Welp, Gaines got gunned down, Fake Alan and Rick escaped, Jack and his family are unharmed, and it looks like Belgrade sent another assassin after Palmer. Damn, the fun just never stops with this. Might try doing the second half of S1 later today.

I can't process how stupid this chick is. She's already fleeing someone, lets them go by, then exits the vehicle and goes on foot, but... All I can say is

I was rooting for Jack's family to get back together, but in the space of 15 minutes, I'm rooting for this moronic wife to die so this season can be salvaged. The only consolation I can tell myself is "well, she's tired" but no one else is being this bone-headed.

Can you imagine if they killed Kimberly in a parking accident? It's like the scriptwriters were hashing out the plot and one said, "Why can't they just drive all the way into the city? This subplot makes no sense!" and another said, "Uhhhhhh, let's give them an accident, and no phone, and amnesia, and separate them. Let's get it done, people!"

Yeah it's like a rule in 24 to have at least one awful subplot per season when the writers realize they don't have anything interesting for a character to do. If you're lucky, they only last a couple episodes. If you're unlucky...

Oh man I had forgotten about the amnesia. Kinda wish I hadnt remembered.

24: Redemption(movie) takes place between Season 6 and season 7. I personally enjoyed it and Im pretty sure it sets up some of the plot for season 7. It can be found for free on Tubi. Amazon Prime has it for 10 bucks.

And now I want to rewatch. Which is good timing because I needed something to watch.

Damn, Elizabeth (senator's aide) was doing her honey trap thing and ended up stabbing the assassin instead of leaving the room like a normal person. Just goes to show you, unless Jack is doing everything himself, everyone fails him.

Yknow it's funny

I'm a big fan of the show, watched several seasons as they aired, bought all the DVDs, watched the whole series several times over

With the exception of season 1.

No matter how many times I go back to it I just can't connect with it

The amnesia stuff instantly started dragging this season down. Now Teri and her doctor are back at her house (read: massacre site) and there's an assassin there. The assassin also took out the ONE guy they sent to sweep the place. I know moronic decisions are getting agents killed left and right, but c'mon...ONE guy.

Oh, and the snoiper that's supposed to be helping Jack bears a grudge against him (turned in that guy's partner a few years ago?) and just "winged" a suspect with a shot, sending him right over a railing to his death. Mezzanines be dangerous, son.

Uhhhh, is the senator's daughter faking this nervous breakdown/flashback/whatever? She's sobbing and needs to be brought to the couch, then stops and gives a weird glance at her mom multiple times. Mom's burning through options on keeping the family together, so I wonder if she's puppeteer here.

That was a good ep. Teri finally remembered her mad driving skillz and got her doctor bro shot, but at least Tony swooped in and gunned down the assassin. I think that just leaves one more, the older brother to the Serbian genocidal maniac guy. He doesn't look like he's much for gunplay, but he has deep pockets. Maybe that's why Jack and George are in a random field somewhere about to have a "what's a Russian gunship doing here?" moment.

Oh, and the senator spilled the beans on the scandal and made a convincing case for being an upstanding dude. No way is this guy losing the election.

Hmm, guess the helicopter didn't attack 'em. I wonder what important place could be on a power grid out here. Maybe a military bunker or something. They wouldn't use missiles to assassinate anyone, I hope -- that doesn't seem to be the assassins' style.

Perhaps, perhaps.

Their phone ringtone is more of an earworm than the theme tune.

Back in the early 2000s (before my phone was set to "stay silent, don't vibrate, and just hope people for the love of God leave me alone please") it used to be the ringtone on my mobile.

Jack and Dennis Hopper having a staredown in a ghost prison. Pretty great stuff, although Hopper pulling off a...ahem, Serbian accent was a little less great. Dude's awesome, though, so I won't be too hard on him. The acting world is less interesting with him gone (been over ten years now, damn). Somehow, the power outage plan is a go...so kudos for whoever pulled that off against the odds.

Haven't been paying too much attention to ringtones, though.

Nice, the senator didn't fall for CONNIVER's evil plotting to get dirt on him. I thought for sure he'd do some indiscretion leading into the second season (dunno if it's a direct continuation of this one or a timeskip or whatever), but it's nice he flipped the script on that hackneyed tactic. He even told that speechwriter to get her ass out of the hotel, haha.

And, yeah, this is pretty addicting. Some shows I don't bother watching because I've handled spoilers for 'em on the site, but after a ton of time and forgetfulness, it's good to experience a few.
