Chain, chain, chain...

Well, tonight, we had a fairly good paced episode of 24. Set between 10 pm and 11 pm, there were some pretty good twists, paced throughout the show. Just minutes in, there was a nuclear launch, 5 minutes to impact ... 4 minutes ... uh oh, then we got a little presidential hand-shaking going on ...

...Ambassador tells Palmer of General Mohmar Habib ... 2 minutes... Palmer threatens the Ambassador ... abort.... abort ... wait, a bluff? An unarmed missile?

Of course, little did Fayed know that early on in the episode, Jack would utter the fateful line: "Trust me, I haven't *begun* to enjoy myself." (Little did Fayed know that those words would end up having much deeper meaning in the final minutes of tonight's episode.)

The next twist, a nice one, was the Fayed ambush. But minutes later, alert, alert: we got a "damn it" from the sanitation truck.

And when Fayed finally stopped to meet up with his posse, check out how Jack pulled out the guard *very* nicely .. grab the ankles, twist the next, geez! Then, Jack sees it: the suitcase. But, why take out one guy ...against how many?? Was his back-up that close behind him?

Then, the music, we can tell by the music, we're talking about ultimate fight music ...the wrench -- was that a wrench? Then the music slows down ... a bite, a head butt, chain chain chain, well done! Whoa, the chain! One of THE most absolute deaths, bar none, throughout the entire season. The brutality and finality of it all. From the fight itself, combined with the music, there was definitely an air of finality and conclusion ... Geez, I wonder what the boys at www.bauercount.com will say about that (weird web site; but whatever gets you through the night, I guess...)

But are the bombs on the table? Doyle: the bombs are secure. Ok. we're fine. But are we? Those who know 24 best, know that we're not done yet. There's something more ... we've got a few more weeks left, right?

Now, how many of you out there thought to themselves, "Audrey!"


...yes, Audrey!
