Hastily-Painted Acrylic Sketches from TV: "24" Edition: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Remember when Ethan had that heart attack a few hours ago? Here he is, on his feet again and back at work. I guess he got better. Heck, there may be hope for Walker -- give her some of whatever he's taking.
"I want my immunity agreement back," Dana says. Fine, we'll have President Taylor tear a fresh one off the roll. Wow, this version of Katee Sackhoff turned out much better than my last try.
Allison Taylor arrives at CTU. I love how even the CTU employees were incredulous: The President's coming here? But this is like the most dangerous place in the world! What if we get blown up again?

Wacky old President Logan is back! "Let me help you," he says. Now, I'm not a man given to vulgarity, but there is no way to describe his expression at this point other than "sh**-eating grin."

Oh for the love of . . . between Jack's cunning disguise and this, The Worst Mascot Costume Ever, "24" is really bringing the unintentional humor. It's supposed to be a tense, dramatic moment, and here I am laughing, because Jack, FPJ, and the redshirts have formed a box with feet. It's nearly impossible for a lumbering box with feet not to be funny.
I sort of thought this was coming, when Chloe called Walker, who told her to "do what you have to do" to convince the NSA gang to do things her way. You recall Walker's methods of persuasion from earlier in the day? Not finding any angle grinders handy, Chloe pulls out a gun instead.
Toodles, Agent Owen. We knew you were dead as soon as Freddie Prinze Jr. had to help you buckle something on your uniform, hours ago.

Bah. So it looks like I'm as bad at drawing Katee Sackhoff as I am at Keifer. Don't know why I bothered trying to draw her from a paused frame of "24," since obsessed nerds have probably posted eleventy billion pictures of her online thanks to BSG.
Mrs. Hassan turns into snarling dragon lady this hour. I guess having two-thirds of one's immediate family involved in assassination/kidnapping/nuclear conspiracy might do that to one.
I suppose it wouldn't be a CTU attack without some clueless redshirt trying to be a hero. "I can move the car, there's still two seconds left before the bomb goes off! Let's see, turn the key here, put it in reverse, check the mirrors, make sure my seat bel--"
The ending of the episode was pretty good, with all the pandemonium at CTU. Here's Chloe, still at her post after the lights go out, in the last few seconds of the hour.

AAAARRRGGGHH NO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING the idiotic My Secret Redneck Past subplot isn't dead after all! Curse you, 24, you've made me upset at an appearance by Stephen Root, Milton himself, the great Jimmy James!
I enjoyed this scene with Marco's mom. The actress looked really familiar, but I don't know what exactly I remember her from. Maybe it was Turner & Hooch?

They were making it such a point that Agent Owen was nervous, had no experience, looked twelve years old, etc., that I was sure he was about to get killed. But he's now survived multiple episodes.
Bleh. What a lousy episode. Here's a picture of the Flava Flav cell phone commercial, because there was nothing else to draw.
