24 - The Afternoon After

Episode 10: 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Bruce's Five-Point Review

1. Someone must be listening. I don't think Audrey said anything annoying in last night's episode. Note to the writers: KEEP HER AND JACK SEPARATED AT ALL TIMES.

2. Quote of the Hour

"What would you like us to do, Mr. Manning?"

~ Red Shirt Guy #2

Good call, Red Shirt Guy #2

3. Agent Pierce, is the man! He made up for Jack's pathetically low season-to-date bodycount by capping the terrorists from the front seat of the limo. Honors for Kill Recipe of the Year (so far, anyway) go to Secret Service agent Aaron Pierce for his mouthwatering Terrorist Flambe.

4. You gotta respect a guy who keeps a remote-controlled clipboard bomb on his desktop 24-7. You really can't be too careful these days. Though, Robocop guy, off all people, should have known that you can't kill Jack Bauer with something as indirect as a remotely-detonated clipboard bomb. Didn't any of these terrorists ever watch Batman? Those plans never work.

5. Ducking under the raised access flooring at the last second before the bomb went off? Good call, your Bauerness. Now, did they forget to screw every panel into their steel pedestals underneath, or did Jack just get lucky and find the one panel the contractor missed?

Oh, I forgot. Jack Bauer doesn't get lucky. Lucky gets Jack Bauer..
