(Joke for those of us living in the Central time zone) Tony: What the hell is this? When does this happen in the season? Jack: Now. You’re looking at now.

How many people would be willing to stab themselves in the gut, to make it look convincing? Not me. Chubby Rain only got to be in one episode. Poor Edgar, let the poor guy go home. I know this happens every season where everyone pulls a 24 hour shift with no bathroom or lunch breaks, but damn. All you Chloe fans got your wish. Now I’m gonna have to look at her sour, puckered up face for Lord knows how many episodes. Once again, the terrorists run rings around the CTU people. Prisoner exchange. Behrooz for Jack??? Marwan must really want to kill the Araz family because I don’t see how it’s worth it. Here’s what I think they’re going to try with the pilot, Opie CunninghamTry to sneak him in as part of the fighter escort shift change. ---

This might possibly go down as one of the least interesting episodes of 24 ever, IMO. Chloe is back, ready to put Edgar in his place. Is it just me, or has the dialogue for this show really taken a dive? Curtis is being wasted. How the hell did they hide that guy behind the seat? Wouldn’t he stick out into the trunk? I had a car once (cavalier) that had this option. You could pull the back seat down completely for extra storage space. There is no way you could hide a freakin’ grown man in there without him sticking out! Not to mention the fact the guy was sweating bullets the entire time. Looks like Chloe got a tan while she was out. Do you think Paul is going to make it? ---
