An e-mail: Priceless moments from last night: -the look on Logan’s face when he sees Jack in the helicopter; -the look on Jack’s face when he’s staring Logan down in the warehouse; -Jack giving instructions to Rooney (the sub guy):” I want you to take your left hand, cover the Russian’s mouth and pull his head toward your chest. With your right hand slit his throat. Cut deep, making sure you get his vocal cords and carotid artery. Then release his dead body and with your left hand pick up the nearest bucket and quietly spew chunks.” From the famous 24 time machine: -Morris O’Brien showing up instantly at CTU. Must have an apartment next to the Situation Room -the Logans’ quickie -Jack under sail on a slow boat to China within two minutes of being chloroformed, beaten and taken from the warehouse to a dock. The most understandable statement of Day 5:Jack saying at the end of the day “Just kill me.” A season recap here. The show’s not back on until January (nice job if you can get it). I figure that gives Jack Baer enough time to fix our immigration problem, with a little Iran and North Korea work on the side. On the other hand, notice how a day on 24 actually makes the speed at which the real U.S. Senate works look fast?
