Day 7, 2:00-3:00 AM

Jonas' lawyer can get there "within a half hour." So, do we all take half a drink?

They've set up a four block "perimeter." (Drink!)

The FBI has the "perimeter" locked down. (Oh crap, it's gonna be one of those episodes.)

Kim didn't want to cause Jack more pain. Speaking of causing more pain, phone call for Agent Walker...

They have to maintain the "perimeter." (That's three.)

Now they're deploying a hazmat team to "perimeter" line. (Four!)

Jack is stuck in a room dictating episode recaps.

Galvez is trapped in the "perimeter." (Five!)

Is Larry in command of the "perimeter?" (Six!)

They're gonna have the "perimeter" locked down. (Seven! And this is just act one. Anyone playing the 24 drinking game is gonna need a fresh bottle.)

Jack's tired of being a subplot. He's getting on that helicopter.

Notice how the president is never in act one of the show these days? A pretty good indication that all the most important stuff in the plot isn't happening at the White House.

"Subpoena-moving goon squad" would make a terrible band name.

Are any bio-weapons made for personal use?

The evil doppleganger wants Jonas to leave the Matrix.

Galvez is in an apartment building shy of the north "perimeter" line. (Eight!)

Jack says he's worked pretty much alone for 10 years. I guess he didn't think very highly of Chase.

It seems things with C. Thomas Howell didn't work out for Kim.

Jack's the most badass grandpa anywhere.

Jack quotes Hill Street Blues to Agent Walker.

Not a single one of these highly trained FBI agents notices the bright red LEDs flashing in a pitch black abandoned building?

All "perimeter" teams move in! (Nine!)

Don't leave a hole in that "perimeter!" (Ten! Man, this has got to be a record.)

Jack is determined to have the first perimeter in the history of 24 that actually contains a suspect.

Galvez causes a bloodbath, then takes a bloodbath.

The "perimeter" is secure! (Eleven!)

Why is it taking Kim so long to get to the airport at three in the morning? I guess it's that patented Kim Bauer bad luck, finding the worst cab driver in all of DC.

My guess?

Tony and friends will be able to release that stupid gaz, a ton of people will get sick, and then doctors will just HAVE to get working on Jack (in spite of his refusal) because his case is more advanced and that'll allow them to isolate the [insert Braga technobabble here] and yadda yadda yadda, and that'll give them the "cure" they'll need for everybody else.

everyone went "awww! Teri! named for her mom!" now that Kim has a daughter, I think she is a lot less safe than she was before. of course she's changed her mind, it's the only reason to have shown that phone call.

WTF with Tony really being a bad guy? I was shocked to find out he actually killed Moss. if he's really a bad guy why was he being such a good guy earlier? does this mean Chloe and Bill were bad guys too? argh. sure it's fun for the episodes and dramatic moments, but I gotta believe he wouldn't have blown up all but one canister?! (or various other heroic things he's done?) and WTF with his self-inflicted gun shot and the hollywood-like way he's not affected at all by it?

Tony is in fact a quadruple agent (but he's really a quintuple agent).

I didn't think Larry Moss died because they didnt' do the silent clock after he died. I guess they were either messing with people who knew about the clock, he's not really dead somehow, or he's not important enough to get the silent clock treatment

I guess they can't give the silent-clock to everybody? it had me "fooled" (?)

Almost forgot to mention this and I'm not trying to endorse any products or anything, but this is kind-of 24 related... check out the name that was snuck onto the pink luggage strap:

Nah, they only use the Silent Death Clock for characters we care about.

(Has anyone found Larry to be anything other than irritating?)

Only four people have got the silent clock (Terri, Chappelle, Edgar, and Bill) when they died. The other five silent clocks were just dramatic moments. David Palmer didn't even get the silent clock when he died. Neither did Tony or Michelle but I guess Tony isn't dead. Maybe he's a Borg from the future or something.

There have already been two silent clocks this season which means I doubt we get another one.

A strap for luggage that starts off thinking it's firmly in the right place, but gets lost as a horrible day wears on.

For airline travel, then.
