24: Season 8: Episodes 1-2 (4:00pm - 6:00pm) Season Premiere!

Chole vs. Starbuck.
I hope they mud wrestle…

“You’re lucky I’m retired.” Nice…

“Percussive Maintenance” – I need to remember that term

Oooh… Starbuck to Chloe: “No need to be shy about asking for help.” hahaha!

“Who is Jack Bauer?” Nice…

and Jack emerges from the building with the Jack Sack.

And Horace Goodspeed has cut his hair, grown an accent, gotten off the island, and seems to be in charge of some bad guys now.

I’ll think about it, Thank you.
If you hear any loud noises, let me know.

Jack is talking on the phone instead of watching for bad guys. Proof that becoming a grandparent turns your brain to mush.
“Nothing’s wrong. Nobody knows you are a Cylon.”

Wow – so the First Family now consists of the First Ex-Husband and the First Jailbird.

Chloe’s having trouble learning a new system? I thought that computer systems just re-configured to her, out of fear.

“I am sorry you had to see that. Now I will have to kill you.”

And naturally, the well-intentioned cops get taken down.

Oh YES!

Jack the Axe.

Is Hassan’s wife going to turn out to be like Sherry Palmer?

Jack had an axe to grind with the shooters!! woohoo!

And Horace has a rocket launcher!

Jack: “I AXED you a question! Who’s trying to kill Hassan?!!”

Does Jack’s SIL know that Jack cut off the hand of one of Kim’s boyfriends?
And what happened to him?

Chase? I think he’s working in Hand-Puppet Monologue Theatre now.

Misdirection – I’m thinking it won’t be Meredith, although in that case I’m not sure what that little shady-sounding phone call at the end of the first hour was about. Maybe the “person close to Hassan” is the disgruntled wife.

I’m going to guess that Disgruntled Wife is trying to frame Meredith Reed with the whole IP address thing – revenge for being her hubby’s mistress.

I think Meredith was set up by the bad guys. Remember, plots within plots.

Was she the actress who played a terrorist’s wife a few seasons ago?
Shot of the UN building reminds me of the Man from UNCLE. :slight_smile:

It is against Islamic law to marry a woman who has less hair than your brother.

The safest way to transport a bleeding informant that the bad guys are looking for is on foot through city streets and back alleys? Really Jack.

Wow, the brother is the betrayer. What’s in it for him? Does he plan for power in his country to fall to him? Will he do away with the treaty and go back to making nukes? Is this foreign country supposed to be reminiscent of Iran?

Again, in the 24-verse, nobody from the middle east ever says the name of their own country. Hassan’s meeting at the start with the Pres – it was always “my country” and “your country”…

“Whoever this is, I told you to stop calling me.”

Nope. Here’s her page on IMDB

But even better, check out IMDB’s pics on Hassan’s daughter! Yowza!


Jack: “I hate this place!” :slight_smile:
