24 Debrief: Day 7, 4:00am – 5:00am

A big congrats to Philboy who is graduating this week!!!

So, I’m graduating college this week and moving out of my temporary home for four years. Therefore, this week’s review is going to be short, unfortunately. But, a couple of comments on this week and the big question for you all.

I thought this was a fantastic episode in so many ways. I didn’t expect Tony to get caught right away and expected him to elude Jack and Renee until the last few minutes, maybe the last hour. I knew from the previews from last week that we would see Kim again and I knew that she would be in trouble because other than the season where she was a computer technician for no apparent reason, Kim’s sole purpose has been to be a pain in the ass and the princess trapped in the tower that Jack must save.

We found out this week in TV Guide that Annie Wersching and Cherry Jones will be returning next season as Renee and President Taylor respectively, so I predict that Renee will not only be helping Jack save Kim, but killing Tony in the process. Even if it is trite and has been done, I can’t help but be intrigued as to how Jack will save Kim.

Kudos to the team behind “24” for not making Aaron a bad guy. Instead, we get a double bonus of getting Ethan back in the White House to help take Olivia down. While I’m sort of sympathetic towards her, I’m ready for the beatdown that it looks like President Taylor is going to unleash next week after (I’m hoping) Aaron and Ethan look at the recordings.

Only one person died this week, so we’ll have a final kill count next week after the TWO HOUR FINALE (make sure you all turn it on at 8 p.m., people.)

Alrighty, I’m taking bets…How is this all going to end?

Philboy is GMMR’s resident Dexter and 24 analyst. He spends his days studying Communications at Purdue University and his nights failing at keeping up with all of the TV shows he loves. His can’t miss shows are “24”, “Chuck” and “How I Met Your Mother.” The thoughts running through his head for this week are, “You’re a graduate.” And “Chloe vs. Janis is the best fight since Jack vs. Anyone”
