24
Here is where we stand:
Jack Bauer managed to save Simone (code name “Pinky Stump”) from her Evil Drone Mom, who tried to kill Simone with missiles in an excellent car chase that required Jack to requisition two civilian vehicles, whose owners will no doubt be fully reimbursed by the United States government for any collateral damage caused by missiles or getting punched in the face. Jack is now supposed to meet with President William Devane, who appears to be about to turn himself over to Margot in exchange for not wreaking any more special effects on downtown London.
The Russians still want Jack.
Navarro is still the mole and is doing mole things with that other guy. We frankly do not understand this part of the plot.
Agent Kate Morgan is still very capable.
Edgar is still dead.
We will be providing updates during tonight’s episode as plot developments develop. Stay tuned in the comments afterward for The Amazing Steve’s amazing recap.
In conclusion: Go Heat USA soccer team!
UPDATE: The Amazing Steve writes that "If you count the movie Redemption, tonight is the 200th hour of 24."
UPDATE: "These are more like Kaiser rolls than doughnuts." Ooooh, BURN.
UPDATE: Who the hell turns in doughnuts with NO FILLING???
UPDATE: ANOTHER drill?
UPDATE: President Devane is lucky Jack didn't deck him.
UPDATE: OK, with all due respect to the writers, why would Terror Mom care what anybody thinks, seeing as how she is a psychotic mass murderer?
UPDATE: "So wake the bitch up." Whoa.
UPDATE: This is really not Simone's day.
UPDATE: "We need a drill and a soldering iron STAT."
UPDATE: Mark of course can get the codes for Wembley Stadium.
UPDATE: So is Audrey in charge of the government? Or what?
UPDATE: The Secret Service detail plugs right into Jack's phone.
UPDATE: HOLY CRAP JACK IS CUTTING OPEN THE PRESIDENT.
UPDATE: The president, like everybody else on this show, heals in seconds.
UPDATE: Right. It's easy for the president of the United Freaking States to walk away from all his security. Because they never think to cover... the back door!
UPDATE: "Geez, Jack! Do you always have to PUNCH everybody?"
UPDATE: Jack don't need no stinkin' pilot.
UPDATE: Jack don't need to get no clearance from no air-traffic-control authorities.
UPDATE: Errand boy strikes back!
UPDATE: Apparently the safety is off.
UPDATE: It's just a gaping chest wound. He'll be fine.
UPDATE: TAC Team 7 is my favorite TAC Team.
UPDATE: Didn't Kate get stabbed in the leg like 90 minutes ago?
UPDATE: It's nice the way Terror Mom praises her son when he reactivates the drones.
UPDATE: Fortunately, a helicopter landing in Wembley Stadium would not draw any attention.
UPDATE: Is it just me, or does Audrey have weird nostrils?
UPDATE: This is some very fine overacting.
UPDATE: Seriously, something has been done to those nostrils.
UPDATE: "End of the road, Jack." WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?
UPDATE: Chloe has managed to resolve the data pack into three screens! BUT WE'RE OUT OF TIME!
UPDATE: And the president is tackled by Wayne Rooney!
UPDATE: I bet they're glad they got the Facial Recognition App for their drone.
UPDATE: HOLY CRAP SHE BLEW UP THE PRESIDENT!
UPDATE: Next week: PAYBACK. Take it, The Amazing Steve.

Exciting music!
Posted by: Blogchik | June 16, 2014 at 09:36 PM
Jack is going to fly the chopper too? What a guy.
Where's Chloe? On vacation this week?

24 has never done great with that whole sunset thing
Posted by: Homeybeef | June 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM
How soon before Prez asks "Why am I here? Where are we going?"
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM
Jack Bauer plans to drop the President on evil Mom?
I don't think he has thought this through.
But the heli is a cool touch. Reminds me of The old
Highway Patrols when they had to hunt chickens...I mean bad guys...
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM
it's a Hellercopter
Posted by: ligirl | June 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM
Are we there yet? I gotta take a leek. You know, the onion-like thing.

Donuts for Diva for Gods sake....

A gun down the front of the pants? That's a) redundant and b) unbelievably stupid.

worst.hit-man.evah.
Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:38 PM
I guess Dead Guy is not as dead or as dumb as we thought.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:38 PM
Somebody answer that phone!!!
Posted by: Trent | June 16, 2014 at 09:38 PM
Gofer is goner.
Posted by: Blogchik | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
Guess the safety wasn't on. Oops.
Posted by: Siouxie | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
Please stop fighting and answer the phone.

Posted by: ligirl | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
At least he's (the agent Navarro tried to kill) a
fighter.
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
I guess the safety was off.
Posted by: KJP | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
Some proper shooting and bloodletting !
Posted by: LeDud | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
But also dead.
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
Don't mess with the geek.

Safety this, *bitch*
Posted by: Homeybeef | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
That bad guy sure was spry for getting hit upside the head with a pipe 30 seconds ago.
Posted by: MareBear | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
Drop Dead deserves to drop dead after that stupidity. He drips to death.
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:39 PM
I guess Steve the Mole lucked out again.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Dud, I'll have you know I'm stone cold sober, which, frankly, should scare the hell outta you.
Posted by: Diva | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
as noted earlier, Jordan is too stupid 2 live ...
Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Meanwhile, the Team is playing Tag in London.
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Or at least he's not being presidential. lol
Posted by: Javaguzzler | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
I sure hope the London Monarchs aren't playing a game at Wembley tonight in the NFL's European Football League!
Posted by: Trent | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Who's playing Wembley tonight? QPR? ManU is town?
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
is this any time for home diy ?
Posted by: ligirl | June 16, 2014 at 09:40 PM
Where is Chloe??
Posted by: Pat F. | June 16, 2014 at 09:41 PM
@ dances

Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:41 PM
Man, they just used any computer lying around to send top secret stuff?
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:41 PM
Harris, upload this disk on the fastest LTE network in the business.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:41 PM
Genn, it would sure explain a lot, eh?
Posted by: Diva | June 16, 2014 at 09:42 PM
Okay, Kate's completely healed by now??
Posted by: BevfromNYC | June 16, 2014 at 09:42 PM
Hmmm, Jordan is gone...because evil mole had him killed.
Posted by: Blogchik | June 16, 2014 at 09:42 PM
I found her! She's in that place!
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:42 PM
500 square miles..... = 800 square kilometers? They are in England, after all!
Posted by: Trent | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
What a place for the copter to land. Oh, well, World Cup's in Brazil, anyway. Bullets land in thighs, balls bounce off of them and heads and wrists or anything else in soccer.
Posted by: Javaguzzler | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
What....pshco mom .....He's a good son.....
Posted by: LeDud | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
"If you say so."
You think people mouthing off to Mum fare well, Ian?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Somehow I don't think Mom and Son are on the same page.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Evil mom might have to spank her son if he plays with the extra drones.
Posted by: Loudmouth | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Diva, yeah. Download and send that to Chloe, wherever she is!
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Navarro is a real sleeze. I hope his cover gets blown.
"Jordan's missing? My gosh, he was a good agent!"
Watch for Crocodile tears or stoicism when they announce Jordan's dead body.
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
What's that in gallons, Trent?
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
@ Trent
they still use miles there for some reason iirc ...
Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Dave not only did Kate get shot in the leg but Jack was shot in the shoulder about 4 hours ago. Even the hole in his jacket has healed.
Posted by: nursecindy | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
He has a chopper. Why does he need gate codes?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
How come the Royal AF hasn't shot down the drones by now .
Posted by: Cheesewiz | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
Shouldn't the RAF be shootin' that copter down by now?
Posted by: BevfromNYC | June 16, 2014 at 09:43 PM
He can't just land on the field why?
Posted by: Homeybeef | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Nope.
Posted by: Javaguzzler | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
"Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Baaaaaaaauer!"
Posted by: Pat F. | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Maybe Chloe is kicking back with Prime Minister Jeeves.
No, there she is.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
The exciting music is back!
Most boring ringtones in existence.

chloe's out clubbin
Posted by: ligirl | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Did that guy hit on Chloe!!!!! Shoot him.
Posted by: LeDud | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Oh blimey! Is that a copter landing in Wembley's? Is that the Queen parachuting again?
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Chloe needs her taser back.
Posted by: Pat F. | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Of course, Cindy! It's that new miracle CIA fabric!
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
SigBauer - wow, didn't know that. I know they use liters for gasoline and grams for weight....always assumed they were 100% metric.
Posted by: Trent | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
I suppose walking right into Wembley Stadium with the POTUS in tow will be no probs?
Posted by: KJP | June 16, 2014 at 09:44 PM
Chloe will have to taser some pub mashers.
Posted by: Loudmouth | June 16, 2014 at 09:45 PM
We've found Chloe!
Posted by: Blogchik | June 16, 2014 at 09:45 PM
An idiot is going to spill his beer on her laptop.
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:45 PM
Chloe's being petulant. Then again, she is working out of a pub...sober.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:45 PM
Are they really going to drag this drone shooting the Prez thing until next week? Seriously?

@Nursecindy, Jack is surgeon, silly.
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
@ Trent
it's like the ONLY remaining 'imperial' measurement left or sumtin' ...
Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
wasn't christopher walken in 24 ? maybe not...
Posted by: ligirl | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
Then she will rip his throat out, Trops!
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
Apparently the UK does not have the equivalent of the FAA, because neither Jack nor Pilot had to file a flight plan. But if they did, that makes at least 21
people who know....
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
Dave, Jack don't need no clearance. And no one in London bats an eye when strange helicopters fly by.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 16, 2014 at 09:46 PM
Diva is stone sober....whats the world coming to ????
Posted by: LeDud | June 16, 2014 at 09:47 PM
Seriously, did Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme miss a great advertising opportunity earlier tonight?
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:47 PM
Pub drunk best mind his Ps & Qs.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | June 16, 2014 at 09:47 PM
Chloe should take out her taser.
Posted by: Ednamode | June 16, 2014 at 09:47 PM
UtopiaTV sounds awesomely awful.
Posted by: KJP | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
Do you think Chloe can climb firewalls behind firewalls?
Posted by: Gennita Low | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
"He is something"....I laughed ......whats wrong with me ???
Posted by: LeDud | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
Can we get beer And doughnuts delivered by drone?
I'm ready, only have fruit punch tonight...
Posted by: funny man | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
now, since this is not a 'full' season we're all done with daylight?
Posted by: SigBauer | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
Here we go. Final round of the night! Last call!
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | June 16, 2014 at 09:48 PM
