Interested? Hell yes!
I just got an email from someone at FOX who is thoughtfully letting us know that they have an interview with Joel Surnow available now at 24inside.com.
FOX thought you guys here would be interested to know that Joel goes into detail about the 24 movie - including totally unmentioned info to date. So get your butts over there right now to check it out!
And on a side note, I'm just going to "squeeeee" a little that someone at FOX has heard about this blog. So... "SQUEE!!!"
Hehe.

Tell Audrey I love her
Ahhhh shouts of, "OH MY GOD!" fill the room once more. I did not expect Heller to do a Thelma & Louise off the cliff at all. I thought he would do some spiffy drive tactics to try and lose the chopper and then he'd show up at the hangar to reunite with Audrey. Instead he owned up to his grave error, apologized for it, told his daughter he loved her and proceeded to plummet into a handy lake nearby.
That was hawesome (TM Wil Wheaton.)
But I am ahead of myself. Sorry. I was just so awed by Heller's sacrifice.
So here I am blogging from memory again :) We began with Jack and Audrey in the hangar at Van Nuys. Audrey, if you recall, had just had her arm slashed and was bleeding profusely all over the floor. Well now Jack was field dressing her (if ya know what I mean *wink wink*... just kidding.) Wexler, the agent who had been holding the recording's phone rang and Jack answered. It was Heller. Without going into detail Jack told him Henderson got the recording back. The cool thing was even though Jack laid a bit of a guilt trip on him, he asked Jack's forgiveness for his mistake. Definitely an honorable man. Anyway heller told Jack he had to get that recording back no matter what the consequences now.
Now, Chloe had escaped CTU's clutches and had arrived at Buchanan's house. She and Jack hooked back up and Jack had her using CTU resources remotely to track Henderson. He turned out to be not that far away. So Jack and Audrey jumped in a nearby police cruiser and sped off to intercept.
At the Presidential retreat, Logan and Henderson had a little chat about the recording. Logan wanted it destroyed - but Henderson said, "Ummmmmmm no." See, Henderson needs a little 'you kill me, I ruin you' insurance and refuses to destroy the recording. Instead he says it will be kept very safe.
By this time, Chloe has helped Jack get to Henderson and Jack runs his sorry ass off the road. After a showdown in a barn that he crashed into, Jack apprehends him. But while he's in a standoff with him, Henderson informs him that he, of course, has a contingency plan.
A helicopter has been tracking Heller after he left the Presidential compound and has orders to kill Heller should he miss the fifteen minute update. Jack calls Chloe and has her find Heller's car and download its location to his PDA. Next, he calls Heller himself and asks him to confirm that there is a chopper over his car. There is indeed.
Knowing he has very little time to get the recording from Henderson and save Heller, Heller instead forces Henderson's hand by declaring that Jack is not to give in to Henderson. He asks Jack to tell Audrey he loves her and well, drives off a cliff. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! I? was gobsmacked.
Poor Audrey. Poor pissed-off Audrey. Now she wants Henderson dead.
When Heller drove off the cliff Jack's armour broke down a little and he went a little off the rails on Henderson. Truly, he could not understand why Henderson was doing what he's doing. He asked him what happened to him. he asked him why he was doing this with such a look of confusing in his eyes it was heartbreaking. This was someone Jack once trusted and worked closely with. Perhaps he saw a path he himself could have walked down given the right circumstances - and perhaps it scared him a little.
But after all of that, Henderson admits to Jack that he doesn't have the recording anyway. *le sigh*
What does Jack do? Clocks him good with his gun, knocking him out. He cuffs him to a pipe by a wall and contacts Chloe. It turns out the reason Henderson wasn't far from the hangar when Jack got on his trail was because he had stopped for a while to hand off the recording to someone on another part of the Van Nuys airport. He had CHloe backtrace the sat feed and they found an airplane preparing for departure. A little geeky magic and they discover it's a diplomatic flight which is why its allowed to take off even though flights are supposed to still be grounded.
Jack has Buchanan contact Curtis (yay Curtis is coming back!) to come to the barn they're hanging out in and secure Henderson and get him and Audrey back to CTU. At first he tells Audrey he won't go intercept the plane until Curtis arrives but Audrey talks him into going anyway. She'll be fine yadda yadda yadda. Reluctantly, Jack goes after a tender moment with Audrey.
Meanwhile, back at CTU, Karen Hayes is becoming more and more suspicious about Logan's orders. Then it's reported to her that Chloe escaped and crazy sexual harassment girl let her go. When CSHG admits that Chloe intimidated her and told her there was some weird plot involving Logan and his duplicity, Karen pretty much confirmed her fears.
Back at the barn, Henderson comes to and tries to play on Audrey's grief. He knows she's upset and in pain so he quietly begins to tell her there's a chance her dad could still be alive if there was an air pocket in the car when he crashed. He wanted her to use a phone to call for help for her dad. But Audrey's not an idiot. She knows she can be tracked if she uses the phone. They had a bit of an emotional scene but she kept Henderson contained. I don't care what anyone thinks about her, I like Audrey. She's tough.
Unfortunately, Chloe, who was keeping a spare eye on the chopper tracking Heller noticed it was zeroing in on the barn. She called Jack and told him the dire news and he phoned Audrey and told her to get out of there. Curtis wasn't going to beat the chopper there. But Audrey said she could kill Henderson. Jack said no. Let him go and get the hell out of there.
As the chopper landed Audrey pointed the gun at Henderson and fought with her better judgement for a bit. And it won out and she ran off. But she managed to get herself cornered. As she prepared to start shooting at the thugs looking for her (on Hnderson's orders of shoot to kill) Curtis grabbed her and saved the day :) Woohoo!! I'm glad he's back.
A very relieved Jack heard about Curtis securing everything and was then free to concentrate on finding a way onto the plane that's about to take off.
Now, a new character has been intro'd. I think his name is Graham, but I'm going to call him Romano. I'm not really sure who he is but apparently he and his gang of suits are more powerful than Logan. Then again, Logan is about as powerful as... umm.. a not very powerful person. My metaphor powers are waning at the moment.
Anyway Romano and Logan have a little chat and Romano tells him that while the Henderson issue may be contained, Logan has a bigger problem with his wife. Logan says he will take care of it. Meanwhile Martha is stressing because Aaron has gone missing and didn't make it to their meet. Secret Service keeps telling her he's been transferred which she isn't buying. I really hope he wasn't killed :( Or if he is to be killed, Aaron deserves an on-camera death.
So the Secret Service sort of guide Martha into a room - and lock her in which of course freaks her out. Until Logan comes in and tells her everything. Which freaks her out. He then asks her to keep her mouth shut about everything - but in his whiny, it's for the good of the country bullshit way. Which really freaks her out. She utters the best line of the night: "I hate you." Yes folks, that was the best because I've been saying it all season.
But despite her newfound hatred for her husband, she agreed to keep her mouth shut. We'll see if she actually does.
At CTU, Karen Hayes' sidekick (who's just jealous of Chloe's skillz - have I mentioned that before?) manages to track down Chloe's location and sends a team to get her. But after Hayes makes a call to Mike Novick who confirms her fears more by what he didn't say than what he did say, she decides to warn Buchanan to get Chloe out of his house. But she refuses to go because Jack needs the passenger list for the plane.
So the show ends with Jack sneaking on board (with some pretty slick moves of riding in on top of the fuel truck, then jumping over to the luggage truck, then grabbing a couple of bags and casually carrying them right up the conveyor belt into the luggage hold. I guess that hood of his makes him invisible :) ) and Martha commencing to getting drunk. You go girl.
Fantastic show tonight guys. RIP Heller. And don't take this the wrong way, but I hope he is actually dead and they don't pull a soap opera thing by having him show up in an episode or two having "miraculously" escaped the sinking car and sucking on tire air or something. His was a good death. It should be left at that.

USA Weekend Preview
I got an email from someone at USA Weekend who asked me to post this info:
USA WEEKEND Magazine gives the season finale dish on this year's hottest TV shows in their April 30 issue.
24 will reveal a series of twists and executive producer Evan Katz says the finale is different than anything they've done before.
You can look for the article in a copy of the magazine or at www.usaweekend.com.
Squeeee :)
And off topic but I guess the general consensus is that liveblogging = bad. So I won't do it again. It sucked anyway because I wasn't able to enjoy the show as much. So blogging from my swiss cheese memory it is! :)
Seeyas later tonight.
