My guess would be that it would have taken to long to redirect the sat. to scan it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Did not see any of that coming.

But how the hell did Fayed kill an entire truck of armed men, especially with the gun tucked away in his pocket. All of the CTU agents had their guns cocked and ready. Oh well.

What the hell do the Chinese want? The nukes? Are we going to finally find out what exactly had to be done for China's cooperation in Jack's release?

I think it was because they only had fake bullets in there guns and Fayed had real bullets in his gun.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I also really liked the fight between Fayed and Jack, it was very gritty. BTW, does anyone know why jack killed Fayed? He could have just restrained him for arrest which I expected him to do.

Why take any chances that he could escape with the nukes or just get away. Besides after what he pulled at the bigging of that day jack just wanted some revenge.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

man this show is getting predicatable

1 stolen cell phone and 1 text message later everything would have been set. If jack can just snag a car with a fully charged cell phone right after he escaped from fayed then so can he.

There's 24 chapters in each book, obviously, but sometimes a chapter will go from like 9:05pm to 9:55pm without anything really happening, and then the stuff that happens in that last five minutes couldn't even happen in five minutes in real time. Granted, it's a book, so it's obviously not going to be in real time, but they could have at least try to make it correspond to how it would be if it was.

Well, there are a few more problems as well. Some of the stuff in the books can be a little contradictory to the show sometimes (i.e. one of the books says Richard Walsh recruited Jack into CTU, even though the show said Christopher Henderson did), and it can be annoying sometimes (like I'm really supposed to believe Edgar was working at CTU since before Season 1). Also, the series has two different writers, and its obvious sometimes (one author usually writes more action-oriented stories, while the other usually writes more politically-oriented). This isn't that much of a problem, until they start introducing their own original characters. Basically, they'll be there in one book, then they'll be gone in the next, then they'll be back again in the next, since each author writes every other book. It would just make more sense if they tried to work together and make a cohseive universe.

As for Milo, I think he's been in every book so far, but his role varies. Most of the time he's just at CTU along with Jamie (she's so much better in book form, since you don't actually have to see her ugly face) doing the analyst thing, but in one of the books he actually went out and did some field work. Overall though, I think he's more awesome in the books than he is on the show, definitely better than he was in Season 6 anyway.

But yeah, they're only about $6 or so each, so you get your money's worth from them. It's also pretty cool to get some insight into some Season 1 characters that didn't come back, like Richard walsh and Teri Bauer, so that's a plus. For the most part, they are in chronological order, so you should start with the first book (Operation Hell Gate) if you do want to start reading the series.

my fave season was allways season 2 so whats the book of that one like (if they made 1

I was speaking idiomatically.

Maybe he chose not to run again?

How ya doing, buddy?
