Why was Saunders, in leg chains, brought down to center of all CTU activity to look at photo’s??? Didn’t they have a laptop available or a remote terminal for him to use?
Why would ANY company allow someone (Gael’s wife in this case), into the innards of the company to pack up his belongings? Particularly CTU with a very important prisoner inside? Sheese. And of course, she not only manages to find a gun lying around the office, BUT the guard also doesn’t see her put it in the box. Then, no one checks the box before she carries it out, this being a high security government office! Finally, she manages to walk past Saunders, pull the gun out and get off two accurate shots. CTU screws up YET AGAIN!
Car chase! Malibu vs. SUV. How plebeian! Where’s Don Johnson when you need him? And then they have to go and use the standard TV/Movie device where the chase car gets cut off by the truck or piece of construction equipment. Puh-leeze, that was really, really cheap.
Chase needs more martial arts training. Not only didn’t he seem to know how to fight when down on the floor but this is THE CRIMINAL. I mean, go for his throat or eyes, rip off his ear.
And we thought the F18 sequence was great! I think Jack amputating Chase’s hand was a lot hell of a lot better! But I knew that was what was going to happen once he locked that thing on his wrist. Will they be able to reattach it? Does anyone care?
Palmer calls to congratulate Jack. Doesn’t say much except he has decided not to run and wants to become Jack’s friend when he becomes a civilian? I hope he signs a check for a few million dollars tax free for Jack before he goes.
So what happened to Jane?
Jack does a poor job of crying at the end. Was this meant to show that he is actually human?
This whole episode was completely predictable and the last 15 minutes of wrap-up was just too anti-climatic for my tastes. Did they let the 2nd string writers finish this up?
24 will be back next January on Monday’s at 9:00PM.
