Kind of lame episode of 24 last night. When I put out a column I don’t really like, I call it a place-holder. That’s what last night’s episode felt like to me.
The Homeland Security take-over of CTU is dull and uninspired.
Curtis lived through another episode without his character being developed in the least. Maybe that’s his survival strategy, since characters you like never seem to live long on 24. I mean, no one likes Kim, yet she’s still alive. If Curtis starts acting whiny and spoiled, I’ll be sure that’s his game.
Wayne Palmer resurfaced, insisting on visiting the Presidential compound so he could give something to Aaron, the Secret Service guy. Unfortunately, Wayne wasn’t able to outrun a crappy old van with his sports car.
The show ended with Collette saying Audrey had been the one who provided her with the blueprint. Audrey? Come on. With Nina, there were clues she had the potential to be bad. She had an affair with a married man. She had a cold, aloof demeanor. There was definite self-serving bitch potential in her. But Audrey has never been anything but doe-eyed. She’s the spinning around in the snow, tossing her beret in the air like Mary Tyler Moore type, not someone who would sell out her country. What reason would she have to do something like that? She has a good relationship with her family and isn’t hurting for money. (Well, maybe she is hurting for money since it looks like she can’t afford to buy food on a regular basis.) It feels like a set up, but I wonder how long Jack will end up torturing her before she’s proven to be innocent? Guess Jack will be sleeping alone for another year.
