If I can’t find anything I’ll read the episode guides at the original site I guess. [Here](http://www.tv.com/24/show/3866/episode_guide.html&season=4) Annoying site design, but thorough. ---

I do find it interesting how quickly CTU and Audrey believed that Jack had killed Palmer. Particularly when he’s killed quite a few people in the past, and been willing to die himself, all to save Palmer. ---

Well dammit. The networks cutting back and forth between cable in Canada and the US meant that I lost the last minute. Can anyone tell me what happened? ---

Never mind. They just cut back to the American network again, and I saw it. Interesting revelation of bad guy on the inside. And it’s always good to see Geraint Wyn Davies again. ---

I swear, that president looks like Nixon in profile. Oh, and at least on the Chicago Fox channel, President Palmer \*was \* still selling insurance. Apparently we can all be in good hands. ---

> [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > Yeeeeeeeah, the assassin actually thought Jack was going to take him to a hospital… Well, I think Jack was actually telling the truth… until the bad guy IDed himself as Palmer’s shooter. The moment he admitted it, I knew he was toast. > [@c-plant](#): > > Jack does Die Hard. Yeah, I was thinking that too. Why do the baddies want to hijack an airport? I mean, if it’s just for hostages, why specifically the airport? Why not… a bank? or the mall? or a high school? And where was the Russian dude landing? I don’t think that was anywhere near this airport, was it? ---
