Funny, with Philip declaring that his son was too good for the business, and Jack feeling like he was never good enough for his dad, something tells me a whole lot of global destruction could have been fixed with an afternoon of open communication, Chamomile tea, and perhaps a game of Scrabble. It would probably go something like this: "Wait, you thought I was too good for you? I thought you were too good for me!" "No, no, no! I thought it was the other way around!" "Oh, this is hilarious. Let's let bygones be bygones and go to the Olive Garden!"
Anyway, when Jack realized the room was just a tad too silent, he turned around and saw he was alone. Philip was gone! But where to??? Jack ran out of the room and onto the roof where he found a cell phone mysteriously perched on the railing. On it was a number. What else to do but call it, right?
Jack punched in the numbers, and a man in a salt-and-pepper beard answered. Of course, the face may have changed, but the voice was still the same. It was none other than... PRESIDENT PUSSY! Charles Logan was back! And he was expecting Jack's call! Awesome! But wait, HUH??? I'm confused! But in a good way!!!
"I was informed that Pan's Labyrinth would win Best Foreign Film. What went wrong, Jack?"
So what do you think this all means? What did you think about the episode?

o.k., b-side, i'm with you. if powers booth can't save the season, surely gregory itzin can (maybe they'll do it together!). bringing back pres. pussy and giving him al gore's beard and flannel shirt was a genius stroke on multiple levels, and couldn't have come at a better time--both to save the show and to poke fun at pretentious hollywood liberal do-gooders. here's an inconvenient truth for you: joel surnow is one hollywood big shot who will not be writing a check to obama or hillary any time soon, and, given the popularity of giant black SUV's amongst both terrorists and CTU tac-teams on '24,' i'm guessing he doesn't drive a prius, either.
couldn't decide which was the best line of the night: jack's 'how could i be so stupid?' or his dad describing a career as a civil servant as if it were a starring role in gay midget porn.
biggest catharsis of the night: chad lowe venting the indignity of being utterly eclipsed, humiliated, and then dumped by hillary swank by kicking the crap out of that poor schlub from ally mcbeal.
biggest irony of the night: compared to wayne palmer, president pussy seems a lot less pussy-ish.
now we just need jean smart and her jubblies (from the morning after reaction to helen mirren at the oscars last night, it's good to be a G-MILF these days) to team up again with jack and the indestructible secret service agent to save the world yet again! for the moment, my faith is restored.

WOW, President Pussy is back! Now, I'm utterly confused! Can't wait to see what transpires on tonight's episode.
Milo and Morris certainly do annoy, but I think they'll be with us for a while. Hey, Milo made it out of the infirmary, so that's gotta count for something.
If I was Jack's kid, er, nephew, I would have hauled ass out of that hotel room as soon as Gramps said he was gonna KILL me- DUH! Nice family!
Looking forward to the next recap!

I've been looking forward to this recap all week! When I saw President Pussy, the first thing I said to my husband was, "What will B-Side have to say about this??"
It's funny but until I read the article in the New Yorker, it never occurred to me that this show comes from a conservative perspective. I guess I always assumed that President Pussy and the people he associated with were Republicans, hence their obsession with maintaining control over the oil resources and their willingness to deal with criminals in order to further their goals. The political connotations behind the notions that the United States is constantly threatened by terrorists and that we should cheer the people who do anything to stop them just went right over my head.
Guess it's because I live in one of the few conservative areas of California - I've learned to put my head in the sand in order to keep my sanity!

And, forgot to say that I always believed the sainted David Palmer was a Democrat (because there are no black Republicans, obviously.)

Whew, I was afraid you had given up on 24 but I should have known better. Great recap.While Surnow is a conservative, I do not think the show is meant to be too politically biased. There are storylines that both liberals and conservatives can identify with. Plus, I read both Rush Limbaugh and Barbra Streisand are big fans of the show, so I think it's what you make of it. Can't wait to see PP back in action tonight.

I love Martha! I don't think she would have stayed with PP, her heart belonged to Aaron, the Secret Service guy!

Regarding all the political stuff... well, if you really want to say anything, let's not forget that the bombings are not really Middle Eastern Terrorists, but the real people behind it are Russians. Sorry, but given the political atmosphere today, I would call that a cop-out because we wouldn't want to offend any terrorists!
