Back to Los Angeles. I can see her wanting to get back to her baby as soon as possible. Given that her flight was already delayed an hour (or whatever) at 5am, it's a few hours too early; most service starts around 6am. But since the show blows the roof off the nitpick scale, this one is pretty...

It would be hilarious if Jack converted to Islam, either by season's end, or the start of next season.

You could read it at least a few different ways. On the surface, sure; but when you consider how ridiculous the situation on the show is, it's far too easy to dismiss. Look at what the show is setting up now: find a "Muslim" dupe to frame to hide the fact that the terrorism is being done on...

I wouldn't pay off any bets yet. There is still time for the writers to decide that Tony is actually a quadruple-agent. Tony (appearing to) murder Larry doesn't really matter, since innocent people are slaughtered on this show all the time for "the greater good".

As I detailed before, the sequence of events could have been almost exactly the same regardless of what happened to Bill.

It was not necessary. If Bill had badly sprained his ankle so that he couldn't run around, wouldn't Voight still be there? Bill's not torturing anyone. They would still have to question whatshisname. Voight would still have to kill him. Jack would still get framed. Jack would still go rogue to...

But do they really? The conceit of the show is that it's "real-time". Knowing that "there's someone else" behind the day's crimes, would Jack just give up hours into it? Is that the reason they pile on the baloney with the sermonizing and incompetence? "That's it, I've had it -- you protect...

It wouldn't be fair to rip the show to shreds if I didn't watch the whole thing, now would it?

What an insulting piece of shit. The main tension I had was waiting until it was over so I could complain about it. Secret Service guy says that they were getting hostages so they had to pull out, which allowed them to them to GET MORE HOSTAGES. You don't allow terrorists to consolidate...

The previews show that the next target is the White House. This was pretty obvious by getting everyone back to the "safe" location, and having the Senator's Chief of Staff get the message as he's going there too. The conditions required for what seems likely to happen are even more stupid...

In the previews for next week, Jack and Renee are yelling at each other -- not a spoiler But at the very end, right as they went to black and started the local news, there was a single frame that was fading out with Right, I knew that. Plus the Milo/Morris mixup... I blame jet lag.

It should be no surprise that Dubaku then turns the tables on them and threatens to expose them, and the vast conspiracy is shaking in its boots and helping him get out safely. In addition to the stupidity of the CIP mumbo-jumbo that is tied into everything, this is the second fatal flaw in the...

Ah, the aroma of freshly opened socket.... He was in a camp commanding his troops in his own native (yes, African) country during the coup. That says practically nothing about his back-story, unless I forgot a scene.

I am quite disappointed that Carly Pope will no longer make guest appearances. The dialog had Tony making the contact. I suppose that while Emerson and the driver were busy watching Jack shoot and cover her, that Tony was able to send a message -- texting, tapping out Morse code with his...

I agree -- just noting when the writers pull their usual story levers.

If Walker was paying attention, she got confirmation that there's a "source" at the FBI that is not Jack. But maybe she was still seething after Jack put his hands on her. In that situation, it looks like Renee will suffocate quickly. The show even ended with the silent clock.... They've...

Stupidest line so far is the bad guy complaining that what Renee was doing was illegal. Just not sure if it was intentionally so. As I hinted earlier, they had not even cast him at this point in the production. Kind of like how in Season One, no one was thinking about Dennis Hopper in the first...

Another day, another blown "perimeter". You forgot to mention, his very hot wife. I would be pissed off too.

Technical implausibility, moles, and silly office romance/politics -- 24 is back! Yes of course. I also recall a promo bit after Redemption with the FBI boss unconvincingly stating that since we're the good guys we follow the rules, and Jack puts him in his place and tells how How Things Are...
