Yeah, he's got a creepy Children of the Corn thing going on.

I'm really having a hard time trying to work out the point of this Rita bimbo. If she dosn't have an important role to play soon then I think she was quite a pointless character overall, but wait for it ...

... What if she was actually an undercover agent? Think about it, that would actually be quite a good twist, as there hasn't been anything, as far as i'm aware, that could prove otherwise :D

Are you talking about Marilyn, Graem's wife?

He's talking about Rita. The girl that's with the wealthy guy working with the terrorists.

I figured he kept her in the dark on what he did. But he pulls over Morris and uses her to help cuff him? Seemed a bit out of place or out of character from what I'd seen thus far. But we'll see!

How he kept an eye on her (like stopping her from going to the snack machine) made me think she didn't know very much and he didn't trust her too well.

Awesome episode, would been better they had this back to back with last weeks. Looking forward to next weeks.

I'm glad they made Jack kinda crazy, I thought it was really bad how the two years in china seemed to have little affect on him.

I agree I dont get the Rita girl, she seemed completely innocent to what was going on, then she cuffs o'brian up like she obviously knows what she is doing. Wait and see if she is actually undercover, but which organisation??

lastly I'm putting my money on the second nuke going off.

I'm curious how they'll get Morris to play ball. Maybe he'll make a killswitch for the detonator or something of the sort, and take advantage of it later? Either way, I'm sure he knows they'll kill him once they have all the nukes armed.

Yes I listened to it, and as Graem said, he proved he could take the pain by withstanding Jack's torture for as long as he did (only finally giving Jack some unrelated information to get him off his back). So if he could do that, that's obviously not the main reason why his dad killed him, meaning there is some other reason why he wanted him dead. That's what I got from it, anyway.

I wouldn't put it past 24 to leave the whole reason behind this set of villains (Jack's family) as "We needed to protect the company, dammit!"

It's been just as lame last season, with "we need to do it for America / Oil interests, etc..." right from the get-go, with no additional motive.

.....Is another motive really necessary?

I do hope they're not going to pull a "You destroyed our company with your operation in Kosovo" or something related to Kosovo this time.

But seriously, I'm curious as why Graem wants to kill Jack. Cause like he says, it isn't the first time he tries to kill him. If this is personal, I'm going to be so mad....

Anyways, it's beggining to get quite confusing as to who is behind all this and what's the point of all this. I can't wait to see the next week episode.

Two hours of Bauers tonight. It's a little earlier this year, but I remember almost dying on my trying to make it back for this epic event. There should be no such issue this time... hopefully. *knocks on wooden desk*

Oh, right, thanks for reminding me. Normally I DVR Prison Break, watch 24, then watch the DVR of Heroes, but I'm going to have to rearrange things tonight. I would have been really pissed off to turn on hour 2 of Bauer only to realize I hadn't watched the 1st hour.

Oof. It's an hour earlier, to boot =o I need to get my studying done early...

I officially love Palmer, mainly because he pissed in Lennox's conrnflakes which really gives me the warm fuzzy-wuzzies.

Disappointed that Morris will most likely snuff it. I quite like him.

Yeh same here, im enjoying the british charm

24 has rebranded "dun dun dun."

MILO FUCKING OWNS.

Looks like Kim Jr. just can't stay out of trouble.

Also, I like how Jack no longer needs doors.

I rather liked Milo's getaway. Refreshing that he isn't nervous under fire like Chloe, despite being a techie =p

Still, kinda mad at Graem's wife (whatever her name is) for not telling Jack what happened on the phone. Not like Jack would go "BLOL FUK NO. SCREW MY NEPHEW/POSSIBLE SON :mad:" Good to see that he gets pissed at her. And Morris.

I'm rather pleased that it's not pussyfooted around that Morris made the triggers. "O u were torcher'd. Who could blame u bro <3"

Laughin' about "Kim Jr" right now ='D

Note to self: stop watching the previews. =/

But reiterating all the major points of the episode, already stated:

• Jack with shotgun :tpg:
• Jack doesn't believe in doors, just like me
• WTF Morris
• Milo's beast
• o kim jr u
• I like how the fancy satellite tracking conveniently goes down to make things more intense.
• I like how NSA decides to stop tracking cell phone calls conveniently as well.
• Don't crumple the resignation sheet. Shred dat. =/
• "Dammit!"

Yeah, I shouldn't watch previews either =( Still waiting on Audrey to kick back in. But maybe Jack's immediate family is causing more than enough drama for most folks.

Awesome episodes. Jack owned. Palmer owned. Milo owned. Some pretty good twists. All in all, a pretty good two hours.

Nice to see Fayed actually do something, since he's pretty much done nothing since the nuke went off three hours ago. But with papa Bauer and Gredenko now doing the evil deeds, it looks like Fayed might be on the backburner again.

Interestingly, while not addressed in the show, Eric Balfour says that Milo has gotten some field training. I'll just post the excerpt from the interview featured in the lastest issue of the 24 Magazine.

So take that as you want. No matter what, the scene was still fucking awesome, and I hope he gets to do some more stuff like that later in the season.

http://www.fox.com/24/profiles/mp.htm It doesn't say so there, but I imagine any government agent no matter what they do, recieves a bit of field training.
