**FAQ Bauer (aka Thread Rules)** _1) What can be discussed in plain text, unboxed?_ A: Any events in episodes, once aired on the east coast – as well as any speculation based on these already-aired events. _2) What should I confine to spoiler boxes?_ A: Any discussion of upcoming shows that contains information from sources outside the aired material, or any speculation based on such things. This includes the “Next week on 24” previews, which some people choose not to watch. _3) What country is President Hassan from?_ A: You know, it’s that middle eastern country. One of the three countries that was implicated by the falsified Sayed Ali evidence in Season 2. Same country that his wife comes from… you know the one. * * * Previously on 24: - Chloe’s getting grief from her new bosses, so now she has an authority figure to snark at. Nice. - Agent Starbuck doesn’t want somebody from her past to tell the world she’s a Cylon named Jenny (rather than a computer expert named Dana). - Jack brings an informant to the missile firing range, impersonating Gimli on the way (“And you have MY axe!!”) Afterwards, Jack goes to the New CTU with Agent Cole in the Mystery Machine, and proceeds to go rogue about 20 minutes after getting there – at first on his own, then with the new CTU chief’s simultaneous blessing and scorn, due to a little friendly blackmail. - And President Hassan has been boffing an American girl. His brother’s not happy about it, and apparently neither is his wife. Go figure. Two more hours of the season 8 premiere week, tonight! * * * _24_, Season 8, Episodes 3-4 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM SPOILERS AHEAD!

Previews with Kevin harassing Dana. You know, Starbuck killed the Cylon that was raping her with a steak knife. It was pretty cool, and I believe she finished the steak. Let’s hope something like that happens it here. Hastings sucks, BTW. ---
