. Take off your strike-thru goggles.

Time for the Jackinator.

Can the assassin please take out all the perfume sprayers while they're at it? Please? They're SOOOO annoying!

Posted by: Greg | May 10, 2010 at 09:32 PM
They should have done this scene in a Walmart.
Posted by: LeDud | May 10, 2010 at 09:32 PM
In case you aren't from New York, that was Macy's.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 10, 2010 at 09:32 PM
There's about to be a severe Commie shortage. This being New York, they'll hardly be missed...
Posted by: The Dead Henchman | May 10, 2010 at 09:32 PM
This is the LONGEST peace agreement ever.
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 10, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Looks like Jack is at Banana Republic now. Or maybe the Gap.
Posted by: nursecindy | May 10, 2010 at 09:33 PM
Must be something to do with Firefox's protocols.

Shootout in Misses! Cleanup on aisle 3!
Posted by: ASLSigner | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Cleanup on aisle seven!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Just what Macy's needs...more dead bodies. I always said that would liven up the place...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM

Jack's on a killing spree. Wheee
Posted by: Cassie | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Love how they come out straight-arm shooting. Stupid.
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
What happened?
JACK BAUER happened!!!
Posted by: tw | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Jeff, when's the last time you saw gunfire at Macys? I mean I could see it during a sale at Bloomingdales but Macys?
Posted by: nursecindy | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
NO! not the mannequin! take jack instead!
Posted by: emj | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
What the hell just happened? Jack Bauer, that's what, beeeyotches!
Posted by: rockin01 | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Mr. Blond owns.
Posted by: homeybeef | May 10, 2010 at 09:34 PM
Macy's will have a great "As-Is" sale this weekend.
Posted by: MartiniShark | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Hey, at least SOMEONE started shooting.
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Told you guys, Russians are 0 for 2020 when it comes to bullets against Jack Bauer ;-).
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Jack Just Don't Care!
Posted by: The Dead Henchman | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
Clean up on aisle 3. Also clean up on aisle 5, 6 and 7...
Posted by: Lairbo | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
I'll tell you what the hell just happened -- Jack just introduced your friends to the dark side of the turf.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
cindy, I've only ever seen gunfire at the annual white sale. And maybe once at Filene's Basement.
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:35 PM
I hate when I miss Macy's One-Day Shootout!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
My wife says: "Macy's but not in New York."
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
I've totally forgotten why everyone is mad at Jack and what the big deal is right now. I'm so confus-ed.
Posted by: Twoina | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Here in Chicago, there's gunfire at Old Navy in the Loop about once a week.
Posted by: tw | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
KJP,
That's where Jack would be if he were the sniper.
Posted by: Cassie | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
The Bauer hit team.
Posted by: Loudmouth | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
Was that guy and girl about to do it on a SHAVINGj add ?
Posted by: LeDud | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
NEVER tell Jack his credit card has been denied.
Posted by: nursecindy | May 10, 2010 at 09:36 PM
"Miss, are there any evening gowns without powder burns?!"
Posted by: MartiniShark | May 10, 2010 at 09:37 PM
I'm going to complain about the bullet hole in my Macy merchandise that I just bought....
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 10, 2010 at 09:37 PM
ADVERTISERS ON DRUGS...
This is a razor that shoots waterballs at your face?
Give me a break!!!! And how many blades do ya really need??
Major Tom plays for an expensive, luxury sedan???
Yeah that works as well...you'll never see outta space in that buggy, but your expenses might be "out there"...
Megaphones for breakfast??
Advertisers, STOP USING DRUGS. WE CAN TELL!!!
Posted by: funnyman | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Russian hostage. Goody. Time for torture.
Posted by: Loudmouth | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
So that's our intense 3 minutes?
Posted by: Cassie | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Good job on all the aisle cleanups! Also, I'll bet the Russians would miss Aaron, too. If they were still alive.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Someone should
GET DOWN!
Before they get show!
LAY DOWN!
They better put their
HEADS DOWN
Or else it will be the end of their day...
Oops, sorry, the song is still in my head...

...brings a new meaning to the term "Fire Sale"
Posted by: ASLSigner | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
If this had happened in a Wal Mart, EVERYBODY would have been armed, LeDud
Posted by: rockin01 | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
Handbag wants to tie one on.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
"It's got bullet holes in it. Can I get it at half-price?"
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
At least we got a little Jack shooting action at last.
Doesn't President Woman get it: if she announces Logan was involved it's an impeachable offense.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 10, 2010 at 09:38 PM
It's CYA time, soldier boy.
Posted by: Cassie | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Handbag in a grave situation? Run with that idea!
Posted by: MartiniShark | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Off-book resources are now offed.
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
If Bauer gets Pavel to talk...? Hmmm...what are the chances of that?
Posted by: The Dead Henchman | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
They must kill the press secretary!
These guys a smrt!
Posted by: homeybeef | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
So... Jack was setting them up all along? Just so he could shoot more guys?
Okay, I'll buy that.
Posted by: KJP | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Time for all of us unimportant characters to vanish from the magical place we all appeared from.
Posted by: Greg | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
"You keep using that phrase. I do not think that phrase means what you think it means."
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Wrong premise:
Bauer = Circumstance
More like:
Bauer = Fate
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
There were circumstances we coudln't have anticipated, namely Bauer: Line of the season!
Posted by: rockin01 | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Hello? He took out the whole Russian team. Do you really think Pillar is up to "neutralizing" Jack?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Handbag is delusional. Doesn't he realize nobody likes him and they never will.
Posted by: Twoina | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Pavel won't talk.
Posted by: Cassie | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
Handbag in a grave
situation? Run with that idea!Posted by: MartiniShark | May 10, 2010 at 09:39 PM
Much better.
Posted by: Diva | May 10, 2010 at 09:40 PM
I put you at CTU for a reason, Jason.
Because I am a COMPLEAT HANDBAG!
Posted by: danceswithvowels | May 10, 2010 at 09:41 PM
Is he saying Jason has a little resource? That's not very nice.
Posted by: nursecindy | May 10, 2010 at 09:41 PM
NEUTRALIZE Jack? What is he? Heartburn?
Posted by: ASLSigner | May 10, 2010 at 09:41 PM
I have confidence President Handbag is going to straighten this mess out.
Posted by: Senex | May 10, 2010 at 09:41 PM
`Gregory Itzin is brilliant. Please give this man a TV show!
