Unlikely Words

7:00: Fayed’s henchman is speaking truth to power.

-“If we don’t leave know, we’ll jeopardize the mission.”

-The first car Jack Bauer breaks into has a cell phone. He’s the perfect spy because he’s also very lucky.

-“Jack Bauer’s calling, line 2.” Heh. That’s awesome. I wish we didn’t know Jack Bauer had escaped so when he called it was a surprise, then they could flash back to him killing that dude. That would have been a better entrance.

-Tom doesn’t not want to kill Assad.

-Oh, Karen Hayes, when will you ever learn to stop underestimating Jack Bauer? Ever? Never?

-God, I hate this Tom schmuck.

-Jack Bauer memorized Assad’s coordinates and is heading to the scene. Because that crummy flip phone that someone left in the car has GPS. Thank you, Sprint.

-Kumar really doesn’t seem like he’s the same age as Scott. They probably could have done this set up a little differently.

-Jack Bauer has been prepping for this strike for 20 months. He’s been salivating just thinking about killing, looking, thinking, thinking, killing, spying, rescuing. Every Chinese torture session found Jack Bauer planning strikes in his head.

-JBKC: 2 (Assad’s guy.)

7:19: That’s it! The government is always talking about how regular citizens don’t need to be concerned with the extra-constitutional intelligence strategies that the government is using (the NSA phone taps, the signing order allowing the President to read your mail, the Pentagon looking at your financial records) because you don’t have anything to hide. This lawyer lady hits the nail on the head. We don’t have anything to hide, we have something to protect. Her boss wants to sacrifice privacy because the country is under attack. No way. Ah! Sandra Palmer, the President’s sister!

-I like that Sandra is a kick ass lawyer, not a “flag burning idealist”, and I like how she knew to look out for Tom Lennox, everyone knows that guy’s a neocon douche bag.

-Woah, the President’s sister is in love with a terrorist. Just kidding. That seems like a political liability, no?

-Tom talks like Yoda. “Likely there will be more attacks, but respond he will, guaranteed.”

-Haven’t the terrorists learned to not drive around in vans without windows.

7:25: Fayed looks like Vin Diesell with a gap tooth.

7:32: Torture scene, 2.

-Assad looks upon Jack Bauer’s torture techniques with admiration and… lust?

-Wow, Jack Bauer is losing his touch, huh? Assad is to Jack Bauer as what is to what? Assad is cold blooded. He just stuck a knife right into that guy’s knee cap.

-“I don’t know how to do this anymore.” “You’ll remember.” We hope so, or else there isn’t a show.

-7:47: My guess is that if the FBI was going to Sandra Palmer’s place of work, they’d send an upper level person. This guy’s got to have connections to Tom Lynch.

-Stan the contractor is a boor, but he just might be preventing some serious shit.

-And now he’s dead.

-Ahmed is just not that convincing as a terrorist.

7:52: Jack Bauer is just going to separate from Assad without anyway of getting in touch with him in the future? How are they going to coordinate future missions? And. Doesn’t Fayed’s guy, the detonator, probably know what Assad looks like?

-LA has a subway system? And. How did they just arrange a car to be parked in downtown LA? They don’t have meters there?

-Awesome. JBKC: 3 (suicide bomber). So far, 2 of Jack Bauer’s kills/knockdowns have been out of the ordinary. How many CTU agents can say they’ve kicked a suicide bomber out the back of a moving train?

-The bomber would almost assuredly not have gotten on the last train, right?

-2 more bombings. But maybe some good news, a man called Jack Bauer.

-The NSA surveillance software can red tag phone calls? That’s some hot software. They can listen, but not locate?

-That guy Tom is a SNAKE, man. I wonder if there’s a way for someone to kill him or at least arrest him.

-“This is going to get much worse.” Wayne, don’t worry about it, baby, Jack Bauer is on the case. There’s only one way for it to get, and that way is better, not worse.

-Oh good, Jack and Assad exchanged numbers. That was smart, now they can catch up…
