24: 9:00am-10:00am
Air Traffic Control is trying to figure out what happened with the plane on their screen. Tony tells the plane to switch to Runway 3-1 left, communicating as ATC. This means he can get the pilot of the plane to do whatever he wants.
Jack thinks that someone has infiltrated the FBI because there is no way they could have gotten a sniper on the roof that fast. Renee doesn’t believe that, and puts Jack in a time out.
Air Traffic Control’s screens go haywire as Tony tells SRI35 to land on the 4 Right runway, which puts them in a path with 317. Tony calls Air traffic control and tells them to pull up the surveillance tower. The planes are on a direct course for each other. Tony tells 317 to pull up at the last moment and says, “Now you know what we can do.” What does he want? “You’ll find out soon enough.”
A man named Emmerson meets with Tony and asks him how they found Schecter. Tony says they used Jack Bauer.
As a press secretary is giving a press conference about the President’s decision to intervene in Juma’s genocide, president is alerted to the situation at JFK. They tell her about Tony and what he has done.
Taylor meets with Matobo and asks him to punish Juma according to the law so that the cycle of violence isn’t perpetuated. He gives her his word.
Meanwhile, the sniper, Tanner, is stuck in the building, as FBI have surrounded it. He calls Tony and tells him that he is in the west staircase.
Jack, still in his time out, is given sympathy by the FBI driver, and says that it’s wrong what they’re doing to him despite all he’s done for his country. Jack uses this to ask for some air, and the driver allows him to get out of the vehicle. He doesn’t stay close.
Tanner, still stuck in the building gets a surprise visit from an FBI agent that Tony sent, who gives him an FBI jacket and allows him to escape. He exits the building, but Jack notices that he is not wearing black shoes like everyone else, and quickly identifies him as the shooter. Jack tells Renee that they should go on their own, and she is convinced. We get to see some of Jack’s crazy driving skills!
Tony and Emmerson bring the component to Dubaku, who was featured in Redemption. He is still mad that the U.S. government was responsible for the death of his brother.
The first gentleman, still on his quest to find out more about his son’s girlfriend worries his driver, who contacts Ethan (who is he?) so that he can tell the president.
Janice notifies Larry that Renee has left the scene, and he calls her to see what is going on. She lies to him and he can tell, so he has Janice triangulate the signal on Renee’s walkie.
On the car ride, Renee asks Jack how far he would have gone with Schecter, and he doesn’t answer. She stays on his back for his past, and he gets really annoyed about it.
The first gentleman, Henry, questions his son’s girlfriend about the $400,000 that she got, she says it is her aunts and she helped her hide it from the IRS. Henry isn’t buying it and gets surly with her.
Jack and Renee follow Tanner, who gets out of his car. He sees them, and sneaks through some crates where Renee pops out and Tanner draws his gun, but Jack already has his on him. Jack asks where Tony is and when he won’t answer proceeds to give a swift beating. Jack sees a security camera and uses a cloth as a silencer to shoot it. This alerts Tony to Jack’s presence. Jack goes further and uses Tanner as a human shield. Shots are fired and 2 of Tony’s men are killed. They enter the boat where Renee finds a computer that is deleting all the system files. Jack finds Tony and they duel. Jack pulls his gun and Tony t urns to look at him. Jack, seeing Tony’s face for the first time, hesitates, and Tony runs. Jack regains his composure and tackles Tony to the ground and they fight some more. Larry Moss comes in with a helicopter, having traced Renee’s walkie. Jack looks at Tony and asks “What happened to you?”
My Thoughts: The FBI agent who thinks that Jack is being treated unfairly—IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAID THAT! I don’t know how many times I’ve thought those exact sentiments.
Latham: Poor guy… he was so timid and shy, every time the camera was on him he looked like he wet himself.
President’s Son’s girlfriend: I noticed she had what looked like an engagement ring on her right hand…
Tony: It was kind of heart wrenching to see the way that Jack has been reacting to Tony’s return. Tony was the only friend Jack had for a long time, and now he’s become something that Jack has spent his life to fight against. Tony has become this like hardened criminal. He looks so dead inside. Especially when Jack had him pinned up against the wall, there was nothing there.
Who I want to Punch:
Did you see that?!: Plane near miss
Best Line: What happened to you?
Worst Line: You’ll find out soon enough
Kill Count: 3, Tanner and 2 guards bringing the total to 4
Curse Count: 1 B word from Prez, 1 H from Larry Moss, and 1 of Jack’s favorite damn it from Renee

24: 8:00am-9:00am
24: 8am-9am
We start out on a D.C. street where a young girl is innocently texting in the backseat of a car. Her dad tells her to stop, she’s only allowed to use the phone in emergencies! She hangs up and of course her dad gets a phone call and answers. It’s not long before they are rammed into from the side by a black van, then again from the back. A masked man with oh-so-familiar eyes abducts the man (whose name we learn is Mr. Latham) and throws him into the black van. He can fix something for them.
Meanwhile, Jack is sitting before the senate being tried on charges of torture by Senator Blaine Meyer. Jack has decided to forgo the use of counsel, which Meyer advises against, but Jack just wants to get on with it. Meyer asks Jack who Ibrahim Hadad is. Jack says he was a member of a sleeper terrorist cell in 2002. He then asks if he was retained and extremely interrogated? Jack says yes. Did you break procedure? Jack says probably. Meyer says it seems like Jack doesn’t even care about these charges. Jack keeps his cool and calmly explains that he does not regret anything he has done. The tension is broken as an FBI agent, Renee Walker, interrupts and says she needs Jack. She calls Janice, an FBI analyst and they exchange words about the Homeland Firewall Project, something that Michael Latham has been working on.
The group that Tony is in is messing with GSA117, a flight from Reagan to JFK airport. They gain access to their communication and navigation systems.
Back at the FBI, the head, Larry Moss, want to help Renee Walker question Jack because apparently he’s one of those guys that goes off if you ask him the wrong thing. Renee says she can handle it. She tells Jack about the situation and he doesn’t understand why he’s been brought in, until she tells him that one man responsible is someone he knows… Jack sits in front the computer screen and watches as a picture of Tony becomes clear. He is obviously shocked and doesn’t believe it. Renee tells Jack that the EMTs rushed Tony away and that they don’t know what happened. She even had his grave exhumed and the DNA was not his.
Tony gets into the GSA117 system, but the CIP module stops working. He goes back to Latham and tells him that if he doesn’t fix it soon, he’s not going to need him anymore.
President Allison Taylor is watching CNN footage of Juma’s genocide in Sangala, where the death toll is now over 200,000. Her convictions about interfering in Juma’s plans have not changed, and she has called a meeting of the joint chiefs.
Latham manages to fix the CIP.
Jack and Renee are still discussing the case, and arguing about Tony. Jack still doesn’t believe that Tony has turned, and Renee tells him that he lost everything and now he’s rebelling against the government that he served for so long. Jack still doesn’t buy it.
At the joint chief meeting, not all are supportive of this intervention. The Secretary of State Joe (WHO) doesn’t see eye to eye with the president, and is delaying on a report that she needs. Taylor gets a call from the FBI about the targeting of air traffic control, and she decides to quietly ground all planes. Then she goes to meet with former Prime Minister Matobo.
The first gentleman has hired a private investigator to look into the alleged suicide of his son Roger. He finds out that Roger’s girlfriend received $400,000 3 days after Roger’s death, so he goes to see what he can find out.
Jack has decided to take on the case. He knows how Tony thinks. He sees a link and tells Sean, another analyst, to look up Hateris from August of 1999. He finds Gabriel Schecter, a man who sold government technology under the radar. The address puts him at 1208 Naylor Road Suite 630. Larry Moss has reservations about letting Jack go with Renee, but she convinces him. On their way to the hotel, Jack explains that he and Tony arrested Schecter and turned him, and used him for years without CTU’s knowledge. They get to the room and Walker is adamant about Jack not laying hands on Schecter. They knock and he answers, and is obviously nervous about Jack being there, but since there are witnesses around and an FBI agent, he lets them come in. He taunts Jack, “How’s the senate thing going, CTU is disbanded? Let me guess, it’s your fault!” Jack asks him where Tony is. Schecter says that he’s dead. One of his body guards pulls a gun and there is a scuffle but Renee and Jack gain the upper hand and Schecter immediately surrenders. He still won’t tell them about Tony, and Jack asks what he should do? Renee says, “Do whatever it takes.” Jack grabs a pen from off of the table and grabs his head, which causes a squealing Schecter to talk. He says, “The last time I saw Tony…” and 3 shots are fired from a sniper on the roof. Schecter dies. The phone rings, and Jack answers it. It’s Tony. He says to stay away from this whole thing.
Air traffic control is having a little bit of trouble with GSA117. Tony is in their system.
My Thoughts: Janeane Garofalo as Janice Gold… I don’t know if I like her. She seems too fidgety.
Tony is what Jack could have become a million times, but he never did. It will be interesting to see how he got involved with these people, since I don’t think it could have happened without him being involved before his death. The explanation of him being mad about losing Michelle and spending time in jail makes sense, but he couldn’t have decided in the 5 minutes of his “death” that he was pissed and wanted to turn bad. Something is going on here.
Allison Taylor has a great stare. It’s one of those that can bore into your mind and make you spill anything she wants to know. You can’t hide anything!
Who I want to Punch: Senator Blaine Meyer
Did you see that?:
Best Line: Do not sit there with that smug look on your face and expect me to regret the things I’ve done, because frankly, I DON’T
Worst Line: Anything out of the Senator’s mouth
Kill Count: 1, Schecter, 200,000, Sangala
Curse Count: 1 ass from Schecter

Jack is Back, and SO AM I!
Guess what, people?
It's that time again.
That's right. We are about to undertake (after diligently waiting for 1.5 years) another season of the awesomeness that is JACK BAUER.
And, with that, the return of Bauer Power Hour! I know you're all so excited.
Last season my podcast fizzled out anticlimactically. This is due mostly to the fact that I was working off of dial-up connection and it would often take 10 hours for me to upload the thing, and sometimes it wouldn't upload the whole thing. Of course this made me want to drop kick my computer into the nearest wall, but I refrained...
NOT THIS YEAR. I have overcome that obstacle, and have now added wireless/high speed internet to my arsenal.
In an effort to spice things up a bit, since I now have better resources and better technology, I am going to incorporate some new stuff. I will try to have some interesting interviews with different people, one including my roommate, who has never seen the show. I think it will be interesting to see how she reacts to it now... unless she hates it of course, then we'll just kick her off. :)
NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF.
I am so excited for this season! If it's anything like 24: Redemption was, we are in for a treat. It's getting good reviews all around, and of course we can't wait to see the return of TONY ALMEIDA. I can't wait to talk about all of this!
SO, Look out for a special 2-hour edition of Bauer Power Hour tomorrow and Wednesday, and DON'T FORGET TO WATCH TONIGHT!
Happy Viewing to all!
