In the never-ending saga of Things Going Horribly Wrong With My House, I came home yesterday to find that the screen door previously attached to the front of my dwelling has mysteriously gone missing. Now, there has been caution tape set up around the perimeter of the front porch for about a week now, though I have been hard-pressed to find out any reason why this should be. Or who put it there. I simply thought that a grisly murder had been committed right outside my room, but now it looks like the answer is slightly more complicated. Also, there was a gas leak scare last night. Furthermore, this morning I awoke to find that the ceiling in my bathroom is leaking a mysterious orange substance. In conclusion, I think it's safe to say that my problems far outweigh any of the situations developing on 24.
So Milo was shot in the head last week. We begin this episode (after a paltry two minute and fifteen second recap) with Morris covering the body, which for some reason sends me into hysterics. I don't know why it strikes me as funny, it just does. My viewing companions give me horrified looks. I shrug and wipe away a laughter tear or two. Moving on. Asian Mike tells his men to take Josh back into the tunnel. Marilyn pitches a fit and Jack tries to calm her down until someone kicks him in the ribs. Jack's ribs have really taken a beating today. By my count he's broken a total of 35.
He died as he lived...staring at Nadia's crotch.
Marilyn keeps screaming and Jack tells Asian Mike that he can calm her down, if they'll let him. Still got a stash hidden away from Season 3, Jack? That's my boy. Asian Mike, sick of listening to Marilyn's sobbing, allows Jack to go hug her and she apparently shuts up. Hey, thanks Asian Mike! He informs the rest of the crowd that his team will be moving them into a secure room, and then they will leave. "Do what I tell you to do, and no one will be hurt," says Asian Mike. "Milo was kinda ugly, so we made an exception for him. You understand," he forgets to mention.
Team Cheng leads Josh through the sewer system. Droplets of water are incorporated into the soundtrack. It's mildly interesting. Though it reminds me of how there is not a giant river of evil goo flowing beneath them, which saddens me. (I just watched Ghostbusters II again.)(Hence my even more profound love for Peter MacNicol.)
Asian Mike has started to move the CTUers by dividing them up into two groups. Jack, who has already hatched a cockamamie plan to get themselves out of this pickle, tells Marilyn that she needs to be at the front of her group if she wants to get Josh back. He sends her away, then falls back to talk to Nadia. He tells her that they'll never get the circuit board back if they're locked in holding, so they're going to have to do something risky, though there's a good chance they won't survive. He says all this with his lips tightly clenched together, presumably so that no one will notice they're talking. But I prefer to think he's rehearsing a ventriloquist act.
Chloe also tries to get in on this, but Jack shoos her away. Then he and Nadia punch a couple of Team Cheng guys in the face. Chaos ensues. A couple more guys with guns show up and Jack yet again uses an only partially dead man as a shield, thus ensuring the poor guy's demise. Morris grabs some random dude and starts choking him. Hehe. A+ for effort, Morris. Team Cheng appears to be losing, despite the fact that THEY HAVE GUNS. Man, they suck. They deserve to die. Jack almost chokes another guy to death, sans the use of a chain, but then decides at the last minute to snap his neck instead. Points for style, Jack! At last it seems as if CTU has, well, won. However, Mike "Where's My Blanky" Doyle and his crew show up to officially put a stop to the whole thing.
"Isn't this FUN?"

This show is sucking so badly that I'm first to comment after several days. Wow. They NEED to appear on the Simpsons or else there won't BE another "day".
The episodes began to suck when the time factor started to be completely disregarded. It made the urgency disappear. Come on, they do things in one hour that would take days to do and expect us to live with it. Just think back on all that's gone on this season. Say good-bye, Mr. Bauer, NOW!
