24: Season 9, Episode 8 “6pm-7pm” (C-)
I do feel that time on this show could be better spent than watching Jack track the movements of Secret Service agents in order to smuggle the President away from his security detail to certain death. It also seemed incredibly easy to escape steadfast agents who didn’t even listen to a directive, presuming that Audrey was exempt from the request for Heller not to be disturbed. What really befuddles me is the way in which Margot chose to take out the brave and suicidal President, who was standing on the field presumably expecting at least a face-to-face or a recorded execution, and instead got hit from a drone in a manner that will make it both hard to prove that it was really him and also impossible for Margot to escape prosecution after for this targeted killing. I’m not sure what comes next, particularly because the other threads on this show have become extremely tiring. Audrey and Mark’s relationship drama is of particularly little interest, and so we’ll have to settle for the CIA traitor stuff. Let’s hope Kate is more perceptive than she was with her husband being framed, and that she’s able to honor the life of the unexpectedly resourceful but hilariously panicked late Agent Reed. It all ties in to Chloe in an unfortunate way, and as a result Jack, and I’d prefer a bit less mole-oriented plotting and a much grander theme for the final four episodes of what I truly doubt will be the real final season of this show.
