Wouldn’t it be more in character for Jack to riddle Miriam’s body with bullets instead?
Didn’t Lynn call his sister from his cell? Also, in the Nikita-verse, I don’t believe camera and video-phones were so common that any person could have one. Think of the things that can be photographed/loaded into a single RAZR.
We’re halfway through the day… we still haven’t even found out who found out Jack was alive, have we? They’d better not drop that thread.
When Curtis was running through the hospital with the canister, I couldn’t help thinking about the end of Season 3 when the exploding virus thingy was contained inside a teachers’ lounge refrigerator. Surely there were a multitude of large industrial fridges that would have been good enough to temporarily contain the gas. The hamster cage they threw it into inside the van looked less secure than my grandma’s deep freeze.
Now that everyone is trapped in enclosed spaces, I hope they al have a chance to break up into small groups and talk about their feelings and gain a new understanding of each other. And yeah, is fresh oxygen pumped into those rooms from a separate source?
Skammer, of course it was Jack’s new squeeze’s son. C’mon, everyone knows that! He, junkie boyfriend and Barry are part of a U.S. Patriot counter-anti-anti-counter terrorist cabal, and are the whole impetus behind the current day.
Duh!
Fearless Prediction: Boyfriend Barry will loudly and indignantly question the morality of every decision made by the team in the Situation Room.
You know who I feel bad for after this week? Aaron. The guy comes through with flying colors during the motorcade attack, and what does he get for it? The fruitcake First Lady throws herself at him in front of Mike. I’m thinking that the Secret Service is not going to be too keen on one if its agents having any romantic entanglements with the President’s wife, even if it is completely one sided. My money is on him being quickly re-assigned to the security detail of the US Ambassador to Nepal.
Well, in 24 time she’s been dead for 3 or 4 years, and in real time she’s been doead for…two or three years.
I liked her, too. Anyone who kills someone with a broken-off credit card is quite cool.
But she’s dead. Has been for some time. But I will give you one more spoiler almost as fresh…

I can’t believe more people aren’t in Full Mourning Mode for everybody’s favorite Krispy Kreme-loving computer geek. I **liked ** Edgar, dammit! My whole family liked Edgar! When he came around that corner and Chloe actually looked at him with something other than disgust, we all knew he was toast. When he finally collapsed, everyone around the TV erupted in a sorrowful, Darth-Vader-like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I think it was a real mistake to kill him off . . . he was a unique character. Where else would you see a fat, goofy-looking guy with a lisp who is actually depicted as skilled and competent (hell, he saved the country from nuclear meltdown last season) instead of the bumbling comic relief? Besides, he and Chloe made such a good team. Now it’ll be like . . . Garfield without Odie!
I want to print up t-shirts that say BRING BACK EDGAR . . . OR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE!
I think we should all say “Mith Drithcoll” quietly to ourselves every time he’s mentioned in the future. It’s the equivalent of pourin’ one out for our homie.
A country in the midst of a civil war, versus being in the same city as Jack Bauer.
He’s safer in Nepal. Book the flight to Katmandu.
If you can, watch the show in high definition. I noticed that the President of the United States had had three ear piercings, just on his left ear.
If it makes you feel any better, exposure to a real nerve agent would be far messier and there wouldn’t be anyone clawing at windows.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_gas (of course this is wiki, but it jives with everything I was taught)
And Jack can hold his breath til the cows come home, but if his skin is exposed he’s a goner. Of course this is “weaponized” nerve gas (anyone have a clue what regular or “unweaponized” nerve gas is? bug spray?), so I guess anything is possible in 24 World.
You’d also think a counter terroist unit would have some atropine laying around!
Ok, so did the Russian president believe President Indecision when he gave up the “secret” about the first lady’s mental problems as the explanation of why she was acting so nervous in the motorcade, or was there more of an attitude of “Yeah, whatever, you’re a liar, prepare for thermonuclear war.”
I don’t think the Russian President believed him at all. He just walked off while President Indecisive was still talking.
Aaron: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Right away, sir.
Well, it’s like he learned back in college, playing football – follow your blockers. Those guys ahead had to knock down the pregnant women and quadriplegics so that Curtis could get past.
Jack: Wanna bet? Let’s find out…
Sure, but I thought it went through the CTU cell repeaters so they can log it, trace it, and put in an olive.
Again, if it goes through CTU’s own cell phone equipment, they can copy/monitor/limit/shake/stir and make the cell phone in question explode if they wish. 
I’m watching it for the first time on A&E. I came on board with day 4, and might knock you overboard some dark night when you take a turn on deck…
Next week…
Jack: I’m going to have to go out there – somebody has to shut off the cannister, so that it stops spewing more gas!
Jack goes out, holds breath, runs through building. Can’t quite make it. Starts to collapse
Lynn: I can’t shut down the cannister for you… But I can carry you!
Lynn carries Jack on his back, into the dark server room
Jack approaches the cannister
Lynn: What are you waiting for? Shut it off!
Jack turns back with a mad grimace
Jack: No. It’s mine!!!
McAliister’s Sweet Tea - tastes great, not so good coming out the nostrils.
Poor Edgar.
Mith Drithcol?

In past episodes, Jack has been a pretty decent hacker. Anyone else notice how much he forgot in the last episode?
“Chloe, I need you to uplink the duct tape schematics of Weiner, Weiner, and Spastich, or MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE!”
“Jack, there’s a low-level widget inducing premodulator on the server.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s a virus on the hard drive.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s where data is stored. I’m going to have to hard boot!”
“What’s that?”
“It’s when you turn a computer off, then turn it back on with the power button.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s this round thing you push.”
