I just want to say that it’s possible the Secretary of Defense on this show is an even bigger badass than Jack Bauer. That is all. ---

That was a kick-ass 10 minutes. I LOVED it when Driscoll told the President “No, the Marines aren’t there, but Jack Bauer is going in alone.” I had this image of Jules from Pulp Fiction saying “Shit, n\*\*\*er, why didn’t you SAY so?” ---

I didn’t want to start a whole thread on this, but can someone give me a quick answer to this 24 question? What the hell was the point of the very last scene of season 2 with the assassination attempt on Palmer with the terrorist chick from season 1 shaking his hand? I kept expecting that to come up somewhere in season 3, other than the sort of oblique references to it. But, it didn’t seem to amount to anything. Again, sorry for the hijack. I’m, for the first time ever, caught up with 24. ---

Unfortunately, you’re asking the same question that we were all asking when that happened. It really annoyed me, and still does, that they did something so dramatic and then laughed it off with “And then we caught those dudes”. Unless they plan to pick up the thread in a future season, there really WAS no point. One of my main gripes with the show. ---

I don’t know if we’ve ever seen Jack kick as much ass as he did in the first ten minutes – and that’s saying something, given the shit he’s been through! This has been an excellent season, so far. Let’s hope they can last through the mid-season doldrums. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > What the hell was the point of the very last scene of season 2 with the assassination attempt on Palmer with the terrorist chick from season 1 shaking his hand? Well, my guess is that the point was the writers changing their mind about where they wanted to take season 3. Perhaps having vague ideas at the end of season 2 but nothing solid yet, and then scrapping those ideas for others. ---
