Carnival of Bauer - Week 7

Thank you to, erm, Jack Bauer for graciously allowing me to host the Carnival of Bauer this week.

In honor of most wondrous Commander-in-Chief (no, not Jed Bartlett or Matt Santos), this week's laborious list of lithesome links and luscious labels the Carnival of Logan.

Reviews

Michael at Big Orange Michael summarizes the hour nicely. The same as he does every week. All hail to the power of the Big Orange.

Karen settles in hard at Her Chair, has a peanut butter and 'nanner sandwich and reviews the episode. Next time Karen, save some sandwich for Jack, 'cause he's hungry.

The aptly named Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler sinks his teeth into a lengthy review. And establishes a whole new set of character nick-names. Will the madness ever cease??

Jeff of Peace Like A River has a detailed review of Week (what, aren't we up to like 35 by now?) I guess it's about 18 or so.

Trench presents 11:00 P.M.-12:00 A.M. posted at TheTrenchcoat Chronicles.

Denis at Provoking the Muse has a brief recap of this week's episode - including commentary on what may be the greatest Chloe line in the history of the show (see above title of my site for reference)

Commentary

New World Man opens with a comparison between bookish and nerdy Chloe and Battlestar Galactica's he-woman Starbuck. Um, they're both blond. Next?

Timmay of Timmay's Rants speculates, ruminates and possibly cogitates on what possible grisly fates await PINO (President-in-name-only) Logan.

BAUER IN 2008!! He Will Be Working For YOU!! At least that's my campaign slogan. What's Demonrat's? Find out his version of Jack Bauer's Top 10 Campaign Slogans.

The house has been cleaned at CTU this year, so looks like the Human Resources department's going to be holding a Job Fair! King Tom has a look at next season's possible victims replacements.

Don Surber has some disturbing tie-ins between Major League Baseball and the day's events on 24. Not for the weak-conspiracy-minded.

Hey gang, you knew it was coming. Pantrygirl at Now What? brings us Product placement in the 24-verse. Hack into the mainframe with your Apple, download the results into your Palm Pilot, shoot the bad guys with your Smith & Wesson and escape in your Ford Explorer. Just don't stop at McDonalds, cause that'd be hazardous to your health...

Random Thoughts joins the legions of fans who are becoming very suspicious of Miss Pure White Coat Audrey Raines. Personally, I don't see it. Has anyone Jack ever tortured besides Said Ali ever actually been guilty?

Radioactive Liberty brings us a comparison between Howard Dean, and President Limpwrist. Can you tell which is which? Hmph. Obviously a pinko commie blog... *URK*

BOOM-chicka-BOOM-chicka-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!!! ***twang twang TWANG TWANG*** (sorry, just can't get the "Spy Hunter" music from the last 10 minutes of the episode out of my head. Cake or Death thinks the producers were channeling Charlie's Angels or Starsky and Hutch there at the end. I think he has a point, but to me it sounded more like some future alien traveler found an old episode of "Get Smart" under a rock someplace...

Maxwell Smart and 99. *sigh* Now there were some agents.

Francis at Eternity Road....why there's a great helper! Thank you Mr. Helper! You've given the producers ideas for seasons 6-8! What a sweet and special thing to do... Awwwwwww. Now get back on the table and put the IV back in - Burke isn't through with you yet, and Jack's on his way with a hacksaw...

Continuing with that happy-sappy family theme (huh? where?) Roger at Flank Two Position (great name!) enjoys a little quality TV time with his 3-year-old at Midnight in the Bauer of Good and Evil. And we all know what great father-child role models there are on "24"...

Ok, just in time for Passover Dr. Blogstein brings us the ulimate comparison: Jack Bauer vs. MOSES. Does Jack have that staff in his Jack-pack? Well, at least we all know who Moses was working for.

Hey, wait, are we talking about the legendary Biblical figure or Gwynneth Paltrow's baby?

I don't quite get the obsession with the daily "24" body count. Hasn't there been enough killing?? Hasn't there been enough death?? What about the children? Hasn't there been enough? Hasn't there?!? Hasn't there!?!?

Apparently not, because it seems rather obvious Henderson offed pretty little 8-year-old Amy this week. That's disturbing to me, and I don't know why because I would imagine other kids have died in the course of 24's turbulant 4-3/4 years on the air. Jack saved a little kid from the mall, but 11 people or so died there - probably a kid. Who knows how many kids died in the Infected Hotel of Season 3. Last year's Behrooz is likely pushing up daisies with his Little Debbie... (you see the pattern).

But even though they didn't show Henderson offing the little tyke, I think it's safe to say he didn't let her go. C'mon, producers - let's show some mercy to the under-13 bunch, hm?

Think of the children!
