A fairly lackluster episode

...of "24" tonight, I thought, especially coming only one week before the season finale. In previous years at this time we've had things like:


  • A candidates wife trying to entrap her husband in an affair
  • An attempt to fabricate a reason to start a war for oil interests (imagine that), Jack's daughter terrorized by a child-abuser and wife killer
  • Tony betraying his country
  • The son of the secretary of defense first implicated in a conspiracy to commit terrorism, and then outed as gay, Michelle & Tony reuniting, the return of Mandy (played by everyone's favorite bisexual, Mia Kirshner) and Tony taken hostage.


Comparatively speaking, tonight, nothing happened.

As murderers with whom Jack has to force himself to work despite his overwhelming desire to kill them go, Henderson is really making me miss Nina Myers. Just as hissable a villain, and a damn sight sexier to boot.

And-obviously it's too late, not like there's much of a chance they'd read this anyway-but if I could have just a word in the ears of the writers: I still want to know why the constant repetitions of "Henderson killed David Palmer" aren't being followed by "and Michelle and Tony."

For second tonight it seemed like Jack was at least alluding to them when he said Henderson had killed "People I care about," but Henderson assumed he was only talking about Palmer and Jack didn't care to correct him.

Still not a show-killing, "shark-jumping" mistake, but I better hear their names mentioned next week (preferably as part of a litany Jack recites as he puts at least three bullets in Henderson's brain) or I'm gonna be very cross.
