> [@MaxTheVool](#): > > I usually really love it when 24 goes kinda over the top, but the whole body-armor-and-mask thing seemed kinda silly to me. Silly? Yes. _Completely and hilariously awesome?_ Also yes. 😃 Though it is a little annoying that they seem to be playing up the knife wound this time around. Renee stabbed him right in the SIM card holder and it was barely a few minutes’ inconvenience. Now this Russian guy gives him a little poke through his leather jacket and we’re supposed to be all worried? ---

Jack on a rampage for the end of the series! This is just like how I hoped the series would end! ---

Seriously, Logan’s freakout when Jack was stalking down the ramp in the tunnel was great, but what really took it beautifully over the top for me was when the Secret Service agent next to the car shot Jack, who, while wearing a mask, mind you, twitched just like Michael Myers and kept coming. ---

In the defense of the armors, they do actually have facemask armor that will stop a 9mm. > **[interamer.com](http://www.interamer.com/ballistic-face-mask.htm)** ---

I thought this episode was awesome. Badass Darth Bauer had me laughing maniacally. Way over the top? Yes, but awesome over the top…the carnage of the Russian room, everything in this episode rocked. If this were a middle season or something, it would be way stupid, but in the final run, it’s just fantastic. As to how Jack’s going to get out of it? I don’t think there’s any chance of that now…he’s not living through this day. ---

Jack’s totally gone Punisher. And he even has a Microchip helping him out. ---

OK, I just caught this episode on Hulu. Darth Bauer (and Logan’s squealing) was just too much! I loved every second of it. But one thing has me confused. The thumbnail for this episode on Hulu is Chloe bursting through a door in a white room with gun drawn. Did I miss that part in the episde? Or is Hulu cowering before the awesomeness that is Jack. ---

I don’t recall any brandishing of weaponry by Chloe in this episode either, JB. ---

Didn’t Chloe just carry a gun with her to give to Cole when she got him released from holding? Maybe that’s the gun bit. ---

Just looked at the Hulu thumbnail JB referred to. Nope – don’t remember anything like that either. ---
