Jack’s back!
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007For those who thought that Jack Bauer couldn’t find another level of awesome to ascend to, I present to you: Killing a terrorist by biting a chunk out of his neck, while handcuffed. All other American heroes, move along.
So things are bad in LA. Really bad. Like, Wayne Palmer is now the President kinda bad. What did he ever do to warrant an office like that? Most of his involvement over the years has been running away and hiding from cooler people. I want President Aaron Pierce, dammit! He’s been secret service long enough anyway, and David would have wanted it that way.
Second-coolest thing about the four-parter: Terrorists finally making good on a threat to detonate a nuke. Poor Jack was already breaking and wondering if the day could get any worse, and then WHOOMP, mushroom cloud. God, I love this show.
Canadian viewers were likely amused at the thought of Shaun Majumder as a skulking bomb-maker, but then he blew himself up anyway. Equally amusing was Kumar playing a terrorist, but he’s dead too. Basically they’re rounding up everyone in Hollywood who looks the least bit Arab and using them this season, I guess, so expect IP’s own Murtz Jaffer to show up as a plucky suicide bomber soon.
And Curtis, if you had to go, at least you went out getting shot by Jack Bauer and not by some terrorist. Poor Chloe has so much seniority now that she’s likely next on the list, but I hope not. She’s wearing dresses and getting regular sex now, you can’t kill her!
Anxiously awaiting the return of the Bluetooth Mafia, Naked Mandy, Audrey and President Logan…
