24 6.11: Day 6 - 4:00PM - 5:00PM

"Worried about me is one thing, but charging into the men's bathroom is borderline obsessive."

Ding dong, the Wayne is dead. Which old Wayne? President Wayne!

Well, I guess technically, Wayne Palmer isn't dead... yet. But he's been blowed up by a bomb, or at least the cliffhanger lets us think so. I'm hoping he is dead, however, for several reasons:
1. The writers will be a centimeter closer to redeeming themselves for not killing off President... Keeler (was that his name? Yes, it was) season 4 when they blew up Air Force One. Though it won't redeem for many, many other things.
2. President Wayne Palmer DOES NOT EQUAL President David Palmer. God rest his soul.
3. The story possibilities are endless if Wayne is killed - Evil Vice President Noah Daniels takes over the country, more Muslim correctional facility wackiness, Lennox accused (and possibly teaming up with a bereaved Sandra Palmer to find the killers)... but we'll see.

Before all of that good fun, we had other things to worry about. First of all, Jack Bauers glowers some more as he is whisked away to LumberLogan's super secret cabin getaway, where the government has placed him under house arrest in return for not arresting him for being involved with the Day 5 conspiracy. LumberLogan convinces President Palmer (before said assassination attempt) to let out for the evening, so he and Jack can go to the Russian consul to find out... something (I think find out where Gredenko is planning to set off the bombs... or something), as a result of blackmail. Since the Russians were also involved with the conspiracy... which is interesting considering that President Subarov and his wife were almost killed. This plotline for the hour mostly consists of Jack and LumberLogan getting dressed for the occassion. That's right, forty-five minutes worth. Those are two bitches when it comes to getting dressed, and to think that it took Jack three minutes to shave off his beard at the beginning of Day 2. You're getting up there, old man!

Morris, my favorite character still, is doing his job, and Chloe and Nadia (shut the hell UP, Nadia!) and all the rest of CTU is worried that he's not doing his shit. So, Chloe calls his sponsor, Bart Simpson, and Bart tells her that she hasn't spoken to Morris in a few years. Which causes Chloe to storm into the bathroom, into the stall where Morris is dropping the kids off at the pool, and totally makes an ass of herself. Such is the CTU drama.

In the "Secret Lovers" storyline, Lennox is tied up, knocked around, and Reed's one co-conspirator plants a bomb in the podium where Wayne and Dr. Bashir are going to give their televised speech. Reed tries to comfort Lennox and tries to clean his wounds lovingly while trying to save his life, and then goes to plant the bomb. This assassination attempt, by the way, is really sloppy. The bomb will kill you only if you're within ten feet of it. That's lame. But, the bomb goes off, and either Dr. Bashir or Wayne OR BOTH are dead.

But I guess we'll find out til next time.

All in all: B-

Until next time, same bat time, same bat channel.
