Was it just me or was this an episode without a whole lot of Jack Bauer? Also, this episode gave me my first "Holy S#*t" moment of this year. You know what I mean, if not, I'll talk about it in the comments so to avoid any spoilers here for people who haven't emptied their TiVOs yet. Rick (don't call me Ricky) Schroder is back on series telvision and the return of "Aaron" made me happy too. What did you think? Were you happy with a little less Jack or is Jack all you want to see? Let's talk about it in the comments shall we?Day 6: 6:00PM - 7:00PM
Original Airdate: Monday March 12, 2007
Two unlikely foes come face to face in a bid to defuse an escalating international situation; CTU newcomer Mike Doyle (Rick Schroder) joins the hunt for new leads.

ReplyDeleteA wounded Kiefer gets loose inside the locked-down Russian Consulate, but after Consul Markov orders the phones shut down, he's got no way to communicate Gredenko's location, except to take a couple of hostages and wait around for one of them to bring him a magic phone. Which will arrive too late, in any case. CTU and the Veep respond with a three-pronged strategy. Prong One: Buchanan has his new head of tactical ops (Ricky Schroder) get ready to launch a strike on the Russian Consulate in order to get Markov and Kiefer out. The problems with Prong One are that this is basically an act of war, and that Ricky Schroder's playing a raging *****. Prong Two: Logan offers to help again, this time by trying to win the Russian president over to his side through their respective wives. The problem with Prong Two is that the ex-FLOTUS wants nothing to do with Logan, no matter what her current boyfriend Aaron says. And it hits yet another hitch when Martha sticks a paring knife in Logan's shoulder (a prong within a prong, as it were). Prong Three: The Veep enlists Tom's assistance in blaming Assad for every bad thing that's happened today, giving him cover to threaten the Mideastian ambassador with a nuclear strike on his country if they don't help to find the terrorists. The problems with Prong Three are that it bothers Tom's conscience, and also the fact that it's *****ing insane. Prong Two ends up working first, but only sort of. Suvarov orders his Consul to surrender, but when Markov refuses, Suvarov gives CTU the green light to go in shooting. They do, killing Markov, rescuing Kiefer, and learning that Gredenko's in the Shadow Valley. And unlike the good guys, he hasn't been wasting the whole hour; Fayed has arrived with the bombs, and the nuclear drones are just about ready to launch. And then Logan flatlines in his ambulance.
Holy crap, when the former First Lady stabbed Logan, I almost fell out of my chair. But then I though...GOOD FOR HER! About time!
