Daniels and Palmer have a brief handshaking contest.
Time for another riveting 25th Amendment constitutional legal drama, just like in the one dull episode from season two.
Lennox explains how Palmer was in a temporary coma. Very temporary.
Milo and Nadia's discussion of "the other thing" is starting to sound a little like Jerry and Elaine working out their friends-with-benefits contract on Seinfeld.
The cabinet vote is in, and Palmer kinda-sorta wins in a similar way to how Rocky Balboa kinda-sorta didn't lose the first time he fought Apollo Creed.
They think they're going to be able to wake up all those old people on the Supreme Court at 12:30 in the morning (East Coast, remember) and get them in to rule on this challenge?
Not one of the dozens of people at CTU notices Nadia -- who was in a holding cell not long ago -- using Milo's computer.
Doyle's trying to show the unbastardly side of people from Denver.
Nadia tells Milo she was reviewing Doyle's data sets. That S-E-T-S, people!
Fayed wants to meet at the Santa Monica Pier. He wants to ride the ferris wheel or something.
The Supreme Court wants case notes in writing in 10 minutes? Is it okay if they're scrawled on a cocktail napkin?
We have a brief moment of "oh right, Sandra's a lawyer."
Daniels has had his finger practically on the button for hours, but he actually spends a few seconds believing that perjury is going too far.
Lennox grows a pair! And there was much rejoicing!
Notice how when it's a terrorist receiving text messages or pictures or what-not, there's no Sprint product placement.
We now interrupt this week's 24 commentary for a "Gredenko's severed arm" Joke-a-thon:
- Gredenko really had to lend Fayed a hand.
- Will Gredenko and Chase Edmunds from season three bump into each other at the same prosthetic limbs shop?
- Gredenko really knows how to focus on the axe at hand.
- Man, that terrorist severance package really sucks.
- Next step in Gredenko's plan? Killing Richard Kimble's wife.
- I don't think that's what they meant by "arming the nukes."
10 minutes after Doyle was "20 minutes out," he's still 20 minutes out. But at least when he gets there, he's going to "set up a perimeter." (Drink!)
Gredenko pulls a fantastic double-cross on Fayed, and CTU ends up trading one terrorist for another. Well, maybe 7/8ths of a terrorist for one terrorist.
Gredenko's about to fall over, so what better place to drop dead than under the pier? (Or maybe he's hiding from Darth Vader?)
Karen and Lennox agree to drop the threats and intimidation. "So, Tom, why did the Vice President back down?" Oh.... threats and intimidation.
Apparently, that doctor shot Palmer full of the same crazy juice Daniels has been taking.

First thing I thought of when they tagged Gredenko; should've put that isotope in his skull or his chest. Too bad he lost his arm BEFORE he walked into the bar, would've made a good Star Wars joke.
I would've liked it better if they didn't spoil Gredenko's demise. they pretty much Boba Fett'd him (sure there's a tiny chance he survived, but they only showed that scene to tell the audience he's dead)
and why did he run away? if he collapsed in the bar he woulda got some medical help for sure. he did fulfil his part of the deal after all.
what's the deal with crazy Wayne? all that adrenaline they pumped him with, he wants to see thing blow up now, too! how are they going to "end" this season? looks like they will start WW3 "within the hour" next week.
"arming the nukes" hilarious! :D
the mole
I'm beginning to doubt that Doyle is really from Denver.
:)
Seriously, what a load of crap. I'm always this close to not watching it, week after week. I guess I keep watching it because it's the only show I'm currently watching (Prison Break was the other one) AND I'm sort of curious as to how the whole thing will resolve itself. But the recipe is really getting old and the clichés are terribly worn out. I'm not sure I'll withstand season 7.
I'm laughing more often than I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, these days. Especially at the speedy recovery everyone seems to be making. Wayne who goes into a coma and then out again in about two hours -- plus he's completely up and about! And what about Milo's arm? I think that arm spent less than an hour in the sling. Then everything's fine. Talk about recovering like a motherfucker!
I'm half-expecting to see Gredenko walk into a McDonald's next week and ask for "anything that won't cost me an arm."
