Television Without Pity Recap
ReplyDeleteKiefer learns that the Veep is planning a nuclear retaliation against Mideastia for his crappy drone landing. This is too aggressive even for Kiefer, so he resolves to find Gredenko and Fayed in the next hour before that can happen. Luckily, CTU is able to trace a phone call from Gredenko to a guy who's been using his Rain Man brother to get through nuclear facility firewalls. So then Kiefer uses Rain Man to set a trap for Gredenko. He fells really bad about it, though. At the White House Bunker, Karen convinces Sandra Palmer to screw the risks and let the doctor wake Wayne up so that they can get the Veep back on his leash. As for the question of whether Nadia was set up, a tech from Division -- who has some shady history with Doyle -- finds proof on the drone pilot's computer that she's innocent. He acts all sketchy about it, secretly handing it over to Doyle, who secretly hands it over to Morris. It's complicated, but when it's all over, Doyle knows who his real enemy is, and it isn't Milo. Milo's too busy putting the moves on Nadia anyway. When Gredenko finds himself in Kiefer's clutches, he offers a deal: Fayed in exchange for amnesty and a promise not to be returned to Russia. While Kiefer's pondering that, Wayne manages to wake up without dying, and calls off the Veep's nuclear strike from his hospital bed. But the Veep's not ready to give up, and resolves to have Wayne removed from power. Maybe he'll catch a break and somebody else will come along to blow Wayne up again.
WOW. I didn't even need to watch this episode after reading that. I did however watch the episode and i have to say each week i look less forward to it. I'm out on monday nights so i come back to a Tivo full of tv and 24 doesn't get watched till later in the week. I really love this show but something about shooting Curtis at the beginning of the season "jumped the shark for me". I know it's usually a big stunt that leads to "jumping" but that could be it. I hope it gets better.
