If this is Tuesday...

Then this post must be about 24.

As predicted, this is the annual "wait a minute...are you sure this show isn't called '6'" episode in which it appears, 50 minutes in, that resolution of the entire season's plot is at hand.

Compared to other seasons, though, it's a fairly weak twist that keeps the season going. (Virus taken by parties unknown; the trial was a ruse to enable the Override, and you top that with empty canisters and a flat threat?)

Cummings' version of the plot was certainly amusing, though. (I'm still waiting for my trans-Kosovo pipeline. We fought that war, and the moonbats promised us an oil pipeline. Where is it?)

Other notes: Audrey is as clearly marked for death now as anyone has ever been on any show.

Motif-Watch: two candidates in this episode: 1: The Media and Censorship, which may well be it, as one can reach backward into the prior episodes and spot this a few places, and 2: everyone's favorite classic motif, good old Injury-To-The-Eye.

Beep...Beep...Beep...
