All I remember from last week is that there was a firefight where 2 million rounds of ammunition were fired without anyone getting shot and Starbuck is a mole reprising a character that has appeared on what, 6 of 8 seasons? I mean... They should really try some new plot twists, these ones are tired.

This 24 Tag will take you to ALL of the '24' related content on Unlikelywords.

We'll get going below the fold at 9PM EST.

5:00 AM
-It's so awesome when you have a mole because you can to whatever you want.
-Am I off on this? Hasan's security files had tons of information on the people doing working with the nuclear rods. They had NO idea there was a mole inside CTU? Shouldn't Starbuck be in those files?
-"I can no longer guarantee the safety of Manhattan."
-Shouldn't they at least attempt some sort of evacuation.

5:14 AM
-Wait... How did Jack Bauer get there in 4 minutes? Wasn't he on the New Jersey side of the river?
5:15 AM
-Good thing the terrorist is on a phone that's scrambled and impossible to trace. Because... The phones are only traceable when it works.
-There's got to be a much better way to stage a coup than how these guys are doing it.
-There are only 150K people in 40 square blocks? That doesn't sound like a lot of people.
-"Facts on the ground."
-"Caving to any terrorist demand weakens this nation." Unlike the last couple years when they do it?
-President Taylor just had her Independence Day moment.
5:21 AM
-Now these guys are talking about sedition. What's the difference between sedition and treason?
5:24 AM
5:28 AM
-I bet if that general knew Jack Bauer was protecting Hasan, they would think differently about trying to attack the security detail.
-FYI, 6:15 AM is the deadline.
-24 blew up a nuke in California a couple years ago. Would they blow up NYC, too? Bold.
-"He's up an against an elite team who would take him by surprise." Words to live by! Jack Bauer is going to FUCK THEM UP.
-Haha. caught in the Principal's office!
-Nice that Ethan had Jack Bauer on speed dial.
-I think he's faking a heart attack. Right?
-Why doesn't Jack Bauer call someone else?
5:36 AM
5:41 AM
-Why doesn't the wet team just use snipers instead of having a kill zone?
5:42 AM
-Or gas? Why don't they use sleeping gas.
-Why doesn't the security detail have bigger weapons?
-Why don't they all retreat? Seems like they probably could put together a pretty strong defensive position?
5:46 AM
-They were under attack for about 4 minutes without anyone radioing for help? None of this makes any sense. Also, last week there was a 40 minute firefight where no one got shot. 6 people just died in 3 minutes.
5:51 AM
-Why does Jack have smoke bomb, but no assault weapons?
-Jack Bauer Knockdown Count is + 3 for this firefight.
-+4
-I couldn't be more critical of how that firefight played out. I mean... For real. And Jack Bauer made a phone call only 10 minutes ago. Why does he need to be on street level?
5:59 AM

What can you say? The show keeps shitting on us. And we keep scooping it up to eat more. Nom nom.

    The only good thing about this episode is that we now know this is the LAST season. I haven’t been this happy in years!

  2. Jono says:

    Can we rent the INDO out or something for the final night of 24?

  3. Jono says:

    I can no longer promise the safety of my bum

  4. Jono says:

    Did Hassad have time to shave? He looks like a cleaner shave in this scene

  5. Jono says:

    I doubt it’s impossible to trace. This is the US of A god damnit!

  6. Jono says:

    Terrorists love garages. If the CIA/FBI was smart they would just train all undercover agents to be mechanics

  7. Jono says:

    Ahh the old heart attack trick

  8. Michael says:

    Ya know, you’d think CTU would see all of these sat-phone and private calls to Starbucks personal cell, and raise some questions/awareness…

  9. Michael says:

    And yeah the firefights are so ridiculous…you couldn’t have said that any better
