This ep's had some good moments (mostly from Morris) but it's shaping up to be the weakest, mostly in part to the family=terrorists stuff. Speaking of Morris' greatness:

[After new field ops guy grabs Morris by the collar:]
Milo: Are you okay?
Morris: This shirt's a blend; it doesn't wrinkle.



Morris and Chloe are an unstoppable sass team. Never change, CTU. Never change.

NOOOOOO, AUDREY DIEDDDDDD (off screen)



I was just about to pat Jack on the back for not making out with Rena Sofer and staying true, but then this happens!! And since it happened off screen, you know it's probably 100% legit and not some secret undercover sort of thing.

Chloe: We have a leak!

*dramatic music plays*

I wonder how the terrorists are -- yet again -- seeing eyes-only info at CTU. I doubt they'd make the Middle Eastern girl the leak after all the effort they've gone through to build up her character. Maybe Morris' shell shock and torture led to incompetence somewhere. All the main players are pretty trustworthy vets, except the new field ops guy, but he seems like a no-nonsense sort of dude. Then again, that US drill sergeant guy from earlier betrayed everyone, so...

I'm glad they cut out Wayne's sister's plot and that stuff. Hopefully that doesn't come back.

Oh, it was Nadia's workstation that was feeding intel to the enemy. It happened so fast, though, I smell a setup.

Palmer is back! Powers Boothe keeps trying to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the Cabinet wasn't having any of it. Now, he's trying to claim Karen's vote doesn't count. I'm curious how non-Americans enjoy American politics. I'd say it can seem kinda boring, but then again, I watched Yes Minister last year and it was friggin' amazing.

Jack using the autistic dude for the drop-off meeting was a little sketchy, though. Not any worse than torturing people, I guess, but it was funny seeing Jack handle him all sweetly, then going into the next room and yelling in his bro's face. Jack is both the good cop and the bad cop, haha.

Gredenko chopping off his arm is the wackiest point of the whole season for me.

It's just fucking bizarre. The deal was that if he leads them to Fayed via the gizmo in his arm then he goes free.

So he leads them to Fayed via the gizmo in his arm then chops it off and wanders away to die under a pier. But he'd fulfilled his part of the deal.

If he was chopping his arm off to avoid them following him to Fayed, why do it after they've followed him to Fayed? If he did it because he didn't trust them and thought they would double cross him, why lead them to Fayed? There's like, zero gap between "I've done what you asked as part of the deal" and "Hey, have you guys heard of a film called 27 Hours?" He doesn't give them a chance to renege on the deal, so if he trusted them that little he could have taken them literally anywhere except the one place Fayed was at.

It's absolutely my favourite moment of the entire season, but for all the wrong reasons.

Yeah, not sure what the hell he was doing. He even got some barflies to beat up Fayed as he escaped, even though he only made it about 100 feet before dying. What an odd bird.

So Jack and CTU staged a fake rescue of Fayed, which then led to Fayed somehow gunning down FIVE guys on his own, plus the driver, and escaping. We know the rescue was fake, which assumes the bullets they fired were blanks... So how did this happen? All I know is, you couldn't pay me a billion dollars to be a faceless squadmember of any of these teams, 'cause with 99% probability, they all end up dead.

Dammit, now Powers Boothe is pulling the plug on Audrey's rescue mission and Jack had to kick Doyle out of his car to continue anyway. I like how he mentioned something like "I had to shoot my old partner today, so don't think I won't do the same to you".

Yeah, it's pointless filler when the pace slackens a bit. It's a shame main plotlines would resolve in the 24th episode instead of dragging out with silly time-wasters. Looks like Karen or Buchanan might get the axe after Rob "Terrorist" Lowe gave up info on 'em to save his own hide. Maybe Tom'll do the right thing and take the proverbial bullet for Karen somehow.

Also, isn't it odd that the Chinese couldn't get even one suitcase nuke (which is supposed to be obsolete tech by this season), or even the blueprints to it, and now that they have it, don't have any computers that can easily decrypt or read it? They have to smuggle it out of the country to do so? Their planning isn't very good, even though they're always shown to be pretty competent otherwise. (Well, other than the friendly fire incident at the consulate, lmao.)

I can't believe these Chinese gunmen are going to blow their way into CTU headquarters, even though they have the chip and have generally escaped detection. I'm guessing Cheng is doing this to get Jack or something, but it's just a weird gambit to pull. Just take the chip and get outta Dodge, son.

Welp, finished season six. Papa Bauer got blown up on an oil rig after attempting to defect to China with Josh. Cheng got turned into Two-Face in the explosion and Doyle might've went permanently blind from a flashbang (or some other bomb) that exploded two millimeters from his face. Nadia did okay as director and the guy who was sent to replace her went into the conference room and was never mentioned again (????????????).

And, oh yeah, MILO DIEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD



Overall, an okay season, but had a higher ratio of improbable stupid stuff that brought it down. Powers Boothe (a.k.a. VP) was great, though, and even when he was doing pig-headed stupidity, he chewed the scenery well and stole many a limelight. I'm guessing S7 is a movie since the program guide thing didn't say the usual "S7E1 - Day 7 - etc." stuff when it was about to play. Curious to see how CTU is with Jack letting Audrey go and Karen/Buchanan living on a farm upstate, haha.

S7 isn't a movie, the thing you're thinking of is 24: Redemption, which is a prequel to S7

Since there's a chunky gap between S6 and S7 it helps set a lot of stuff up.
