Didn't post anything about the latest hour of Day 6, because once again, it was an hour of minor plot increments and not much action. The usual 24 office politics came back into play, with another character folding to political blackmail - does nobody fight this sort of thing? Didn't Karen Hayes think the President might actually want her advice badly enough to stick up for her?
As advertised, James Cromwell made his first appearance as Jack Sr. - wow, did he get old. He didn't look that old in I, Robot, did he? He only showed up in the last few minutes, long enough to get Jack captured twice. I'm kind of glad Graem did get the drop on everyone - after all of the machinations he's apparently been involved in over the past few years, I'd hate to think he would just give everything up after being attacked by a plastic bag.
Meanwhile, we also see that the whole detention facility subplot may in fact come to nothing with respect to the bombings. Oh, well - at least we'll likely get some P.C. "balance" out of it.
I don't typically watch the previews, so I don't know if things pick up next week or not - but I think we've seen enough plot. Let's get back to Fayed, O.K.?
