Day 7, 1:00-2:00 AM

It's time to pull out the "perimeter" teams. (Drink!)

And to move on the southwest "perimeter." (Drink!)

The word of the day is "exfiltrate."

Hodges compliments his lackey on putting his lift on the line. He'll "never forget that." For as long as the lackey lives.

Time for the bad guys to do another "perimeter" check. (Drink!) Holy crap, it's gonna be one of those episodes.

Don't those grates Tony's trying to reach through lift up? Isn't that what a crack in a grate is for, to give you a place to lift them up?

Would that be the last missile to Clarksville?

Hodges says "don't think this ends with me." Of course not, there are still six hours to go.

He then threatens that he's just a cog in a bigger wheel. So, to recap... this season we started with Evil Tony, who was really trying to get close to The Bad, who was really just working for the Bigger Bad, who when he got into trouble at the White House, needed to phone-a-friend to the Even Bigger Bad, who is now threatening there's still a Really Effin' Huge Bad still out there.

Memory loss is one of the symptoms. As is memory loss.

Tony blew up the missile storage, but the doors still open and close just fine.

Kim dismisses her entire prior time on the show as "stupid and immature."

Meanwhile, some guy we've never seen shoots some other guy we've never seen, but is caught by a third guy we've never seen.

Alert the "perimeter" units! (Drink!)

Check the major roads along the "perimeter." (Oh brother... here we go.)

Somehow the operative got past the "perimeter." (ggggaaaaahhhhrrrsssss)

In the beginning, Tony was a hero, except that maybe he was a mole. But he wasn't a mole, he really was a hero. But then he was disgraced, but came back to be a hero. Then he was dead. But then he wasn't dead. Except now he was evil. But he wasn't really evil. (Though he was still definitely not dead.) Only now he actually is evil. Guiding Light fans, I think there's another show you can come watch now that yours is being cancelled.

I've thought since he gave Jack the code word at the beginning that Tony was a bad guy. I just thought it was too cheesy to bring back Tony just to make him a bad guy. I guess I shouldn't expect any less (or more) from Manny Coto or Brannon Braga.

isn't it too obvious that Tony is still a good guy? he clearly could have killed many people this episode, but instead knocks out one guard, drags another around while he plants the bombs and lets him go after he's done, and clearly sleeper-holds Moss. All of these people should have been simply shot. bam. done. look I'll go to my room and get my gun. we'll shoot them together. "you know what Scott, you just don't get it, do you?"

Tony knows that Hodges was not the top of the pyramid and is trying to go after the mega big boss of course! I wonder if Moss will figure this out when he wakes up. I'll be seriously surprised if Moss is actually dead.

mad props to the writing teams for the two lines of dialogue that explained how Kim was waiting to show up all day. and the memory loss thing is a bizarre way of torturing Jack, I wonder how much will be permanent?

The build up and scene with Kim was insanely overwrought. I wonder if they'll bring her back again.

Tony Almeida (which is pronounced "Al-may-eee-da" in Spanish, so WTF) exemplifies Martin Blank's "flexible morality." But it's starting to bug me.

Despite these two things, I'm really liking this season!

Chloe's global warming comericial was absolutley tourcherous to watch, and I mean that in a Jack with an electrical cord tourcherous kind of way. I couldn't figure out if she was acting, trying to be in character or bouncing back and forth.
