> [@ProfessorX](#): > > I actually thought this was going to happen as well now that Jack is dying she was going to finally give in. There’s a ton of tension between them and it’s been building for so long. It’s not real obvious where her feelings towards him are coming from. They’ve only spent two or three hours together, most of which was spent quibbling over whether torture was justified or not. Love at first sight, I guess. > [@Monstre](#): > > So, miraculous cure, or antidote will be available, just in time? Or will Jack go through season 8 with a twitch? (I’m pretty sure Keifer Sutherland has contracted for at least through season 8…) Or will he be in that 5% Michelle-Dessler-style immune to this particular virus-bio-nasty-thingy portion of the populace? Personal guess is that the tank he breathed in was half of the mix, and you’d need to be exposed to the other half to get a lethal reaction. ---

My personal guess is that G-d doesn’t want to piss Jack off. 🙂 ---

What I found astounding is given the history from the last 6 seasons in the “24-verse”, people still continue to run for president there. It’s not an office with a high life expectancy. Get elected president in the 24-verse, and you and/or your family will not survive your 4-year term… ---

If Jack Bauer had gone on the mission, he would have tortured the real location of the bioweapons out of Seaton before the last commercial break… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/24-season-7-episode-16-11-00pm-12-00am/491361.md?page=1)
