Last week, there was "24" episode review. Because the episode wasn't even worth noting. It was just bad, bad, bad. Really, here's all you missed....
"Jack, you're an idiot."
Secretary Heller returns! For two minutes!
Moving on to this week's episode....
Ah Cheng. You and your funny way of saying "Mr. Bowwa." Your chip got all damaged and now you've got to attack CTU for this kid....?
"I'm awkward."
So, yes one can only imagine the only way they'll take this. Gee, I wonder if it's Jack's kid or not. Hmm....
Then we still have "As the O'Brian Turns...."


Yes, like all generic soap operas, they've grown mediocre and stale.... or, wait, they've always been mediocre and stale. Please "24" writers, never do this again.

Then there's Sleazy McDeezle. His heart is broken cause Shady Lady was cheating on him. Imagine that. Now he forces her to shack up with Russian D. Spyman to get secrets.
But, really, it's better than this....
"Ew, you smell like Stetson's, Scotch and Werther's Originals."
But to cut to the quick, the episode pretty much all built up to its last 20 minutes where CTU turned into "Counterterrorism Unit Laser Tag."
Chinese Team Leader

Asian Mcreallyanamerican
CTU Leader

Let's Go!

Chinese Team acquires Morris Subplot.

Morris Subplot - pwned.

Jack Bauer enters. CTU is up 13 - 3.

Jack Bauer has blazed the glass.

Blazed! Another for the Chinese.

Jack Bauer blazes more Chinese.
Reload.

Bauer acquires the Super Nintendo Super Gun.

Laser Tag takes a short break while Nadia forcibly calls Rick Schroeder so they can contemplate where the crap any of this is going.
5 Minutes remaining...
"Attention kids, quit fooling around."
Nothing ruins a game more than someone messing with the Intercom.

"No, I'm an important character! Really!"
Or take them game too seriously....
Or take someone hostage....

Cheng: Congraturation on Spider-Man 3, but seriousry, needed more Venom.
Babe Farmer: F$%@ing fanboys.
Oh the expected plot twist. So Daddy Bauer is back in the fold. One can only imagine how one-dimensional he can stay in the last 3 episodes.
Much like the first 20 hours of "24", this was a episode that was only carried by its action. One of the producers said in a
recent interview that the season has been thrown together.
At this point I have no hope this will end in any way that will cause me to anticipate next year. But like the good fan I am, I'll watch because I still hold hope. If episodes like this where the O'Brian soap opera and Jack's random bouts with being a wuss are still occurring - I'll stick to "Lost" and "The Office."
Episode 20 - F,
Episode 21 - C+
