Last Night's 24
Ok, so unless I missed something (I was out of the room for a few minutes at the very beginning of the show) we didn't find out whether Mr. Treasonous Ex-President died from the stab wound inflicted by his ex-wife, the former Designing Woman Jean Smart.
Meanwhile, we found out that the CTU has A Mole. (As in, someone who is keeping the bad guys informed.) When I first heard that, I thought, "Well, if I were a mole at the CTU and wanted to have a patsy, since Lee Harvey Oswald isn't available, I think I'd make the Muslim chick the patsy." And, sure enough, the person doing it has been using Nadia's code. Of course, Nadia has been using Milo's code (illegally, but that's a whole 'nother story) so of course we know it wasn't her, because like, the first thing they teach you in terrorist training school is not to log in as yourself if you are going to spy while at a government agency! (Not that I know that for a fact, but, once again, if I ran the zoo, that would be basic information.)
So we know the mole isn't Nadia. It's the sort of thing reading murder mysteries gives you an eye for. Listen, if you feel yourself suspecting the rakish and mysterious Lord Smythe-Trevelyn halfway through the book, chances are the poor peer's innocent. He's a red herring.
Speaking of Red Herrings, why are the Russians screwing with us again exactly? Don't they have enough problems over there to deal with without messing around with us? Of course, it's a ROGUE Russian. Sure.
Also, if I didn't know better, I'd say the VP was behind the assassination attempt on the President, except they just did that storyline LAST YEAR, right?
Also, here's a question for all the 24 fans out there - based on your history of watching 24, is The Mole going to be some random CTU person (the equivalent of the poor slob who gets beamed down with Kirk and Spock) or is it likelier to be a Person We Know? (There's an unwritten murder mystery rule that the killer must be an established character in the book.)
If so, my money's on Milo. I don't like him. He's weaseley, and was just a little too OK with Nadia using his code before.
Also, Ricky Schroder's not wearing pastel pink izods anymore! Take THAT, Alfonso Ribiero!
And Jack managed to get through this entire episode with torturing anyone or threatening to kill anyone. Good job!
