See, I’m really not getting this sentiment… to me she looks like the Grail Knight ([or “Chevalier du Graal”](http://www.thelin.net/laurent/cinema/films/tt0097576.html)) from _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_.

That’s exactly what he did. And it was stupid.

At least try something -

I’ve figured out the hood thing.  
It’s an invisibility cloak.

I thought much the same thing. He must have borrowed it from samwise.

You’re missing you important detail. Jack never goes anywhere more than 15 minutes from CTU.

I’m surprised so many of you seem to be taking for granted that Heller is dead. I think we all know that in the 24-verse no one is dead until we see the body. I’m practically certain that he rolled out the drivers side door just as the car headed towards the cliff or managed to slip out underwater and evade the chopper. He _was_ driving a kickass BMW 7-series with every airbag system known to man. I’m convinced Heller is going to be back.

Gonna be a hell of a dry cleaning bill.

Pretty much…residual “wanna see that naked” from when she was a little bit younger.

Yeah, I caught that too (and rolled my eyes a bit). Maybe he’s like Cypher, from the Matrix, who looks at the code and all he sees now is blonde… brunette… guy working out in the gym, glistening with sweat…

Maybe Buchanan stuck him in the Servants’ Quarters…  
(I’m going straight to Hell for that one… ;))

Nah – Jack just switched on his S.E.P. field.

And now, Mr. President, I want you to get the world leaders on the phone. Tell them that I will shoot this giant “laser” at the Earth unless they pay me… _dramatic pause_ ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! Muhahahhahhaha! Muhahahhha!

I, too, expect him to pop back up again.

If I recall correctly, 24 has three more seasons ahead. I think it’s posible that we could see President Heller eventually.

Jack vs. President Heller: the irresistable force meets the immovable object.  
Sweet.

Heh - I made this joke to my wife during the show! Bauer’s cloak of invisibility…
