Special Awards:

The Bad Writing Award: Goes to the writers for not informing us if Charles Logan is dead or alive, especially when that was the cliffhanger of the last episode.

Scrotum Face Award: Goes to Rick “Mikey Doyle” Schroder, he just hasn’t aged well at all, so I put a picture up of the younger Ricky. Silver Spoons! OH YEAH!

The Breathalyzer Award: Goes to Chloe, that was one of the funniest scenes in all of 24 history.

The Drone Flying Award: Goes to Jack, that was just amazing.

The Idiot Award: Goes to all the morons that got to the bomb before HazMat got there. I mean really what were they thinking? Now they’ll all meet the fate of George Mason.
