Day 7, 12:00-1:00 PM

The tac team is upset that they can't go in guns blazing and shoot up Tony Almeida. Aw.

Oh, no! Agent Walker turned off her cell phone. Now the FBI will never be able to find her. Not even by using the GPS one assumes her car must be equipped with.

Emerson was all set to shoot that guy to coerce the Prime Minister. Then he finds out the FBI is coming and decides it's not so important anymore.

After six full seasons of 24, now we have "traffic" hindering the ability of agents to get around town?

Jack Bauer is the Mr. Wizard of toxic gas.

They've got all kinds of stuff to stand on in that safe room. Why don't they at least try to block the vent when the gas starts pouring in?

You'd think the bad guys would pick something slightly less conspicuous than that giant yellow van. Is the Evil Scheme on such a tight budget they couldn't spring for a coat of paint?

The First Gentleman has just been enjoying a lovely view of the Jefferson Memorial for half an hour.

"Perimeter!" (drink)

"I can't stop thinking about last night." So... season 6-and-a-half?

It's an "all van" split screen.

The Prime Minister will arrive at Evil Inc "within an hour." (drink)

I guess Chloe went back to watching C-Span, cause she and Bill are nowhere to be found this week.

Henry Taylor and his bodyguard arrive at some strange apartment. And cue everyone's complete lack of surprise at the revelation the bodyguard is a bad guy in three... two... one...

Hey, the people at the FBI are putting their coffee into the same cups as the bodyguard just used to slip drugs to the First Gentleman. Does that mean they were in on it?

NSA just intercepted the second phone call to reference Agent Walker since she was captured. Why they fell asleep on the job about the first call (about 20 minutes earlier) is strictly between them and the demands of plot.

Jack's now going to do to Walker what he did to Nina. Mid-first season with the fake killing, that is. Not the real killing like in the third season.

And now, in honor of the late Ricardo Montalban... Jack shall leave her "buried alive!!! Buried alive!!!! Buried alive!!!!"

It really is the same show every year, just with different names and settings.

Thus far, this season seems to be more talking and looking stern than action and thigh shooting....

Again, I recommend visiting Dave Berry's site each week and go into the comments looking for an entry by "Steve (The 24 Guy)". His mocking recaps of the show are priceless and many readers look forward to them almost more than the episode itself.

And well, Dave's comments are fun too. ;-)

it's been a while since we've had a civillian (what's-her-name president's son's hot girlfriend) in trouble with a fake government "helper." brings back good memories of Kim and season 1. does she really stand a chance? somehow I'm more interested in this little part of the plot...

this Emerson guy is pretty sloppy to not go with Jack to watch him "kill" Walker. I guess they didn't want to waste (pun intended?) her character development, and the blood spray thing might have been believable-convincing. but there was some really really good drama they could've had there...

and why is a-hole lawyer guy still hanging around FBI HQ during this crisis??? "we're not done here" he says? outrageous! get that guy the FRAK out of there!
