Yeah so anyway, after enjoying a beautiful weekend and gorging on lots of bbq food including what was probably more bacon wrapped shrimp than really necessary (but DAMN was it yummy!), I FINALLY settled in to watch the season finale of 24...and WOW! Super intense. I almost didn't survive. I swear, I must have almost passed out from exhaustion at least 5 or 6 times during this finale.

Hour 1: Kiefer continues to be more of a bad ass than even I can begin to buy into, and I'll buy almost ANYthing that's on tv. He teaches Officer Rooney, who looks like he's about 18 years old, how to kill someone with a pocket knife (that kid is sooo going to need therapy when this day is over). Kiefer gets WAILED in the head with a big wrench and manages not to pass out, but rather takes the opportunity to kill Bierko with the sole use of his legs. Oh, and Robocop TOTALLY got duped. Serves him right for not checking for bullets when Kiefer gave him the gun.

Umm yeah okay, so that was only about half hour in and my heart was already pounding so hard I wasn't sure I'd actually survive the entire finale. But after a quick break (a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk), I was off and running again. During the rest of hour 1, crazy Martha recruits Novick to help her help Aaron run away and once again I swear crazy Martha and Aaron were THISCLOSE to making out in the stables. And Crazy Martha is forced to get it on with her crazy husband the dumb ass as a stall tactic. ew. Meanwhile Kiefer convinces Chloe to help him (as if THAT'S hard to do) chase down President Dumb Ass and as part of her undercover work, has her EX-HUSBAND brought in to help? Can I just say...WTF? There's a suspicious time warp here as Chloe requests Morris be brought in, and within 3 minutes, ta-da! There he is.

Hour 2: Crazy Martha and President Dumb Ass engage in a quickie (either that or there is another time warp here, but I think that this is really just a reflection of President Dumb Ass as a lover. heh.) and then Kiefer hijacks the chopper that Logan gets on. Anyone keeping count of how many aircraft Kiefer has hijacked thus far today? In any case, Kiefer's plan is foiled as a SWAT team shows up before Kifer can coax a confession out of Dumb Ass.... OR, maybe Kiefer just wants us all to THINK he's been foiled! Luckily, Dumb Ass is ignorantly convinced that Kiefer has indeed been foiled as he progresses to make his confession to Crazy Martha. Whether or not Crazy Martha was actually aware of this plan is another story, but that's irrelevant. Justice is served.

Okay, now - last ten minutes of the season. I take serious issues with the time warp. 6:50-ish AM in 24-time sets off a sequence that just makes no sense to me. Kiefer is duped into taking a fake phone call from Kim, dragged to goodness knows where to get the CRAP beat out of him and then loaded onto a giant China-bound cargo ship that is way out in the Pacific Ocean by 7am? whatever. Kiefer looking so damn beat up was almost enough to distract me from the time warp issue. damn Chinese people.
