24
Here is where we stand:
Jack Bauer, having spent the entire last episode failing to upload or download some damn thing to or from Chloe, finally decided to let CIA Agent Hot Person talk him into surrendering to the Marines, although there is no question that, had he wanted to, he could have defeated the entire U.S. Marine Corps using only his feet.
Meanwhile Evil Creepy Terrorist Game of Thrones Mom now has the Secret Device that controls U.S. drones, which will be piloted by her son-in-law, who has graciously agreed to help out in exchange for his wife getting to keep the remainder of her fingers.
President William Devane continues to carry out the 24 presidential tradition of not having any idea what is going on. Audrey and Audrey's simpering douchebag husband Mark continue to be extremely tiresome.
Edgar is still dead.
I will try to join you tonight, but either way you should feel free to comment on the plot, if you find one. Stay tuned in the comments after the show for the recap by The Amazing Steve.
If your Mom spied on you having sex and then chopped your finger off, would you keep working for her?
And how would you tell her "No"?

Ba-dum CHING! Yup, it's going to be that kind of night. I can tell.

Great recap/pix links, Dave! Looking forward to tonight's great episode, where President William Devane walks down a long hallway and meets with.....Jack!

Hey, maybe they'll all go crash the Kimye festivities...
Posted by: Pat F. | May 26, 2014 at 08:34 PM
just caught up with Steve's hilarious recap from last week - great to see his amazingness is back up to warped speed !
Posted by: ligirl | May 26, 2014 at 08:43 PM
Jeff, if I were the daughter it would be a little difficult to continue working with mom. Let's just say she'd be a little tied up for awhile if it were up to me.

Checking in. Ready for perimeters and thigh shots.
Brace yourselves for the song of the night in my intro!

Watching the pre-show (Master Chef), I'm surprised that Gordon Ramsey isn't having them cook up some finger food for tonight's "24" episode...
Posted by: Trent | May 26, 2014 at 08:56 PM
I'll try and type faster tonight.
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | May 26, 2014 at 08:57 PM
Hi everyone! Have to catch last week's recap. Without it, I'm lossssst.
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 08:57 PM
BLEEP! BLOOP! BLEEP! BLOOP!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
JACK BAUER POWER HOUR!
J A C K B A U E R P O W E R H O U R !
(To "Let It Go" from "Frozen")
{Sing it for us, Idina!}
The blood is wet on the asphalt today
And it's only been an hour
The British want POTUS' head
But they really should look at Bauer.
Brit's House is howling like some bloodhounds in their stride
Can't reign them in, Heller forgot he tried
{British parliament now.}
Don't let him kill, don't let him be
He'll kill all the people that he can see
Arrest, protest, don't say hello
'cos he's a foe...
{Jack, shout it!}
Let me go! Let me go!
Can't hold me long if you tried!
Let me go! Let me go!
If not for me you'd all've died!
{White House Chief of Staff Mark Boudreau interrupts.}
We don't care
What Bauer's got to say.
Let the drones fly on...
Legalities bother us anyway.
{Take it from here, Idina.}
It's painful how some knee shots
Make his toils seem banal.
Look, terrorists that once fought him
Are dead and can not LOL.
Now's time to watch what he will do.
He has no limits to break through.
No right, no wrong, no laws for him,
He's grim...
Let him go! Let him go!
He's the one with knife and gun.
Let him go! Let him go!
He'll never use a pun.
"Here!" he screams.
And there they'll flee.
Let the drones fly on...
No perimeters, please, there's no fooling around.
His gaze is all piercing, seeing their weak spots, strike them down.
And no thought is given to his kills amassed.
He's never going back,
The passed are in the past!
Let him go! Let him go!
And he'll kill to the end of time!
Let him go! Let him go!
He'll prevent a war crime!
There he sits,
Held there by duct tape.
Let his thoughts rage on,
He'll still say "Go to hell!" and escape.

LET'S GET READY TO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOMBLE!
This "24" intro was brought to you by Awwwwwwww. 'nuff said, besides congrats, Dave!

Posted by: Siouxie | May 26, 2014 at 09:05 PM
Of course, she'll walk right out the front door with the precious flight key...
Posted by: Trent | May 26, 2014 at 09:05 PM
4G network on a Windows! Rrrrright.
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:05 PM
They need a license plate that is WWJBD.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 26, 2014 at 09:05 PM
Can things *get* a lot crazier? And an upload that actually restarts?!? Only Chloe can do that!
Posted by: Beeeeper | May 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
Chloe's working with Hot Agent? I thought Chloe was
mad at gumnmit...
and by the way Typepad is in a funky mood...
Posted by: funny man | May 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
Did Chloe try for the lead in MALFICENT ?
Posted by: LeDud | May 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
@ Genn

Posted by: SigBauer | May 26, 2014 at 09:06 PM
Yeah, Dave's right. She can totally have a Simpsons cameo now.

Posted by: ligirl | May 26, 2014 at 09:07 PM
I would have searched her personally for that flight key if I read in charge.
Posted by: senex | May 26, 2014 at 09:07 PM
She's a good mother in her own way.
Posted by: LeDud | May 26, 2014 at 09:07 PM
I hate to see what she'd do to a child who sucks their thumb...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 26, 2014 at 09:07 PM

Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:08 PM
@ lig

Posted by: SigBauer | May 26, 2014 at 09:08 PM
Chloe is not happy with hackerboss-dude.
Posted by: Beeeeper | May 26, 2014 at 09:08 PM
"A mother shouldn't have to go through that"? Really,

She makes the WIcked Witch of OZ look like a freindly

At least he will inform Heller.

What is new about Jack Bauer and lots of people going to die? Except this is WORLD WIDE, yo!
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:12 PM
"Ground the drones. All of them."
Skynet is going to be very upset.

Posted by: BevFromNYC | May 26, 2014 at 09:13 PM
I can't even get the updates to download on my phone. How do they do all this?
Posted by: nursecindy | May 26, 2014 at 09:13 PM
What's going on??? Jack TOLD you they would be overridden!
Posted by: Trent | May 26, 2014 at 09:13 PM
The good news is, only six of the drones instead of ten, Mr. President!
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:13 PM
They do drone on and on about the drones, every episode.
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:14 PM

What's your vector, Victor?
Posted by: Pat F. | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
Set up a perimeter around London to keep drones out.
Posted by: senex | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
Sooooo, we don't have drones to take out our drones??
Posted by: BevFromNYC | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
First strike weapons? Take out a city block?
Jack's more powerful than those drones.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
How do they see that six drones are still operative if they can't be tracked?
Posted by: JT | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
Dammit! Says President Devane - he did buy gold, didn't he?
Posted by: Beeeeper | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
"Let's talk to Jack Bauer." And it only took what, 6 seasons?!
Posted by: Pat F. | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
SigBauer,
C+! Jack will get them blown up! :D
Posted by: Gennita Low | May 26, 2014 at 09:17 PM
@ JT
they were the ones that 'did not respond' ...
Posted by: SigBauer | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
Tell the British that The Drones are Coming! The Drones are Coming!! The Drones are Coming!!!
Posted by: Trent | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
But, but , but didn't we just see all these drones on the little radar-y thingy?
Posted by: BevFromNYC | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
And now let's have Mark sing "Sometimes when we touch" to Audrey.
Posted by: JT | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
President William DeVane said "Dammit!" Is that a drink? Been so long I forgot the rules...
Posted by: rockin01 | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
Warn the British - the drones are coming, the drones are coming!
Holy Anti-Paul Revere, Batman!
Posted by: Beeeeper | May 26, 2014 at 09:18 PM
No. STOP. Get Awwdrey away from this all. Unless a drone is going to target her.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | May 26, 2014 at 09:19 PM
So the signal will be 1 light in Big Ben means the drones are coming by land....2 lights means they're coming by sea....3 lights mean they're coming by air.
Posted by: Trent | May 26, 2014 at 09:19 PM
@senex - yes, they need a perimeter!
