I know what you've been
I know what you've been thinking. You've been like, "here we are, 6 weeks into the second mind-blowing season of 24, and nary a peep from Amy's Robot? Why should I go on living?" Well, move the hacksaw away from your neck. Yes, we're watching, and yes, it's good. It's...well it's pretty good.
Also especially good lately has been Television Without Pity's recaps, which are definitely richer when a show is past its rocky first season (i.e. when there aren't any characters randomly getting amnesia or suffering other insulting plot devices.) Here they are on US reactions to alleged terrorist activity originating in a fake Middle Eastern nation:
"Anyway, the Fauxraqistanis insist that they have brought several Second Wave members in for questioning, and that they're making stellar progress in clamping down on terrorist activity in their country. Yulin whips out some satellite photos taken today which show that terrorist activity is still taking place in Fauxraqistan. Um, what? Palmer had a conversation with the Prime Minister of Fauxraqistan three hours ago. What kind of progress was Yulin expecting? And what's in those aerial photos that prove that "terrorism is still taking place"? Is some Fauxraqi terrorist marching band lining up to form the letters "America sucks donkey cock" on a football field?"
