Recap

Thanks to David G. for his recap:

In this fun-filled hour of TV, we learn President Hassan and Renee Walker are both losing their marbles, Dana Walsh goes through with her plot to help her ex steal money, but does it work? Find out in this recap! 

For the past few hours, we learn that after the attempt on his life President Hassan has not only grown angry at his brother for his betrayal, but also paranoid that everybody is after him, so he has been going against his initial views on peace, and began arresting some of his own men, because he was sure they were in on the conspiracy.  He is also threatening to terrorize their families in order for them to talk.  Needless to say, he’s losing his mind. 

Also losing her mind is Renee Walker.  She’s trying hard to make things work, and when Jack shows up, offering to pull her out, she tells him no, that would compromise everything, so he is forced to stay undercover.  When she tries to pressure Vladimir into asking for an initial $5 million dollars, he pushes her away, and says they are fine.  When he will not leave her alone, she goes postal, takes a knife out, and stabs him in the eye! If that wasn’t enough, she continues to stab him after he’s already dead.  When Jack comes to intervene, she stabs him in the gut! Though a simple stab to the gut isn’t enough to stop Jack Bauer, he still is able to toss that same knife into a villain nearby’s neck, and shoot down the rest of the Russians. Go Jack! 

Meanwhile, Dana Walsh walks her ex through the steps of thievery, gives him the security codes, and watches the security cams as he does his criminal act.  They find the right place, and they even find the money, but his partner isn’t happy with just that, so with 15 minutes until they are caught, they decide to stay and look for more cool things, like squirt guns. Needless to say, when those 15 minutes was up, a security guard showed up, and they had no choice, but to beat the man down with a baseball bat.  Stupid, now Dana’s career is in jeopardy. 

Well, after calling CTU, and giving them a quick briefing of what just happened, some more Russians showed up.  Jack stashed Renee into the bathroom’s closet, and went into the living room, bouncing right back into character. He told them he was forced to fight them when they backstabbed him.  So they took him away, leaving Renee in the closet to be later found by Agent Ortiz and the rest of CTU.  Jack is dragged through some underground tunnels, undetected by CTU’s drones. Tick tock tick tock.

Recap

Thanks to David G. for his recap:

In this next action filled hour of adventure, Renee continues to stay under cover, even when the whole ordeal became harsh quick.  Jack maintains his cover as the buyer, and Dana Walsh succumbs to her stalker’s demands? We’ll see about that.

The clock ticks nine at night, and Jack has just arrived to the scene where Renee was being held captive by Vladimir.  He took her with him when he began to trust her.  Jack is worried about her safety and wants to pull her out but Director Hastings says they cannot risk the operation, they just have to have faith in Renee.

It appears Dana Walsh is actually doing what her stalker ex was demanding.  She brought up some info on stolen money from a drug bust, telling him that she could get him in and out, no questions asked. She found out the codes, and printed a card off for him that would grant him access.  She was able to get it to him, but not before her not-so-secret admirer co-worker spotted her deal over the security cameras.  I’m betting in the end she’ll set him up.

The last time we saw Josef, he was sneaking his brother into a hospital and having a doctor take a look at him without questions.  Throughout the episode we realize that indeed the brother is in serious condition and needs a bone marrow transplant.  Seeing how Josef can’t risk it, he asked if there was anything else the good doctor could do for him.  It appears that maybe there is something they could do, but there are no promises.  He gave him some medication that would begin to show signs of improvement in a week, well seeing we don’t have a week, I’m already thinking somewhere along this season, this guy is going to die.

Well it doesn’t take long for Vladimir to go after Renee. She gave Jack a call to let him know the deal is on, and he would be there soon.  Vladimir took this as an opportunity to get friendly with Renee, ignoring her constant rejections.  When Jack told her over her earpiece (that she has no problem wearing in the shower) that she doesn’t have to do this, they can find another way, she told him this was the only way, and then flushed the earpiece.

So Jack then went under his cover, rocking his creepy glasses look from “Phonebooth”.  They noticed almost right away that he had an American accent while speaking German. So they decided to have the rest of the conversation in English.  The deal went by pretty smoothly. He wired the five million dollars into their account, to which they tried to kill him, under Vladimir’s orders, of course. Jack wasn’t stupid though, he’s done this before.  Agent Cole Ortiz was acting as the sniper, and took everyone down, all except the man who Jack was dealing with personally.  After a conversation with a frustrated Vladimir,  Jack and the man were off to do some actual business.  By actual, I mean Jack is probably going to kick some major tail when he finds Vladimir.

Back at the hospital, Josef was found by his father’s men.  Obeying his orders, they took Josef and his brother back into custody.  You can bet their father was not very happy with this attempt to save his son’s life.  To punish Josef, he pulled out a gun, and shot his dying son in the chest, taking away his final breath. I guess I was right about him dying this season. I’m not sure exactly why the father doesn’t want his son to live.  Maybe it is so it removes any growing questions revolving the weaponized uranium.

Recap

Thanks to David G. for his recap (written in real time):

In this episode of 24, Renee continues to prove to everyone that she is unstable while undercover with the Russians, CTU analyst Dana Walsh meets with her mystery stalker to which we finally are givin some insight as to what’s going on, and finally David Ander’s character tries to save his brother’s life from the rapid effects of the weaponized uranium.

We start the hour off with Josef Bazhaev (Anders) worrying about the life of his brother, who is suffering from the effects of the uranium. Their father, on the other hand couldn’t care less if his son dies, and tells him to just let it happen.  This doesn’t pass off as acceptable, so Josef takes his brother to a doctor and tells him to operate under the table, seeing he has the effects of illegal weaponized uranium in his system. This was pretty much their storyline of the hour.

CTU Analyst Dana Walsh can’t seem to get this stalker off her back when he calls her again.  This time, he wants her to meet him face to face at her apartment so they can settle some things, needless to say, she agrees because had she said no, he would have called her boyfriend, Ortiz, and told him about her past.  Apparently she was an accessory to murder. He explained it as her name isn’t really Dana Walsh, its Jenny and she is an ex-con that had something to do with a murder. They way I see it, is she was caught in something bad, probably a getaway driver, when her boyfriend (the stalker) killed someone.  We learn more about that later.

Renee is still trying to keep her cover.  Jack thinks she is unstable, which she obviously is.  She convinces him to leave before the guy wakes up.  Apparently she didn’t cut the guy’s hand off, it was only his thumb, so my bad.  Well, Jack gives her another shot, and leaves.  When the man comes to, Renee tells him that he’s free and offers him a little money, and he seems to forget all about his missing thumb and takes her to the man, Vladimir Laitanan, to find out more about the uranium. He tests her on her loyalty asking her questions.  Thanks to Chloe’s googling powers, each question was answered correctly, but Vlad isn’t completely sure she is telling the truth, so he shoves her in a car trunk and drives off.  Jack then drives after the car.

When Dana meets her stalker, she offers him $1,000 to leave her alone once and for all, but as it turns out, he’s not after her money, he’s after her job.  He knows that she has access to some highly classified security files, like bank codes and files.  He wants her to hand over some info, so he can get his hands on six figures.  Supposedly, if she does this one job for him, he’ll leave her alone for good, but something tells me he won’t.

It turns out the car Jack was following was a decoy, and Renee was really on the other side of town.  Vlad pulled a gun on her asking her who she really is.  Jack listens on the other line as Renee tells him to pull the trigger, that she really has nothing to live for other than this job.  He takes the bate, and lets her live…phew.  

Jack has to feel guilty for what Renee has been going through.  Had last season not happened, Renee wouldn’t have tried to commit suicide.  Everybody around Jack tends to get hurt or dies, I just hope this season, Jack can do some right.  I wonder how Dana is going to deal with this, will she do the dirty work, or will she do the right thing? Only time will tell, and the clock is ticking…

Recap

Thanks to David G. for his recap:

24 is back with another 2 day 4 hour premiere event! They decided to go old school again with an assasination attempt on the President of some fictional country. President Allison Taylor is back and making an arrangement with him to pull back troops in that country. Jack is living pretty happily with his granddaughter, Terri, watching cartoons. When kim came to pick Terri up, her current boyfriend, or husband, is Paul Wesley, from the Vapire Diaries, I knew I saw that guy before! Well they are heading back home in Los Angeles soon, and they want Jack to come with them, because this season they are in New York City! Well he finally agreed to leave with them he was greeted by a bleeding man at the door. 

Earlier we saw this man flee the scene of a crime when a body laid emotionless in a bathtub.  He learned of the assasination attempt on President Omar Hassan’s life, and just had to tell Jack Bauer so he could ruin his life once more. Jack Bauer litterally says, oh no…not again. Chill out, Jack…it’ll all be over by tomorrow, right? 
So Jack’s one mission the entire first episode is to get this man to CTU New York, which proves to be more difficult than one can imagine. 

When we finally get a look at CTU New York, I quietly ask myself if we’ve been sent to the future this season as their technology has been massively advanced.  We have doors that vertically open to a white space port looking room, everything is opened via hand scanners.  There’s apparently drones all over the world, whatever that means.  They are obviously cameras, but my theory is that they are really invisible robots in the sky watching our every move. There is a new director in control of everything, Brain Hastings, and my personal opinon is that he’s the worst director CTU has ever had.  Not only that, I don’t even think he’s a good actor.  He slouches every time he walks, and its a funny walk too.  Kind of like he owns the place, but doesn’t know what the heck he’s doing at the same time.

 Chloe is also in New York, I wasn’t sure why at first, but it has something to do with Morris.  She seems to be having a little trouble with CTU’s sci-fi technologies, and is actually asking for help.  Finally, we have two new characters to the show, CTU analysts Cole Ortiz and Dana Walsh.  Played by Freddie Prinze Jr. and Katee Sackoff.  Somethings screwy out her, but I’ll get to that later.

 Well the bloody guy, Victor Aruz, who showed up at Jack’s doorsteps collapsed on their way to CTU.  A random guy noticed and called 911.  Pretty soon, police showed up as well as a couple assasins to kill Aruz.  The killers killed the cops, and Jack and Aruz ran into an abandoned building.  There Jack made his first kill of the day, to which my jaw dropped.  He axed the first guy, and knocked the other one down, tumbling down the stairwell. This was added to my five top favorite Jack moments, included with it are when Jack killed the guy by biting his neck, and when he said “I’m gonna need a hacksaw.” “Drop the coffee” and finally “You probably don’t think I can force this towel down your throat, but trust me I can, all the way.” Treatening to rip out his guts once the towel started to digest…good stuff. 

Finally Cole Ortiz made it to the building in a helicoptor, and got off to help Jack.  They handed Aruz to the pilot, then the chopper blew up when a missle came out of no where.  Before Aruz died, he told Jack the assasin has someone on the inside who is close to President Hassan.  Possibly a blonde woman they kept showing us throughout the episode. The clock ticks 5:00 P.M.
 
After the intel that Aruz gave Jack, CTU learned the “inside man” was the blonde reporter, Meredith Reed.  So Director Brian Hastings doesn’t think twice about it, and brings her in.  Forget about Chloe’s attempt to look at another angle, everybody knows you’re guilty until proven innocent, even when an actual killer is still out there. Well, when all is wrong, Jack would listen to her, but Jack doesn’t seem to care.  All he wants to do is go to LA with his daughter.  Finally, Kim tells Jack to do the right thing and stay.  Oh well, I’m sure she’ll get kidnapped again soon. 

Well, Jack’s back, and because Hastings won’t listen to him, its time for him to go behind everyone’s back again.  So he goes to CTU’s armory and steals some weapons.  It wasn’t long before the security found him, and he once again arrested…or so I thought.  Hastings let him go, thinking he’s chasing after ghosts.  He let Chloe help him, seeing he’s not caring much about her anyway, because he’s a terrible director. 
Well back to what I was saying before, CTU’s Dana Walsh got a call from somebody claming that she’s someone else, not Dana Walsh.  My initial thought was that she was in Witness Protection, and she’s been found, but that served to be wrong because she’s the one with the secret that could ruin her career…I just wonder what that is.
  
It is now 6:00 P.M.  The man we have been getting more and more info on, the man Chloe believes is the man setting up Meredith Reed takes a policeman and his wife hostage.  We find out it is because he wants the policeman to call into work sick, and that he’s having someone else take his place, him. 

Jack got to the house after a run-in with some tough ball-players.  Though they backed off at the sight of Jack’s gun.  They pointed at the house, and when he got there, he realized the cop and his wife were already dead, so he inspected the scene of the crime.  The bad guy was already gone, but it wasn’t long before the police showed up, tasing Jack to the ground.  Jack wasn’t able to shout “Don’t tase me bro” 
Well, it seems police officers don’t look to highly on cop killers, and they think Jack did it.  So, Jack needs to get beat up a bit, and yes, these cops are wasting time. Because the first attempt on Hassan’s life will be made within the hour. 

At CTU, Dana Walshes mystery caller shows up and meets up with her.  When she went out to meet him, he refused to leave her alone.  To temporarily get rid of him, she gave him her apartment key.  When she asked if he needed her address, he said “I already got it.”  Creepy.  Maybe giving him your key wasn’t the smartest idea. 

In the space-station’s interogation room, Merideth Reed was being questioned about the whole Hassan thing.  It doesn’t take her long to crack, and tell him that they are having an affair.  Later, when asked about it, Hassan confirmed the relationship, but Hastings isn’t convinced she’s innocent quite yet. Because he’s a terrible director. 
So if Merideth Reed isn’t the “inside man” who is? You might ask.  Well we find out that it is none other than Hassan’s brother.  Well the encrypted file they found on Merideth’s affects showed the location of a bomb at the U.N. Ortiz is skepticle that there’s actually a bomb in the highly secure building, but bad director Hastings tells him to evacuate now, leading the President right into the hands of the bad men. 

After Jack finally gets free from the cops grasps, he’s able to contact Ortiz, saying that there is an assassin there, potraying a police officer, and he’s going to try to kill the President.  Cole Ortiz takes Jack’s info, and he charges after the President to save his life, he pulls his car around and blocks the President’s car off just in time for the bomb to go off, blowing both cars in opposite directions….tick…tick…tick. 
 
Thank goodness both men were fine.  Heck Tony and Michelle weren’t even in the car when it blew up and killed her, but Ortiz was absolutely fine.  He was able to get Hassan out of his vehicle just in time to see the assassin flee the scene. Time to play cat and mouse. Hassan’s brother also freaks out, stabbing the first security officer he sees, and running.  Of course Hassan learns of this, and is not very happy of his brothers betrayal. 

Well the assassin makes the drop on Ortiz, and orders him to pull CTU off his back, but Ortiz surprisingly does the right thing and risks his own life, telling them he’s there.  Before the assassin pops Ortiz, Jack saves the day…or hour rather, and shoots the assassin.  That’s when we first see the tattoos. Jack takes some pictures with his SPRINT phone, I think we get the idea, Fox. 

The tattoos proved to be part of the Russian Maffia.  Thankfully for CTU, they know someone who was undercover with the Russian Mob, none other than Renee Walker! Yes, I knew after last season they couldn’t just kick her off the show, she was too good…she’s back, and I can’t wait. So they are bringing her in, to debrief her… 

We soon learn from the assassin’s body that it was exposed to some kind of weaponized version of uranium.  Great…another virus?  Who knows, one can only guess. Well when Renee flew in rather quickly, Hastings makes another stupid decision and asks her to go back undercover to find this uranium.  She says okay, but something seems off with her. 

Jack confronted her and told her he was worried about her, she has cuts on her wrists after apparently trying to commit suicide. He said going undercover may not be the best decision right now.  Well she told him it was her decision, not his.  So he decided to go with her. She didn’t like having a babysitter. He was to play the buyer. 

Everything seems to go well.  Renee bounced back into her cover, and everything seems to go alright, until she cuts the guys hand off! Jack wants to end the whole cover but she told him she’s just getting started.  Wow, Renee is crazy this season! I wonder, not for the first time, if Renee will take Jack’s place as the lead in 24 if Jack finally get’s a day off. Only time will tell.  This season seems to be promising, and I can’t wait for the next episode.

Dave dies laughing and then says, “You doing a remake of Beverly Hillbillies? You’re Granny?” He followed up with an offer, “If you get on the subway like that, I’ll give you $1,000.”

Kiefer responded, “Riding the subway would be easier than what I’m going through right now. This I think might be the most humiliating moment of life, and I’ve had a few to choose from.”

This week is the Winter TCA tour (The Television Critics Association) and FOX revealed that this may not be the end of 24! Would you want to see a 24 Season 9?

As far as Kiefer Sutherland and executive producer Howard Gordon is concerned, they’ll keep doing the show as long as FOX wants them to.

“This is one of the greatest gifts of my life, doing 24. So I’m open to it,” said Sutherland. “Right now, my focus is on finishing season eight.”

“It’s certainly a possibility,” said Gordon, who explained that it’s always been FOX’s option whether to continue or not, even when Sutherland had years left on his contract.

FOX Entertainment President Kevin Reilly chimed in, telling iF Magazine that it’s the last contractual year, but who knows what will happen next in regards to a 24 Season 9. “I’m very thrilled with this season. The reception will be very positive from an audience standpoint. We collectively said, ‘let’s let it launched, get into Spring and sit down and talk about it.’”

Reilly adds that it’s in Spring that writers will have to break stories for next season, so that’s the latest they could make a decision.

“I certainly know Kiefer loves and would continue to do it,” says Reilly. “But it’s such a hard show to produce [for the producers], that we’re going to let them finish [this season] and regroup.”

It’s another 24 Season 8 Promo Video!

When we last saw Jack Bauer (Golden Globe® and Emmy® winner Kiefer Sutherland), his life was hanging in the balance. But, true to form, the hardest man in television is back for another heart stopping, action-packed series of the award-winning US drama series 24.

At the start of 24’s new, eighth season, Bauer is hoping for a quiet life with his daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert, Captivity) and his granddaughter. However, a group of terrorists have other plans and an assassination plot against a visiting Middle Eastern leader Omar Hassan (Anil Kapoor, Slumdog Millionaire) is uncovered. It’s not long before Bauer is called upon to help prevent Hassan’s murder.

Kiefer Sutherland said: “Season 7 and 8…are really connected together. The storylines from Season 7 really do play all the way through into Season 8. The setup for [this season] is the most realistic political thing that I think we’ve ever done since we started the show. This season is more grounded in what possibly could happen. There’s a sense of reality that almost brings it back to Season 1.”
