Grrrrr. Some-kind-of cable box hiccup. Episode didn't/isn't record/ing. Have to catch OnDemand tomorrow, I guess.
Best 30 minutes of 24 ever.

Hey, I called it (or at least part).
So what's up for the rest of the season???
Did he steal Jack's manbag?
Starks don't have good luck with windows. At least she didn't lose her head.

Looks like that weaselly guy Chloe has been working with will end up being the ultimate baddie this season. I wonder what he has in mind when he gets his hands on the override, I sure as hell can't wait to find out though
Also, I finished up 24 earlier this evening. My opinion I expressed above still stands, definitely the weakest of the four seasons I have seen so far, but still had some truly stand out moments. Nothing on the level of tonight's new episode though.
I still think there should have been a Silent Clock last week. The show kind of tipped it's hand for this week's episode but just imagine a Silent Clock and then everyone thinks Heller's dead. We see the twist and I think the scene could have been even more poignant.
Jack was badass in this episode. I was entertained by the drone chase scene, but tonight's first half hour might have been better because it was just non-stop Jack and Kate kicking ass and taking names. This season really is turning into maybe 24's best season yet, and after the final year I was ready to move on from this show. I haven't been entertained by 24 since Season 5, which if I recall was the President Logan year.
Did not see the Chloe thing coming. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Using Tropic Thunder terminology, Season 4 is where the show went full retard and never got back.I am now 4 episodes away from the end of Season 4. I have to say it's getting better, especially with the reintroduction of David Palmer, but I still have big issues with what's happened so far:
-The Secret Service showing up in the middle of an operation and ruining it so Marwan can escape.
-Edgar (and everyone else at CTU) ignoring a flagged Police Report that could potentially have lead them to the pilot a lot sooner than they did.
-Ronny (I mistakenly called him Ryan above) getting gunned down by a suspect because he doesn't know how to stay in cover (again, I get that they did this to elevate Jack, but they could have done it a different way).
Basically what I'm having problems with is the forced drama that is present this season. The character's are acting in weird ways (sometimes really dumb ways) in order to steer the plot. This may have been true for past seasons, but the writing at least did a much better job of disguising that fact.
Oh, and as much problems as I've had so far...Chloe with an assault rifle nearly made up for it

Cross told Navarro that he was just a 'middle man' so there maybe someone else.
Yes Jack is badass, still my favorite is when Jack attacks Logan's Limo here from Season 8:

How is it that CTU, this uber-powerful agency, only ever has ONE guy guarding the door?? 
For a super-secret-powerful anti-terrorist agency, their security always seem to SUCK.

That's true, I had forgotten about that. Thank's for pointing it out.
When Cross is just a Middle Man - who can be the Big Bad... well, for these last 2-3 episodes?
I loved the first 30 Minutes - Gravitas! The NO Silent Clock revealed, all bad thrown out of the window.
Then the silliness came back. Bauer going after Navarro without shouting any "NAVARRO'S GOT THE DEVICE, DAMMIT!" I fear for Jack's safety AND for his Redemption, he already got... - Oh, and the Russians are still on him...
If this ends well for Jack - then this might be one the best seasons ever!
If not - F$CK Season 9!

Yeah I thought it was a little silly too that Jack didn't call for back up when Navarro was making off with the override, but than I figured maybe Jack thought because of his current history, they might not have believed him.
Real world explanation? Just the writers of 24 making it necessary for Navarro to escape.

I was shit!!, last night when Jack threw Margo out the window. Holy crap! No Way! I did not see that coming, so what was Jack's kill count last night 6?

Well, we don't know that CTU no longer exists, just that it doesn't exist/isn't being featured in London. CTU was back in operation in S8 of the series.
