6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

"I'm just Chloe O'Brian." If only it were that simple.

(When did Rick Schroder become RickY Schroder again?)

"Sorry, I'm feeling ambivalent." Anything else that may be wrong with this episode, the writers are forgiven for coming up with such a genius line.

The years since NYPD Blue have not been kind to Mr. Schroder. He's developing Olmos Jowls.

Milo, you haven't been around for the last two hours, so stop with the dumb questions.

Doyle, like most people from Denver, is a complete jerk.

Jack takes out his captor with Belt Jitsu!

And then there's the sound of a coolant link in the engine core!

As more Russians search the room, we see Jack peek out from his cunning hiding place in the... well, I'm not sure exactly what's going on there.

The Russians are setting up a perimeter! Everybody drink! Vodka!

If only Denethor had thought to shut down the phone lines and DSL when Minas Tirith was under siege.

Jack's phone call is disconnected. "Dammit!" Drink!

Here comes Martha Logan. She's apparently been institutionalized at some point in the last two years. She was looking fairly together (for her) at the end of day five. What kind of hell must she have gone through since then?

To prove how manly he is, Doyle roughs up... Morris?

Morris then passes up a perfectly fair opportunity to point out that what just happened to him was nothing compared to a frakking drill to the shoulder!

Lennox has had no qualms about being a bastard, until now, when it's going to become a "matter of record."

Vice President Daniels has recently watched the movie Network, because America is as "mad as hell."

Fayed finally arrives at this damn air strip Gredenko's been hanging out at for the past several weeks. And even Gredenko acknowledges, "it's about time he got here."

Bill Buchanan is quite silver-tongued. When declaring war on foreign countries, "the politics are sticky."

Aaron Pierce! Like... half of him! Apparently, being out of the Secret Service and living with a complete loon agrees with him.

Mel has secretly been lacing Martha's produce with stuff to make her crazy for years.

Charles Logan is making his phone call from a black box theater. After he's through, there will be a performance by the Mummenschanz.

Logan says he wouldn't be playing games on a day like today. Isn't a day like today exactly the sort of day on which he last played these kinds of games?

Meanwhile, Jack has spent the last half hour playing Splinter Cell.

At Martha's funny farm, the helipad is right next to the tennis courts.

Dear God, Martha and Aaron have a lot of wine glasses. And way more than they should have, I think.

Daniels meets with the foreign ambassador, and shows he's a really special kind of crazy that only gets on an election ticket by offering a dozen or so electoral votes in a key swing state.

Karen Hayes' worst travel day ever is apparently still ongoing. How long does it take to get back to the White House from the airport?

This must be one hell of a speech Anya Suvarov is giving in Omsk, because it's about 5:45 in the morning there.

If Martha loves Mel so much, why is she treating his produce like that?

Charles Logan gets Monica Selesed by his own ex-wife!

Martha thinks she should be given a medal for stabbing Charles. Because she didn't win an Emmy for all the crap she went through last season.

The Russians still haven't got any guards posted along the back wall. You know, the wall that's apparently only about three feet higher than the ground on the outside?

At last, a drone is ready to launch! Prepare it for emergency saucer separation!

Why are they taking Logan to the hospital in an ambulance when there was a perfectly good helicopter sitting right there?

I was irked by the obvious time-crunch at the end when Martha was talking on the phone and then all of a sudden Russian Pres. was authorizing the attack. there was NOT enough time during the commercial break for all of those phone conversations. and you'd think he'd try to talk to a security dude to say something like "put traitor jerk in custody!" rather than say "okay Mr Vice President go ahead and kill a bunch of Russian citizens"

the whole rushed-action ending really downed an otherwise excellent episode. Crazy Martha! give that chick a medal!
