TWICE THE FUN, TWICE THE DAMMITS!

24 POWER HOUR REVIEW!
Holly says that the best scene was when Curtis Manning took out the canister of nerve gas and narrowly saved an entire hospital filled with premie babies. I’ll have to agree that it was a tense and cool sequence but I prefer the yelling match between Jack and his mentor Henderson that ended with a bullet in Henderson’s wife leg. That was cool. However…the greatest scene of the night was at the end of the two hours was when everyone was rushing around CTU looking for a safe place for yet another canister of nerve gas and in the chaos a member of the team we’ve never seen before bangs on the door demanding that she be let in and the poor sobs can’t do anything but watch her die because if they break the seals on the door it’ll lead to their demise as well. Slowly as she passes- we see poor Edgar Stiles waddle in all confused like and PLOP! There goes another main character!
Too bad- he was annoying at times but never much so, he was pretty likable. We’ll miss you and apparently so will Chloe- the close up on her face at the end…I wonder who will kill Henderson now? Chloe because she will blame him for Edgar’s death or the ever-lovin’ Soul Patch known as Tony Almeida? The one who is stuck in the same medical area as Henderson and who will undoubtedly blame him for Michelle’s death and who is also a trained torturer? PS: Tony was not trained by Henderson.
Kim Bauer was back tonight? I hardly noticed. And is that Evil Spock with her? Nah, it’s the guy from that 80’s movie Soul Man- you know- the one where a white guy gets into college by taking tanning pills and pretending to be black? That movie sucked. Anyway, my guess he is a were-cougar. Just wait till the moon comes out.
I hope that Secret Service guy Agent Pierce and the First Lady don’t form a romantic relationship. That would be eggy as Holly is prone to saying nowadays- and I wholeheartedly agree. I would like the series to end however with President Pierce presiding over funeral services for Jack as he is buried in Arlington for the many times he saved the day in 24 hours or less.
Tons of shit happened in last night’s episodes. Is the Fat Hobbit still alive? I didn’t see him rush into one of the sealed rooms. How heavy was his sister? Dude, her legs were smaller than my puny weakling arms! Why didn’t the President get slapped? Is the Vice President evil? Martial Law in L.A.? Rodney King anyone? And more burning questions!?
That was a badass episode. We’re at the halfway point!
SIX STARS!
(The extra star is for poor Edgar’s look in his face as he realizes he about to be written off…)
PS: The X-Men III Trailer is an awesome trailer. The original X-Men team from the comics of Cyclops, Marvel Girl, The Beast, Iceman and Angel are finally in the same movie…I hope the five of them share a scene together and just them. Elements of Joss Whedon’s first X-Men story and the Dark Phoenix…hope it gels together. Not a lot of people have faith in Brett Ratner directing this but I hope he surprises everyone. SNIKT!
