Hour 2 to 3 am: CTU has to be powered by Microsoft Windows

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

On this episode the bad guys penetrated CTU, one more time. I'll never get tired to denounce how permeable CTU's building is. Seriously, since the first season they should have closed the whole thing for good. Anyways, the shocking part was learning the Chinese were after Jack's nephew and nobody else. The Chinese weren't smart enough to repair the micro controller, and hired Jack's father to repair it in exchange of his grandson, as weird as it sounds, that's what we have came to with 24, everybody deals with everybody.

Now what I cannot understand is, why they killed Milo?, it was like putting to much effort for a quite simple and easy task. Geez, they were kidnapings a kid, they were not taking down the US government. Farewell Milo, we never got to know you but you were kinda of a cool dude everybody at CTU could count on.

In Split-ville, population Chloe and Morris, everything is on track for a relationship wreckage, with both parts sticking the finger in the "you armed a nuclear device for the terrorists" wound, I foresee no possible reconciliation between these two.

The vice president 's mistress had a HARD time dealing with her lover for her to skip death row due treason. It was kinda funny knowing she was with him in bed for almost half an hour ( talking about mixing business with pleasure). Oh well, the whole set up is to get to know who is the Russian agent passing updates to Moscow. After such a good relation between the US and Russia (at least on 24), everything is falling into pieces for a computer board, and a mistress cheating the US vice-president with a traitor, who knew the "end of the world" would start in such a way?.

OK people, is 2 hours for 24 season 6 to go, the Chinese have the kid, the nuclear chip board and the secret recipe for a sweet and sour duck you would kill for. Is there any hope left?. Will 24 season 7 be about Jack combating terrorist with a stick in a post apocalyptic new stone age?. Will everybody learn president Palmer is not in a coma? (he is just faking it to avoid dealing with his disastrous government). Will Chloe turn into a hillbilly for her to forget her troublesome past?. This and more questions will be answered on 24 soon... stay tuned.

Hour 11 pm to 12 am: When the president of the US owes you a favor, you have the world in your hands

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

The Chinese revealed their intentions to get their hands on Russian nuclear bomb trigger technology for them to have an edge in a possible World War 3. They want Jack to deliver them an integrated circuit board from a tactical nuclear bomb in exchange of Audrey, who would imagine a piece of plastic having more value than a human life?

Jack got his wish granted to take the nuke's chip board to the Chinese in order to free Audrey. He is not going to take any chances, his plan is to destroy the board, himself and the Chinese troupe with some C4 he is going to bring along. Jack said it to the president and said it at the beginning of the season: he is willing to die for those things he loves and believes and more if his death serves a purpose.

Think this has to be the first time CTU intercepts Jack's plans to go rouge, if it wasn't for Chloe, he could have saved some time and some hassle, but you know Jack, being stubborn as he is pays off at the end. Mike Doyle ended up being tied to a fence and Jack is now on his merry way to free his love of his life.

President Dwayne finally gave the boot to the vice-president, if it wasn't for the president fading into another coma, the vice-president should be applying for a job in the corporate world at this moment.

Hey, the vice-president still got his signed resignation, all they have to do is take the letter to the attorney general and make the president of congress the president (I guess). And as a fail safe, Lennox still got the "Bunkergate" tape that could put the vice-president in jail, if he gets away with it, I really want to see it.

Till the next episode, thanks for visiting and stay tuned on more 24....

Hour 10 to 11 pm: You don't know what you are capable of till a nuke explodes in your backyard

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

I know, if a nuke explodes in your backyard you wouldn't be able to do anything at all, is just a figure of speech ;).

Back to the "stop the wackos business", President Palmer had enough of the diplomacy game and took justice in his hands sending a little flying gift to the "middle east" country, homeland of Fayed. After 17 hours of struggling with the crisis, the ambassador finally showed some willingness to collaborate before realizing he would be the representative of a government with no territory, at least one without nuclear radiation.

Fayed is no more!!!, go to hell Fayed!!!. Jack showed him who's the boss. You can't come to the Jack like that.

After Jack putting Fayed to dry, the nuclear threat was finally over, but it wasn't over there yet, a blast from the past comes to haunt Jack with some shocking news: Audrey is alive!!!, but in hands of the Chinese. Why are the Chinese coming back?, didn't they have enough of providing Jack with One Ton of Knuckle Sandwiches?. They got a good deal out of turning Jack back so, what else?, why trying to blackmail Jack with Audrey?. Better yet, where was CTU's intel when they got "proof" Audrey was dead in an attempt to rescue Jack in China?

On the side we got to see Milo getting distant with Nadia, why of that sudden change?. And once again we didn't get to see much of Morris and Chloe, but the little we got was on how sarcasm runs with this odd couple.

The cake of this episode goes to CTU fooling Fayed into thinking he was freed by a commando of a rebel cell from his motherland. It was the same technique they used to fool Jack into giving away the Chinese mole when he was imprisoned in China. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just search for the 24 pre-season trailer presented by Toyota. I'll see if I'm able to get it for your leisure.

Till the next jump, stay tuned for more updates in this blog.

Hour 7 to 8 pm: Fly by night drones

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

Is another nuke down, two to go.

Jack saves the day one more time applying his piloting skills. Although Jack crashed and burned, the nuke didn't go off. All that happened was a radioactive leak powerful enough to leave you as impotent as an United Nations army general.

Who patched the drone's pilot with CTU's computers?, was is it Milo?. He "helped" Nadia regain access to the system. In times of despair and confusion, the weak, the different and the outcasts are to blame, else ask the people from the unnamed country that are about t be blown till next week, courtesy of the trigger finger itching vice President.

We got to learn about Audrey Raines death in China. She was using "back channels" (didn't make that up, watch the episode) trying to free up Jack. The government was afraid to rescue Jack and a puny woman with well put pants got to courage to at least give it a try, tsk, tsk, tsk, CTU, shame on you.

Jack is now driven to avenge Audrey. Seems like a never ending loop for him. When we think he is done, another bomb goes off in his life. Hang in there Jack.

The comedic releif was provided by Chloe giving Morris a pasionate kiss just to check whether he was sober. After realizing what happened Morris said, CTU, you gotta love work here. I agree, CTU, love it or leave it, when they raise the lock down.

Hour 6 to 7 pm: We are all a little bit crazy

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

This episode introduces us to Mike Doyle, a new cocky control freak in CTU's field operations. Starting with the wrong foot, old Mike is in Milo's top list: Who I will send a live grenade for X-Mas. He might be good but being an ass to people just for the sake of "getting things done" is totally wrong, you attract bees with honey and nothing else.

Jack on the other hand, spent lots of time hiding from the army o wacky Russians that were after him, that was either a BIG basement or the guards were somehow "slow". Trying to call CTU to report Gredenko's location in the Mohave desert was at some point laughable, I'd buy the complete lock down, but consulate employees without cellphones?, seems they don't know the Soviet Russia tanked some years ago.

What did it take to stop a nuclear holocaust?, a call to a girlfriend. This will revolutionize the way to do world politics, forget the meaningless reunions at the U.N., get rid of expensive consulates and diplomatic envoys, give every first lady in the world a phone with great long distance rates and see how things will get done. Thanks Martha, you really shined on this episode, where the Vice-president failed, you conquered, way to go girl. And like a great matador you left the scene thrusting your kiwi knife on your ex, that my friends was THE exit.

Fayed delivered the nukes to Gredenko and a literally "Firebird" will soon cross the friendly skies. Who will be the lucky city: Paris (Texas), Reno (Nevada) or Branson (Missouri)?. Just as a technical fact, the drone they will use, codename Predator, can fly for up to 30 hours, that will cover a distance up to 6510 kms, do your math and see if you have to give a call to your real state broker.

And the end marks the departure of our "beloved" president Logan. Thy who kills by the sword, dies by the sword. We'll miss you NOT!!!!.

Hour 5 to 6 pm: In soviet Russia, consulate Jacks you

ATTENTION: Some spoilers ahead, if you live in a place where season 6 of 24 is not broadcasted this is the wrong post to read.

Not happy with the vacation at club Chinese Wall, Jack goes commando at the Russian consulate. His commitment to the job deserves our admiration, is either that or Jack developed a kinky sense. The tricky part of attacking the consulate wasn't facing lots of angry Russians armed to the tooth, but trying to call CTU to deliver an update on Gredenko's location, can you hear me now?.

President Logan as always doesn't accomplish too much, telling Jack the Russian consul was holding information was something Jack could figure out by himself.

Lennox understood the hard way, there is no way they will pin the bunker bombing to the government but Assad. All it takes is a guy that doesn't speak the language, although Assad was very well spoken, to put the scapegoat label on him.

Getting the Arabs blamed for the attacks is Gredenko's ultimate wet dream. As an extremist, he didn't put too much thought into his plan. There is no perfect crime, and there is no perfect war crime either, with his approach, all he will get is the tomb of his mom blown away to Siberia, because more sooner or later the Russians would pay for what he did.

The episode ends with a blast, we see Assad going down in flames, while the president gets a bath of shrapnel. Who would have known that so little liquid explosive could react in such violent way?.

Did you catch the code the activate the bomb at the press room?, 624, or in simple words, season 6 of 24 ;).
