Does anybody else besides me wanna see the Vice President get bitch slapped? Is he CRAZY?! They prevented the latest nuclear attack, and they captured Gredenko. The man's evil!

Then again, maybe Daniel's has watched the last few seasons of 24...and knows that the end game is FAR from revealing itself yet.

Powers Booth does an excellent job in that role. He makes you want to punch him right in the face! I loved how the Doctor told him to go fuck himself without saying go fuck yourself. The writing is just fantastic. They made us hate Daniels in the first few episodes and now have us rooting for him and the last few. Oh, and I still think that Milo is a mole.

Didn't you just love it when the patrons of the bar began beating the shit out of the terrorist and then Jack topped it off by kicking him in the face? What in the world caused President Palmer to change his mind like that? Pressure? Guilt? Ok, so I was sort of right about Milo. Not to sound redundant, but the writing is just fantastic.

The bar scene where Gredenko betrayed Fayed was fantastic. I kind of saw it coming simply by how easily Gredenko gave up Fayed to Bauer, but the way it was executed made it awesome. Fayed starts opening fire on innocents like a crazed lunatic, a whole bunch of guys tackle him and give him a shit kicking. Then Jack runs in like Superman and says "Federal agent! Hands off!" Then Fayed opens his mouth and Jack kicks him in the face.

As for Palmer...I think his medical condition is affecting his judgment. He basically said that he's doing it because he doesn't wanna look weak compared to Daniels. Plus...I think he has doubts about himself compared to his brother. I'm sure he's constantly asking himself "What would David do in this situation?"

Now what happend to the former President after he was stabbed? All we know is that he went into cardiac arrest, and that was it. I wonder what the writers have in store for us with that?

I was watching tv last night and they showed a brief preview of 24. I heard someone tell Jack that President Powell is conscience. I thought, wait! He's dead. Then they showed a brief scene of his "brother" in the hosptial" I guess I know who the President is in season 6.

I knew that Audrey was NOT dead!!! How great was it when Jack hanged the terrorist?

Seeing Jack kill EVERYBODY last night was awesome. It's been a while since we've seen the TRUE bad ass Jack Bauer, and he came through in spades last night. The fight between Fayed and Bauer was intense. When Jack wrapped that chain around Fayed's neck and said "Say hello to your brother", it was just a very satisfying moment.

I also couldn't believe that Audrey would be dead. I knew the writers could come up with something better than what they had. Writing off a main character like that seemed cheap. I had a feeling we'd be seeing her this season.

IMO, this Milo/Nadia story needs to go somewhere, and fast. I'm sick of the CTU storyline focusing on their love story. I'd rather see Bill, Chloe, and Morris.

I was glad to see Chloe and Morris get more face time this week. Their presence (especially Chloe) has been sorely missed. No offense to the writers, but unless the Milo/Nadia storyline goes some place, I really don't care about them.

I've read a few reviews on this week's episode where people are saying that Jack going rogue and against CTU is out of character. True, Jack risking an international incident to save Audrey is a bit extreme...but consider all she went through to try and save him. He faked his own death and was forced into hiding at the end of Day 4 (effectively killing his relationship with his daughter), captured by the Chinese at the end of Day 5 and tortured for the next 18 months. The man has nothing left.

He told President Palmer that he will destroy the chip as soon as he has confirmation that Audrey is safe. There were doubts about his ability to do his job at the beginning of the day, but he's proven he can still get the job done.

Who knows, maybe I'm thinking too much into this...

I think that Jack has had it now. He's at the point that he feels he's sacrificed enough of his own life, jeopardized the lives of those he loves or loved, and sacraficed his personal relationships, to protect the country. He's paid a steep price to secure the country. It's almost as if he now feels that this request made by him to rescue Audrey is owed to him. He now feels that anything he needs he has coming to him by his government. And I don't know that I disagree wih him at all. Bad thing is that the V.P. now has something to use against President Palmer.

I've been wondering when this moment would come, but I think you're right. I think Jack has finally said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" He's been instrumental in saving the US time and time again since the show's inception...and at the expense of many of the people he loves. He lost Terri at the end of Day 1, lost his daughter when he "died" at the end of Day 4, and lost Tony and Michelle because of his decision to fake his death.

Not to mention the countless suicide missions he's undertaken at the request of his government. Flying the nuke into the desert in Day 2, going back undercover with the Salazars in Day 3, attacking and illegally detaining a prisoner at the Chinese consulate in Day 4, and agreeing to help divert the crisis in Day 5 (albeit under false pretenses by President Logan.)

He's put his ass on the line long enough.

And don't forget that when he went undercover for the government with the Salazars he became addicted to drugs!
TIS, if you are opening this, then I'll know that you peeked!

President Palmer was knocked out in the explosion and was in critical condition. He was made to be brought out of a coma so that he could put a stop to the nuclear attacks ordered by the VP. Ok. No problem. But then he prances around, showing at times that he is weak, doing so outside the presence of his doctor, only calling him in from time to time. I find it very hard to believe that in a matter of a couple of hours after being in a bombing and a coma, that the President was able to move around and function the way that he did. This is all taking place within a 24 hour time period and not on a weekly basis.

Nadia, a muslim, now the acting head of CTU! This show has more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. I just don't trust that Milo. It's as though he has some kind of hidden agenda. Next weeks coming attractions made mention of an informer on the inside. Hmmmm.

I had a feeling that Bill would be going down this episode. Nadia taking over CTU was a shock for me. I figured it would be Chloe...or even Milo. It's amazing...after all Nadia went through earlier this season (having her security access down-graded, being interrogated by Jack Bauer-lite: a.k.a. Mike Doyle), she's now interim head of CTU.

The tension between Chloe and Morris came to a head this week. No offense to Morris, but he was asking for the "arming nuclear warheads" comment from Chloe. He was constantly picking at her and harassing her. If ANYBODY should know about Chloe's personality, it should be her ex-husband.

Well, CTU and Mike Doyle blew it this week. Jack was set to destroy the chip when Doyle tries to go all Jack Bauer and save the day. Some advice, Mike...there's only one Jack Bauer. Quit trying.

I had a feeling that Audrey wasn't quite herself. You gotta figure, if they did even a fraction of what they did to Jack to Audrey, it would be devastating. With only a few more episodes this season, it's gonna be interesting to see how they wrap everything up.

I knew that Jack did something to the computer board before handing it over to the Chinese.

Agreed. Despite it almost NEVER being Jack's intention, nothing he has touched as ever turned to gold. He is cursed. What a horrible feeling that must be...and the look on Jack's face at the end spoke volumes (as did the look on Heller's.)

It was heartbreaking seeing Jack get through to Audrey...only to have that taken away from him.

So far...the Presidential storyline has been my favorite this season...and it just keeps getting better. Powers Boothe is incredible in the role of Vice President Daniels, and it was nice to see a change in his character. I'm still not 100% convinced that we'll see no more treachery from him, but last night's story was well played.

Doyle actually grew on me a bit this week, too. He came off as a cocky, arrogant jerk when he was first introduced, but that was mostly due to Milo. ANYBODY that will willingly let Jack Bauer knock them out is OK in my book!

With 3 episodes left (and a few more shocking revelations in store), I can't wait to see how they wrap up this season.
