Well, it was bound to happen...this first dopey episode of 24 this season...and dopey it was. Any casual fan of the show could've told you exactly what was going to happen. "Gee, you think that girl is gonna kill the one man Jack needs to find the terrorists? Ya think?!?" And then they bring in Sean Astin's sister, who's f*cked up, obviously. My friend Tony said it best. No family member ever shows up to CTU and says " Hey, I was in the neighborhood and I'd thought I'd bring by these cookies that I baked...Oh. You're in the middle of a crisis..terrorists are threatening all of L.A...ok...I'll just get out of your hair then..." Nope, it's always a family member that is a drug addict or drops off a baby and jets or shoots an important suspect or has a fit and kills themselves. At least Edgar's mother had the common courtesy to stick her head in an oven at home. (Only because she was stuck in the house...lol..) That did surprise me, though, when his sisters boyfriend jumped him and broke him up...I got a kick out of that. But other than that it was just a dumb episode. 24, at it's worst, is one plot device after another and this episode was definitely that. Plus Walt Cummings hanging himself was really dumb. (if he really hung himself...hmmmmm...). Um, this guy is basically a traitor to his own country or at the very least broke God knows how many laws. Shouldn't he still be cuffed? Or have someone watching him? Nah..that's crazy talk...lol..
EPISODE 1 P.M. TO 2 P.M. (Episode 7)
