24 Jumps The Shark
OK. Nothing unusual about that. I just thought I’d document perhaps the worst one this season… So far!
A Russian gangster / assassin guy is posing as a New Jerseyish cop, complete with a New Jerseyish accent, in order to get close enough to a very well dresses ruler / king dude from a smallish presumably Middle East country that is giving up its nuclear ambitions in order to assassinate him. Of course, the brother of very well dresses ruler / king dude is the guy behind the plot. He calls the Russian gangster / assassin phony cop guy while the Russian gangster / assassin phony cop guy is already undercover… at the police station… being dispatched to the UN to help protect very well dresses ruler / king dude. He answers the phone, and, just to show that he is still the bad guy I guess,… answers it using his native very heavy Russian accent, not the New Jerseyish one. Keep in mind he is standing just outside the entrance of the police station, where cops are mulling all around. Do you think, like me, it might be a bit wiser to maintain your New Jerseyish accent, since you are right there at the police dispatch center and some other cop may be within earshot and you could be discovered as the Russian gangster / assassin posing as a New Jerseyish cop that you are. But, then again, this is the world of 24. First rule of 24 World… common sense is thrown right out the window!…. No, that is the second rule. First rule of 24 World…. Jack Bauer is simply indestructible!!!
