    24: Season Seven

    All should be better next season. I hear they have already cast Freddie Prinze Jr. as the head of CTU field ops. Kidding aside, I'll give him a chance, but I think I would rather have Rick Schroeder with an eye patch. ;) Regards,

    Trust me. Go back and watch it. It was much worse. You've probably just been trying to forget it for the past two years, and I can't say I blame you. ;) Regards,

    That would be harder to explain than what we are faced with now. He killed and facilitated others killing a bunch of FBI "redshirts" as well. Regards,

    24: Season Seven

    Try hour five. I remember thinking, "Jack shot Curtis and a nuke was detonated in SoCal. I can't wait to see how they top this." It turned out I could wait ... a very long time. All of the Bauer family drama proved to be a bust. :frowning: Regards,

    2nd greatest. You are forgetting when Jack came back from having his heart stopped a few seasons back. He didn't get around using no namby pamby wheelchair, I'll tell you that much. Regards,

    I do not think that Hodges knew about Tony. I think as far as he knew, Tony was part of the crew facilitating the Juma plot who turned and began working with the FBI. Regards,

    24: Season Seven

    Kudos to writer David Fury for incorporating a debrief sequence that actually proved useful. Traditionally, they have used debriefings to move characters off of the table when they were no longer needed or to create an excuse for a character to be detained and separated so they could be...

    24: Season Seven

    I find it funny that folks have more or less decided that there is no possible explanation for Tony's actions that they will accept. The show has not jumped the shark until they offer up an explanation that amounts to pure idiocy or smacks of desperation. They still have five episodes in...

    24: Season Seven

    w.r.t. the appearance of the episode, it looked like they messed up some day for night post-processing for the shots after Tony came out of the underground missile silo. It was clearly daylight, much brighter than before he went down, and not at all what Washington DC and its surroundings look...

    24: Season Seven

    The fact that the above poster spelled "hate" in all caps for emphasis and had to modify it with an adverb to sufficiently quantify his reaction means the writers got the strong response they were intending. I await the explanation to decide how I really feel about it, but if anything, Tony...

    24: Season Seven

    Agreed. Even his expressed doubts to Voight's character and the subsequent dressing down were purposely done within Tony's earshot in order to sell the mis-direction. Regards,

    24: Season Seven

    From a storytelling perspective, they reached the point where they wanted the audience to know. They shifted gears from mystery (who is the FBI mole?) to suspense (how long can he get away with it?). It should actually make for better TV. Of course, they will likely have a few other surpises to...

    ...and the man in pilot uniform at the airport bookstore holding multiple books and trying to decide whether to purchase "Airline Piloting for Dummies", "Airline Piloting for Klutzes", or "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Airline Piloting". Regards,

    24: Season Seven

    If, at the end of the day (or morning of the next day ), Tony, Bill, and/or Chloe are still alive, they will probably just be happy to be better off than 90% of the endangered species known as "Friends of Jack". Regards,

    24: Season Seven

    Exactly, so far all of the torture is resulting in golden information while those seeking to punish the torturers are adding nothing but bureaucratic drag to the resolution of the national and global security crises. As an aside, this was the first episode I had the opportunity to watch in...

    24: Season Seven

    Actually, just the fact that they built the plane set and cast an actress with lines to play the wife suggests that there will be more to her story than we have seen. Otherwise, we would have everything we need from the manifest list with her name on it and one sided phone conversations with...
