‘You're A Little Bitch!!’ 24 7.9!!

Published at:  Feb 16, 2009 9:21:53 PM CST

SPOILER ALERT !!



I am – Hercules!!



The terrorist Dubaku has American girlfriend issues! It reminds me of that old SNL sketch in which Bill Murray gets in dutch with the little woman because his old pal Idi Amin is such a horrible houseguest, torturing enemies in their suburban basement.


Fox publicity photos suggest “Larry Sanders Show” bookers Janeane Garofalo and Mary Lynn Rajskub will again be seen together in the same room. Fox says:

After eight hellacious hours of this terrible day have elapsed, the country remains on edge. President Taylor struggles with the painful circumstances facing the First Family, including her daughter Olivia (guest star Sprague Grayden). Meanwhile, a huffy Chloe faces-off against paranoid FBI Agent Janis Gold, while Jack and Agent Walker track leads through Washington, D.C. to eliminate the threat of another ruthless terror attack.


Sprague Grayden, for those unaware, was the hot, mechanically inclined teacher on “Jericho.” She also had recurring roles on “John Doe,” “Joan of Arcadia,” “Six Feet Under,” “Over There,” “Weeds” and “Sons of Anarchy.”

9 p.m. Monday. Fox.

    This is the first episode that was written after the strike. Really hoping for a good one. This season hasn't reached the levels of seasons 1, 2, or 5 yet, but it's been consistent at least.

    who thinks the traitor is going to be Janeane? There really aren't any suspects to choose from. Just the guy in charge, weasely guy having affair, blonde he was having affair with, and Janeane. Besides, I'm sure the conservative producers of the show would love to have the ultra-liberal Garofolo get shot by Jack.

    That's really the only down note so far, but it sounds like it's going to evolve into an actual plot point. I mean really, who cares if he has a girlfriend here? That they ended an hour with that being the big surprise was kind of weird.

    by zandunga

    ...is the most beautiful woman they've had on the show in a looong time. I mean, if theyre all going to be fairly interchangeable anyway, they may as well have a babe on board. Freckles is soo much better than Teri and horseface Audrey and the other blonde from Season 2, and the Mexican chick Claudia. Michelle Dessler was the last babe they had on, and that was a while back. So yay for Chesty Bauer!

    You just know

    by mecps

    that with those freckles the carper matches the drapes! Also, my pick for the FBI mole is Freckle's boss. Why does she assume that just because she's sleeping with him (only implied, but fairly obvious) he couldn't possibly be a traitor? Remember, Jack had a sexual history with Nina Meyers and that didn't stop her from being a double agent who killed his wife.

    Season 6 had absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. The only good thing about last season was the Rolento-inspired death KO, which (admittedly) is probably the best death ever in the 24-verse. Season 7 is, by contrast, pretty entertaining. Except for Dubaku's girlfriend.

    I actually was surprised by things this week - Jack and Rack kicking in the door on the sisters, the fbi roadblock, the old friends that suddenly showed up; the mole reveal (I, too, assumed it was the office slut and it was a cover). The little touches like rack having the blood on her face and looking at herself in the mirror, and President in the hospital hallway and in every shot, bill was in the background blurred out in the distance like it was framed that way....in every shot! got me all pumped up for a fun ride after an iffy start.

    Sure, it's got some of the same tried and true 24 trappings, but they've managed to make it compelling again. And I like that instead of taking Jack's balls, they've externalized his conscious in the form of Freckles Bauer. Last season I remember missing an episode and not even thinking about it until my friend was like, "did you watch 24?" later in the week. This season I watch every Monday if I can, otherwise I go on Hulu. I hope this season AT LEAST stays this good...but if it does get better, we're in for an awesome time.

    Great episode

    by cdubbs727

    What I like about this season is it's not trying to be the best. season. ever. It's simply aiming to be a solid season of "24" and it's succeeding. Even when it goes to it's go-to plot points there seems to be an energy there. I was actually thrown for a loop with the mole fakeout--everything led me to believe it was Janis and then turns out it was whatever his name is. Loved Aaron Pierce being back!

    Here's my theory: Bill is in on it. He fits the profile of the people who hired Tony. Aaron may be in on it too--perhaps he's also angry at the government for the way the Prez acted and is missing crazy First Lady. Having the President's daughter in play now would set them up for a big kidnapping.

    I could be wrong...but at least "24" is making me anticipate where it's going this season, instead of causing me to roll my eyes or predict it square on 12 episodes out.

    In the middle of tonight's episode of 24? At about the 18 minute mark, as Chloe's hubby's driving her to the FBI office in that nice, plush car, with that kickass sound system and nice leather. Is that a Mercedes? No, wait, he's heading to the trunk to get her stuff, why not pause for a split, but very noticeable, second on the Hyundai insignia to make sure everyone knows what kind of car it is? Then let's step over to the window to say by to the kid for a look at the spacious backseat, then one last look at the profile of the entire car as her husband says goodbye one last time. Man, I've heard of product placement before, but this one was sooo blatant. I'll say this, though, it worked, cos my wife wants one now! :)

    Either they just out and out say "the last two seasons of bullshit never happened" and the next season starts with the end of season 1, or cancel it and put it out of its misery. Such a shame too, there was so much potential there. If they hooked up at the end of season one and started working together to fight some new big threat it could've been incredible.

    Great Hour

    by hendrix4747

    Tony was still out reviving Emerson this episode. Come on, a guy who survived being shot in the neck shoots his best friend in the neck, then spends twenty minutes of an episode awkwardly sitting next to his body?

    Aaron and Bill are going to have the greatest stoicly deep-voiced conversations as the First Daughter and First Lady act, bitch, and whine next to them.

    I'm disappointed Janeane wasn't the mole, but it makes sense. She serves better as a long-term character than Walsh.

    I liked how the people, bar Teri, Larry mentioned were all characters Jack himself shot. Curtis. Ryan. Makes himself look like much of a larger psycho.

    Both Aaron and Bill are immune from death this year as their respective ladies would need to be around for it to be dramatically closed.

    Wasnt' as good as Hour 7 or 8, or Day 2: 4:00P.M. - 5:00P.M. which is one of the twenty best episodes of all-time. But still, pretty good. On Par with Season 5's Hour Nine, and this season's first nine is actually better than Season 5's, 6's, 3's first nine episodes, if you're judging that way. We haven't had a clunker like the Rossler sex slave or Jack and Chase spend the episode bitching about Kim at all. Or a bad episode, really.

    I liked Morris showing up, and just, shlanging his british vernacular charm. And poor Prescott is so damn cute, and so damn cute and so damn cute. Let's hope the cute kid stays out, unlike that annoying bitch Angela. I hope Morris comes back, he was great when he was introduced, but held back last year with fauxmelodrama.

    Henry Taylor is too good of a character to be out for too long.

    ----Predictions---

    Bauer will avenge Carl Benton in the next two hours.

    I don't see Marika living much longer either. Or maybe she'll reaffirm her love for Samuel and decide to join him, forcing Jack to kill her.

    March 2nd, 6PM-8PM is a 2-hour episode. I assume thats when Voight, Detective Norris, and Tony reappear. Seasons tend to define themselves and their rank in the seasons around the midpoint.


    Predicted Character Returns Timetable

    Logan - Ep 16/Midnight

    Daniels - Ep 17/ 1:00A.M.

    Kim - Ep 18/ 2:00A.M.

    Sherry Palmer - Ep 24 "Jack, you need to help me resuscitate David"

    Everything is going wrong for Jack

    by jack burton

    The collateral damage is much higher than usual this season, and the blame seems to be on Jack. They sort of succeed in rescuing the first gentleman, then he gets shot. He interrogates the bad secret service agent, then has to kill him in self defense. Now it looks like the girlfriend is going to be hurt or killed when the patented "put the civilian in danger and track them" standard 24 scenario went horribly wrong. His methods have corrupted Renee and she is not dealing at all well with the guilt. It's just a much more interesting subtext this time around.

    The reveal of the mole was great though. The cops pinning Jack and Renee was unexpected, and I liked that the red herring suspect really is the traitor. I was betting on the blonde.

    Also, Jack didn't kill the baddie in self defense, no matter how much everyone says he did: Consider that somebody assaults you with a firearm. You see an opportunity to turn the tables. You disarm him and counter-attack. The original attacker over-powers you and kills you. YOU will have been fighting in self defense. The original assailant will have murdered you. That's what happened. Jack was the assailant. The other guy defensed himself but lost. Jack murdered him.

    24 logic

    by dr. chim richalds

    So, the slimy dude whose own wife was aboard an airplane while Dubaku was knocking them out of the sky, a guy who in fact breached some super-secret FAA protocol to arrange for her plane to land safely ahead of dozens of others, is in fact working with Dubaku? Um, ok. I guess it isn't quite as ludicrous as Henderson nearly dying and winding up in the CTU ICU in order to sneak attack Tony and "purposefully" miss his main artery with a filled syringe, or whatever.

    by big jim

    but figured he did it as part of his cover. If anyone catches him, as Garofalo did, doing unauthorized stuff, he can explain it away as just wanting to make sure his wife was ok. Or it could be he didn't know the nuts & bolts of the plan - he knew Dubaku was going to do stuff, just not what exactly. And when he found out realized only then that his wife was in danger. Besides he couldn't really tell her not to fly on a certain day without making her suspicious or even looking guilty after the fact. "My husband told me specifically not to fly yesterday and then some planes crashed. How did he know that would happen?"

    How abot NOT putting quotes from eps as article titles

    by the page

    ...so that those of us NOT from the US who read the site don't have to unavoidably see lines from episodes yet to air in their country when browsing the front page.

    Yeah, it's hardly a big spoilerish quote, but fuck...have some thought man.

    um, dude. Have you seen this site?

    by oisin5199

    They use quotes (always out of context and spoiler free, I might add) as post titles all the time. Get over it.

    Good point, but the "come" innuendo was a little less transparent than the "bang" euphemism. I can't imagine those idiot groups that always complain to the FCC being happy about either.I don't suppose we can get Grayden to do some cavorting now that Pope is dead.

    And there are no cougar's in Washington - apart from the ones that hang around in bars... how are they going to shoehorn Quim Bauer into the storyline ?

    This past episode

    The season overall is still silly and nothing like season 1 or 5. It is better than hour 6. Still, I really liked the part where Jack overhears Walker on the phone describe how repulsed she sometimes by Jack's behavior. His reaction was excellent and shows some character.

    by arcadiands

    nobody ever pays attention to Wesley Snipes walking down the road.
    "dude, that brother looks like Wesley Snipes!"
    "I know man - just keep walking."

    Crap! So NudeandAroused...

    THAT is what happened in that scene. Right at that point, when Walker gets the phone call my freaking cable blacked out for about 15 seconds and I missed that entire phone call. I'm like WTF just happened. Shit. I'm going to have to go watch that scene on Fox.
