11am - 12pm
I'm sincerely sorry I dropped the ball on this this week. It was always my goal to have a full recap of the show up right after it aired. Then my recaps got longer and longer and ended up taking me hours to do which caused me to go to bed later and later until finally I said 'screw that, I need my beauty sleep' :) Then one thing after another would come up until I'm left apologizing for leaving it so long.
Anyway I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me blather on about my shortcomings so on with the recap!
During the opening minutes, the aftermath of the Saunders takedown is happening. Jack is trying to wrangle information out of him about the eleven other vials he's dispersed throughout the country. Techs are trying in vain to extract the information out of his laptop, but Saunders casually comments that he'd never be so stupid as to put that info on it. The abort mission codes for each courier with the virus is in his head. And he won't give them up until Jack can guarantee that Palmer will allow him to fuck off to North Africa... Where Nina was meant to be. Hmmmm...
Meanwhile Tony was taken into custody on orders from Brad Hammond. Jack isn't happy about it but there's little he can do at this time. He tells Tony he'll do what he can for him.
Saunders is still being a butthead so Jack has Jane speak to him to try and reach him in a way Jack never could. It's obvious Saunders loves Jane because the cracks in his manner begin to appear during this sequence. He tries in an almost manic, psychotic way, with a freaky/scary grin on his face to convince Jane that she will thank him one day for what he's doing. It was quite creepy. And Jane isn't buying it either. She sees him as someone else now, not her father - a man she loved. The realization of the magnitude of Saunders' actions is really sinking in now. She leaves him unable to even look at him anymore. Jack watches from the peripheral edges and he knows Jane was unable to break him herself. So he takes Saunders and I think Jane as well and they head off in a chopper.
A phone rings and we see Sherry chilling out on her patio sipping a mimosa as waves crash on the beach behind her. She answers and it's David again. This time it's a recalcitrant David. He seems beaten and Sherry almostcomes off as triumphant. He's willing to offer her that seat at the table she's so desperate to have as long as she backs off her blackmail attempt. Sherry's surprised that David's caving and is reluctant to meet him in some park to discuss this. But eventually her greed overcomes her instincts and she gets ready to meet him.
Little does she know it's just a ruse to get her away from her house while Wayne and this Foxton guy break in and search for the pill bottle. As they wait for Sherry to leave, Wayne's cell rings. It's Julia. She of the terrible timing. She's wigging out and weeping all over the place. I have to say she irks me and can't believe someone as weak and pitiful as her ended up with a powerful and rich husband. Must have been the trophy wife thang happening there. Anyway she desperately wants Wayne to come help her because the the police are coming to arrest her soon and she's afraid. She can't believe that the President is covering for Sherry and the realization dawns on her that she's going to be taking the fall for Milliken's death. Wayne has no choice but to blow her off though because finally, Sherry leaves the house. This is the point where I called that Julia was going to off herself. Go me :)
Jack arrives at the Chandler Hotel with Saunders and Jane in tow. The sight of boil-infested dead bodies fails to move Saunders. His belief in his cause is too intense. So Jack, in his quest to do whatever it takes to get his way summons Jane from the chopper. He then tells Saunders that he will put her into the hotel until she becomes infected unless he gives up the info on the other vials. Saunders doesn't think Jack will do it. Which is really quite stupid on his part because this is the man Saunders had execute Chappelle. And Jack did it. Why wouldn't he stick Jane in the hotel? He has no emotional attachment to Jane and would probably assign her to that file in hs brain labeled 'Acceptable Loss.'
Jack can see Saunders doesn't think he'll do it so he gives the order for Chase to put her in there and what follows is some of the most intense moments on the show since Syed Ali's interrogation. Jane shrieks in terror and Saunders follows suit. His fear for Jane is what ultimately breaks him and just as they are about to open the door to push her in, Saunders loses his will. He shouts to Jack that he'll give up his information. Jane is saved. He tells Jack that the vials are tagged with GPS codes that allowed him to track their locations. The codes are what he has memorized. Jack plops him in front of a computer and soon ten of the eleven vials are tracked. CTU agents around the country are mobilized and head off to intercept each of them. The missing vial is, of course, located in L.A.
Saunders tells Jack that he only knows the L.A. courier by a probably alias 'Arthur Rabens'. Jack gets CTU going on tracing that name. He then sends Chase and Saunders back to CTU so that Saunders can work with a sketch artist to come up with a description of this courier. Jane is to stay at the hotel site... How ominous...
While Jack is talking with Adam about locating Rabens, Brad Hammond gets on the line. Jack briefs him quickly but then launches into a mini-rant about how they should go easy on Tony, but Hammond is going to be a dick about it. Even after Jack reminds Hammond about how he went rogue to save his family and also reminds him that they wouldn't even have known about this virus attack if it wasn't for the work he, Gael and Tony did on getting it. Tony is a resource and an asset and should be allowed to see this through. Hammond is still a dick.
Tony arrives at CTU and in an uncomfortably embarrassing scene he is led in cuffs to a holding room as everyone at CTU silently watches. Michelle is there at CTU as well, but she doesn't see Tony as he's led in. Poor Tony. Once in the room Hammond enters and pretty much tells Tony he's going to jail at the very least. For twenty years. At the most he could get the death penalty for what he's done.
Back at Chez Sherry, Foxton and Wayne are frustrated as the fail to turn up any evidence of the pill bottle. Wayne can't seem to get over the fact that he's the Chief of Staff and here he is committing burglary. Hey, no one asked you to come along wankerboy. Foxton is digging through Sherry's medicine cabinet (ah come on, like she'd really hide it there) and says one of the best lines of the night: "Looks like Sherry believes in better living through chemistry." I don't know why but that really cracked me up.
At an undisclosed area of a park Palmer waits for Sherry. When she arrives they have a discussion about the concessions Palmer's willing to make to stay out of trouble. He's willing to make her a consultant, in on the big decisions. But that's not enough for Sherry. "I want to be your wife again." David is aghast and hesitates for a few moments before agreeing to that. Then in the most cringe-inducing hug since Chappelle hugged Michelle after Tony came out of surgery, Sherry fell into David's arms. The look of repugnance on David's face is palpable. But then Sherry pulls back. She realizes that she's really just being played. For what she doesn't know, but she knows deep down Palmer has no intention of becoming her husband again. She stalks off vowing to continue to help Keeler.
Palmer warns Wayne that Sherry's on her way back and just then Foxton discovers a hidden cellar and with a smug look on his smarmy face he an Wayne head down into it and discover a safe. He can't crack it but knows someone who can get him override codes for it. Wayne begins to panic as he knows Sherry will be there at any moment.
Jack and Chase watch several agents around the country via satellite (Live! Via Satellite on Pay Per View: Bad Guy Takedowns!)take down several couriers, neutralizing the threats in the bigger cities. Chloe traces Rabens down and confirms that he is in Los Angeles and she has a location on him. I'm a little fuzzy on how that all happened but anyway. Jack and Chase take off to capture him.
At CTU Michelle questions Hammond as to why she's not allowed to see Tony. She tries to convince Hammond that what Tony did is no different that what Jacks has done - except she learns that Tony was instrumental in letting Saunders escape from his building by sending agents away from an exit. Michelle did not know this and it's this act alone, IMO that is what sets what Tony did apart from what Jack has done. I'll save my reasons for that for another blog :) Michelle is gobsmacked when she learns this. Hammond asks her to put herself in Tony's situation. Would she have done the same? Michelle has no answer.
Soon, all ten other vials are secure and the country is safe. But L.A. isn't. Chloe guides Jack and Chase as they follow Rabens. She keeps telling them that they should have Raben's vehicle in view, but the streets are empty. Confused, Jack glances around and spots a subway sign. Rabens must be on a train underground. He orders a team of undercovers in as well as a standby Hazmat team and they quickly move into the station after Chloe taps into the subway system and stops the train before it enters the station.
As they prepare to capture Rabens, Wayne hears Sherry come into the house. Foxton refused to leave but cleverly hid away before Sherry saw him. Wayne though, like a deer caught in headlights, turns around to face Sherry who gets all self-righteous claiming David sent him in to do his dirty work. But before we can go further down this road, Foxton pops out and clocks Sherry good, knocking her out. It was priceless :) As she lays unconscious on the floor, Foxton discovers the pill bottle taped to the small of her back and with a triumphant 'Ha!' look on his face, he holds it up.
Back at the subway station, Jack waits for his team to get into place before he tells Chloe to release the train. They all have a very vague description of Rabens because Saunders is being pokey about giving the details to the sketch artist. As passengers step off the train it's a matter of narrowing down the men who fit the description as Chloe tracks movement on the GPS. She notes that the subject has stopped moving and Jack can see a man standing in front of a subway map. He initiates takedown, corners the man at the map and forces him to the ground while his shopping bag is searched. They find a pack of cigs with the GPS device inside. When the man on the ground says he doesn't smoke, Jack realizes that Rabens 'made' them and is still in play (I'm getting better at these terms :) ) Jack locks down the station.
Wayne and Foxton are just about to leave when Julia 'I'm taking you with me' Milliken pulls up at Sherry's house. Wayne follows her inside and is stunned to see Julia with a gun trained on a groggy Sherry, ready to kill her. She tells Sherry that she's not going to take the fall for her sorry ass. Sherry pleads in her oily way, promising the moon if she'll just put the gun down. Wayne pleads too. It's no use. Julia's too far gone, and she plugs two bullets into Sherry, killing her. *moment of silence for a wonderful villain*
As she looks teary-eyed at Wayne, she says she's sorry before turning the gun on herself and blowing her brains out. Shocked and sobbing, Wayne holds Julia in his arms.
Back at the subway, the search begins for Rabens... Tick boom, tick boom.
One more episode. One finale that promises to be incredible. And then it's all over and we'll have to wait another eight months before we can watch a day in the life of Jack Bauer. *heavy sigh*

The glass is half full.
That's what I'm going to tell myself. It's official that 24 will premiere in January 2005 now and move to Monday nights. Below is an excerpt from a Zap2it article:
FOX aims to bring stability back to "24" next year. The series won't return until January, when it moves into a new time period on Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET. The show will get a two-hour premiere and a two-hour finale. FOX Entertainment President Gail Berman also promises a two-hour special event episode in the middle of the season. The three instances of doubling down will allow "24" to reach its conclusion by the end of the May sweeps period.
Now, I can totally dig a two hour premiere and finale (or 'Fin-all' - hehehe) and now I'm all curious about a special event episode. Wonder what that will be. I've read quite a bit about the logic of FOX's decision regarding the show, and I hate to say that it sounds pretty good. I'm just worried about the Monday night move. But hell I'd watch the show on Saturday mornings if I had to :)
Anyway, that's that and I'll just have to deal with waiting eight months for a new day in Jack's life. I'm sure any Soprano fans out there are thinking 'oh quit your bitching, we waited much longer than that.' and you'll get your wish. No more bitching from me :)
Recap, still working on. Many appy-loggies for the delay. I've been working on it sporadically whilst setting up a new forum for the Kiefer-fanatics out there. If you want to check it out, please do! It's empty right now because I haven't told many people about it, and just sort of 'released' it today. But the major work on it is complete barring some minor tweaks. It's located on my own server so it's ad-free :) Enjoy and check back later to see if I've managed to finish writing the recap.

Stupid FOX!
Apparently FOX is planning to announce tomorrow during their upfront presentations for upcoming schedules that the premiere of Season 4 of 24 will be in January - and moved to Monday nights. For fuck's sake :( I don't care so much about a shift to a new day, I'll watch the show whenever it's on. But having to wait til freaking January just plain sucks. Of course, it sucks for me, the viewer for purely selfish reasons becaue if I had my perfect little world, Jack Bauer would be saving the world seven days a week, 365 days a year. It's probably beneficial to the actual people who produce and write the show though because this gives them a nice long break to really flesh out the season and plan it well. It probably also gives the principal cast time off to pursue other projects (ie. Kiefer's upcoming role in a film called 'River Queen' that is in pre-production right now.)
Here are a couple articles discussing this potential shift and they almost make it out like FOX is trying to kill the show by giving it a slow death on Monday nights against Big 3 networks cornerstone shows and sporting events. I truly hope that's not true. 24 is one of the best shows on television but it's status is precarious because of its format. If you mess with it too much, you might end up losing viewers.
*sigh*

Whahey I rock :)
Oh. My. God. I predicted something!!! I said to my daughter right after Julia called Wayne, "She's going to kill herself because she's weak." AND I WAS RIGHT! *faint* I've never predicted anything on this show before. I'm so proud :) Now, if that's a comment on how easy the writers, or the actress made that one I don't know. All I know is this show has never failed to make me look silly when I tried to guess what's going to happen so I gave up :)
Anyway, so wow. Ding Dong the bitch is dead. That I did not see coming. I was going with the completion of the downfall of Palmer in the final two episodes, not that he'd end up being in the clear despite all of his bad choices during this day. So now Keith and Nicole are motherless (not that they had much of a mum to begin with) and David can tell Keeler to shove his campaign up his ass and Wanker - I mean Wayne can bemoan the fact that he, just like Dr. Anne had to watch someone they once loved commit suicide in front of them. Interesting parallel there.
And how freaking intense was the scene with Jack, Jane and Saunders? Ugh I have no fingernails left. That was simply incredible. I'm a little bit lost on Saunders' motivation still though. Just seems a bit too... what's the word I want.. fictional? Generic? to be doing all of this with the virus just because America's not very popular outside its borders.
Anyway enough for now, I've got an early morning start so I'd better get to bed. Everything's copacetic in my life right now so barring any disasters, I should have the full recap up tomorrow. Boooo to only having one more episode to go. I'm dreading/anticipating it. Very weird feeling.
