so far its one of the better episodes in a while.

MovieExchange

Yeah... this first half hour has done well in demonstrating why The Shield moved to the top of my "must see" list. I've been forgiving of all the abso-fucking-lutely retarded plot points in the last several seasons, but this is just pure ignorance. Torturing a rather high ranking government employee based solely on the say-so of a criminal?

Steam

I missed the first fifteen (caught when Audrey admitted to sleeping with someone, who I guess was Cummings). Anyone with a recap?

MovieExchange

Pretty much what you guessed. Chloe found out that Audrey and Cummings shared a room in an out of the way hotel. Terrorists lured 2 cops into an ambush and killed them, now they have police uniforms and a car for a police escort, which helps them get around the curfew.

Steam

Thanks.

Hopefully the "fake cops" sideplot doesn't drag on for too long, maybe long enough to finally kill off Wayne Palmer. Now if only they could hunt down that annoying twit Keith we will be all set.

DGibFen

It's a power maneuver. She's more about getting the power taken away from Jack and CTU, and less about if she is right or wrong about it.

Of course, I think she

Then again, I don't fully buy the show at all times, I just enjoy it for what it is.

DGibFen

Oh, I have a new rule for the drinking game:

Every time you hear the revelation noise (it sounds like a machine-sounding whistling wind, and it's usually puncuated with an orchestra hit or a medium-pitched musical tone), take a drink.

Steam

LOL!!!

Chloe's look at the other chick when she complained about Buchanon was hilarious.

Steam

Please don't kill Aaron. He's one of the only semi-originals we got left.

PopPit

Lol, Did we really need crazy sexual harrassment chick?

DGibFen

I smell a cougar.

Patman

Best laugh of the night: When Edgar's replacement, Sherry (lodged a sexual harrassment lawsuit against that HLS stooge in the past), gets all verklampt when Buchanan's hand barely brushes across her arm/shoulder and gets visibly upset about it, and then you see Chloe's reaction to it all.

MovieExchange

Christ, when Chloe shot that other guy down, I thought "great, they're not going to start a really bad subplot."

Guess I was wrong. Just what we need to distract people in CTU, a crazy bitch making sexual harassment accusations.

Steam

C'mon Jack. You can do it.

By the way, anyone want to do an over/under for how long Curtis lasts?

DGibFen

Wow, for all the stuff in this episode, the last five minutes of action made up for it.

Steam

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!

MovieExchange

I'll give them this - that was a good ending.

PopPit

Jack can't die, nor can he ever be incapacitated for more than 5-10 minutes, so all cliffhangers involving his safety seem pretty weak nowadays.

Good episode though, except for Sexual Harrassment girl, whom I now dub Cougar II.

DJLinus

I can't decide whether this subplot is eye-rolling or groan-inducing.

maingon

I thought this was an excellent episode, from beginning to end

Steam

Wait, so next week is centered around if Jack is alive?

Whats next, the following week its about if the sky is blue?

DGibFen

Next week:

Sanitarium

I hope they don't waste a lot of time on the sexual harassment bitch. That'll be just annoying.

Ranger

The Audrey torture scene was too short.


Last few minutes were just intense!
