24: The Russians Did It
I think the subtle hints were laid down a few weeks ago when it was stated that the suitcase nuke that decimated poor, poor Valencia was of Russian origin. Add to that the fact that the producers and writers are all keen on connecting last season with this season and you get the Russians. More specifically Russian President Yuri “the Yurinator” Subarov, who was given up for assassination by President Charles Logan. That was an interesting storyline full of potential that just kind of vanished. Mark my word, the Russians are involved in this clusterfuck somehow.
Tonight 24 is two hours. Morris has been kidnapped after he got false word of his brother being exposed to radiation. Did anyone else notice that is was Milo who brought Morris the memo about his brother? Milo, the same tool who is letting Nadia use his login ID to do things. (yes, things!) I don’t trust this Milo kid. I smell a mole (yawn). All I can say is that we better not find out Milo is the unacquainted love-child of Nina Meyers. That would be almost as ridiculous as Sandra Palmer being Sherry Palmer’s former secret lesbian love slave. Or Graem being Jack’s brother. Oh wait, that one’s true.
Has 24 jumped the shark with this whole Evil Bauer family plot? I can’t honestly say yet. You can never tell when a show jumps the shark until further down the line. People didn’t see The Fonz literally jump the shark and then say, “Well that’s it.” They watched the show unfold slowly and then pinpointed the exact moment. If 24 jumps the shark before this season is over then I think we know where to start looking.
