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

He has the Jack Sack.
And a large Axe.
:slight_smile:

Wow. Kim’s actually talking Jack into staying. Didn’t see that coming. I thought Jack was going to say, “I have to stay for a while” and she was going to be pissed.

Kim’s grown up. Maybe she’s learned how to avoid cougar traps now, too.

And Jack waltzes back in and starts giving orders. HAHAHA! The New CTU Overlord is gonna be pissed!

Worse, they talk to each other in English.

“If the price of peace is my life, so be it.”

“Mr. President, we have done everything we can to protect you…including getting you this red shirt to wear for safety.”
I’ll warrant Agent Starbuck is a Cylon.

“I’m about to get married…to a guy named Apollo.”

It looks like Chloe will be smokingly hot during Day 8.

Maybe he should have just hailed a cab. The cabbie probably wouldn’t talk, or care, as long as his informant didn’t bleed on the seat too much.

When she was applying for her position at the New CTU, I wonder if any of Chloe’s references happened to mention that “sometimes she violates orders and protocol to hack into her co-worker’s systems to help rogue agents”. Surely one of her former employers knew this by now.

Jack is looking for a BFG.

Yeah, “leave my wife alone”. As soon as you make the call, you’re both dead, moron.

He just has to stall until Jack gets there.

As long as Jack doesn’t tell her, “Stay with me!” things are going to be ok…That’s worse than marrying a Cartwright.

wonder if we’ll see Tony again this season – or find out where he is at this point.

I love how Jack only just now walked in as a visitor to CTU, and he’s already gone rogue. That has to be some kind of record, even for him.

WTF to the main evil guy/NYC cop-mole-impersonator changing his accent from regularJoecopbuddy to eeevil terrorist just as he got serious giving orders to his hostage in the last few minutes?

I think it’s beyond amusing – I might catch this season. Neither episode felt like the dull, unironic soap opera of the past season (or two). Hitting their stride, maybe.

So, Agent Starbuck AKA “Dana Walsh” AKA “Jenny” doesn’t appear to be a mole per se, but she apparently DID manage to get hired at a Top Security intelligence/security agency with a totally fictional identity.

Way to go, CTU Human Resources Department! It’s nice to know that, whatever, happens, there are some things that are constant and unchanging in this world.

Makes me want to send in my resume to CTU HR. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t hire me. On the other hand, the life expectancy of CTU agents not named “Jack Bauer” or “Chloe O’Brian” isn’t really stellar.

Might not be their fault. For all you know, she was part of a witness protection program. This doesn’t necessarily mean that she was guilty of a crime, though she obviously does have something to hide.

No, what happened is that she went to the Korean War and then was injured in an explosion. When she came to, she assumed the identity of another woman that was nearby at the time and died, abandoning her old life and later becoming an executive at Sterling-Cooper.

She’s a Cylon plant.

Which ones do Cylons favor? Ferns? Hibiscus? Begonias?

Nightshade, Belladonna, Hemlock, that sort of thing.

Jack: “I hate this place.”

Best line of the episode.
