24

[Mutagen]

WELL SHIT. Never cared for old frogface Heller, but I can't deny he went out like a boss.

Navarro's plot is kind of silly, but fits right in with the 24 grand tradition of CTU being filled with backstabbing moles. Someone at TWOP once commented that Burger King appears to have more thorough background checks than the intelligence agencies on this show, and the streak is unbroken.  I still can't believe nobody found the dead body rotting away in a vent on Day 8.

That was frakking awesome! Not 100 % convinced he's actually dead yet, of course, but pretty darn gutsy all the same.

I am loving this mini-season so much! No, it's not high art, but it's back to good old-fashioned 24 and they're giving it all they've got. Really makes up for that crappy last season.

And Jordan better be OK! Take that Navarro down! I so wanted Jordan to ask the assassin "Who are you working for?"

I so wanted Jordan to shoot the assassin in both legs and then say "Tell me who sent you and I'll get you an ambulance, otherwise the next one's in your head." But it wouldn't be 24 if he had. Good episode anyway.

Welp, guess Jordan won't be helping bring in Navarro.

Terror mom did not go out in the blaze of honour and glory she had envisioned her end to be. Good.

Jack throwing Margaux out the window was classic Jack. She really did deserve it.

I was hoping Jordan would live to tell Jordan about her husband. Was the husband executed or just imprisoned?

I don't remember if it was even mentioned. And I can't believe we only have 3 episodes left!

Darn, I was really rooting for Jordan. And ha, I just knew Heller was still alive. Guess that means Jack and Tawdrey are back on, even though he's going around executing people again (reminded me of his handling of Katee Sackhoff's character last season).

Speaking of Terror Mum: she and Terror Son were so weird in that last scene! It honestly looked like they were going to start making out or something.

Will we ever see Simone again? Seriously, she's messed up, but I can't help loving her.

Lastly: run, Chloe, run! I love Michael Wincott, but he does creepy so well!

Mark's face when he realized he done fucked up? And Navarro's face when he realized he'd been played? Ahahahahaha! The final two hours will be intense!

[Witchie]

Mark is an idiot. In the middle of a mission, he sics the Russians on Jack. All because he's a jealous, insecure fool. Audrey is not worth the treason charge, dude.

Navarro was scared, and rightfully so. He was a bad bad man, but damn Benjamin Bratt is aging well.

Heck yes, but I was more distracted during the Jack/Navarro scene knowing both actors had been engaged to Ghoulia Roberts. Awkward?!

At least now we know about Kate's husband. Yikes. And that Morris' and Prescott's deaths were an accident. Dammit, Chloe, please don't die too!

This was one of my key takeaways from the episode as well.

I did NOT see it coming at all that Cheng Zhi would walk through the door.  Dude may be evil but he is a fucking badass.
