The Hours: 24 - Day 7, 8-10 a.m.
 |
Let's see how long I can keep watching this show.
8-9 p.m.
Featuring: Janeane Garafalo, Krazee Eyez Killa, Dead Meat from Hot Shots, Red from That ’70s Show, that one creepy-nerdy guy from X-Files.
Within the hour, Jack Bauer goes from standing trial before the Senate for torture (self-representing!) to being green-lighted for torture by FBI agent Walker, whom he just met. CTU has been disbanded, but it looks like D.C. is the new L.A. The throw-pillow-faced President plans an invasion in a troubled African-country called Sangala (think Sudan or Sierra Leone) and, following standard 24 protocol, she calls the U.N. a pack of pussies. Tony’s back alive and a bad guy now, though Jack doesn’t believe it. He and some no-frills shaved-head thugs kidnap a nerd and force him to help them take over the Whatever System that controls air traffic, power grid, water, supermarket scanners, zoo walls, mall security, everything. Like from Live Free or Die Hard, I guess. WTF, government, stop making it so one nerd can be noogied into frakking with the whole infrastructure.
DEATH WATCH:
1 informant shot by a sniper
-1 Tony Almeda brought back to life
Untold number of Sangalan people being slaughtered by General Juma
9-10 p.m.
Featuring: President David Palmer (in a rather vague Allstate commercial)
Tony pretends to be an air traffic guy and almost makes two planes land on runways that criss-cross each other which strikes me as a risky design decision to begin with. Then he tells the one plane to pull up and is all “that was just a warning” although basically until Tony kills an innocent person for no good reason, everybody watching will suspect he’s secretly a good guy. President Pillowface talks to people and sets up meetings and blah blah blah. “Tanner,” the sniper who shot the informant right before he could spill the beans, is trapped in a building. Generic FBI Agent #1447 is assigned to keep an eye on Jack, who’s wearing a Paddington Bear raincoat for some reason. He uses it as an opportunity call Jack a misunderstood patriot who is so awesome. Jack says thanks and then runs away. Some other Fed helps Tanner escape and only superpatriot Bauer notices. As a reward, Walker gives him a fabulous new Dodge SUV and they go rogue. They follow Tanner to Tony’s boat and start dropping suckas left and right. Jack tackles Tony and there’s a lot of grunting. It’s basically season two slash fiction. Jack looks at Tony and says “What happened to you?” He’ll have to get back to you next hour. Beep.. Beep... Beep.
