Spoiler warnings for all you people who missed last night's episode of "24" (and if you watch the show and did miss it shame on you. Honestly, watching "24" is always my highest priority. I would miss the birth of my first child if it came between me and my Bauer power hour.) So with that out of the way:
Holy shit Jack landed a jumbo jet on a freeway. And stopped it inches short of an overpass. This is the power of Bauer- when a trained commercial pilot tells him "we can't land a plane on this freeway. We're coming in too fast and there is not enough room to stop," Jack stares reality down until it blinks. He pulls through even the most insane situations through the sheer force of his iron will. There is no "impossible" when it comes to Jack Bauer. He's like a Nike ad come true.
After the plane gets on the ground, the episode slowed down to a crawl. Jack gets to reunite with Audrey, they have the recording, and everything seems to be coming to a conclusion. The president even looks like he is about to off himself, which would have not upset me in the least. This guy proves that the producers of "24" are conservative- because they give a good answer to the question "could you imagine a president worse than Bush?" Charles Logan seems like he crawled out of a toilet after Richard Nixon had a bad burrito. He's that loathsome.
Just when all looks lost for Logan, the little weasel from Homeland Security (how awesome is it that the Homeland guys are represented as such assholes?) calls the president and offers to "intervene" on his behalf. And after all the trouble Bauer went to to grab the recording, this schmuck ruins it with a damn magnet. I know there are three hours left in the season, but man, Jack's had it rough this season. I was half hoping that the last three episodes would have just been Jack and Audrey going to Disneyland or something. I know it wouldn't be that entertaining, but I just feel so bad for the guy at this point. But things are gonna get worse before they get better-Kim hasn't been kidnapped in a few years, and she's due.
There is still one more option though- Jack could always torture the recording until it works again.
