24 Season 8: Episode 5

26/01/2010

Well it seems like Renee hasn’t lost her touch and manages to convince Jack that cutting off thumbs is not a bad idea.

More boring back story with Starbuck and her ex-boyfriend……oh, no, I’ve already got drool on myself. If only she was “Starbuck”, he’d be flat on the ground by now. The plot of this side story is quite simple – squeeze the girl for inside info from CTU. Wow, like that’s never been done before.

Oh yea, what’s with the name “Arlo”? I just chuckle every time I hear it :p

Seems like Mr. Prez likes to control people with fear; he also has his first spat with MPAT. Round two is with his wife; do we care? No.

The episode finally gets to the only relevant bit – Texas Chainsaw Walker gets to meet Vlad. It seems these bad guys have PhD’s in reverse psychology. This is how it works:

(1) “Hey, you’re a rat I’m going to shoot you”. “Noooo please don’t shoot” = DEAD!

(2) “Hey, you’re a rat I’m going to shoot you”. “Oooh, please shoot me. Shoot MEEEEEEEEE, I have no reason to live or anyone to go to…so KILLLLL MEEEEEEEE”. “Oh, you’re cool. You’re back in!”

…and that’s how Renee gets back in. I think Jack let out a brick right there in the car.
