OK, let me start by saying that the entirety of Monday night’s episode was about as far from Awesometastic as you can get.
In fact, I almost fell asleep a couple of times. Or would have, anyway, if I hadn’t been liveblogging.
But that 30 seconds or so — you know what I’m talking about — were among the best 30 seconds in the history of this storied show.
Let’s recap, shall we?
Renee stabs the crap out of Leoben Vlad, ’till he’s dead and bloody on the floor. Jack comes in, Renee stabs him in the gut.
Oops.
Jack slumps to the ground.
Suddenly, a bad guy bursts in! Without missing a beat, Jack slides the knife out of his gut and flings it across the room as only Jack Bauer can, stabbing the bad guy in the throat. I think he got pinned against the wall, even.
But wait, there’s more.
Jack and Renee leave the room, whereupon Jack shoots two more bad guys — to death! By the way, he’s bleeding a lot.
