Well, Jack doesn't know any more than we do what happened to Logan. Remember, 2 years in Chinese prison, straight after Logan gets taken away?

I guess my question at this point should be, "Assuming the former President has helpful information, why didn't Phil go to Logan?"

Perhaps the word "humanity" isn't the precise word, but all action isn't a good thing either. It's good to see internal conflict, and friction which can't be quelled by gunshots. Each season may only be a day, but it's a little cold to have a recourring characher with 0 back story.

Yes, internal conflict is good. I've seen very little of that in regards to the Bauer family. It is good to have friction. CTU stories thrive on it. But must Jack's family bring nothing but friction? Must his brother and father be terrorists? Jack has some back story, but this stuff with his "family" isn't really adding anything to his character.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, but it wasn't like they came up and put him in cuffs, they just took him away, which to the public wouldn't appear abnormal

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Great, now on top of everything else, I have to worry about Chloe busting in while I'm in the restroom.

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

So, what I learned from today's episode: Victoria's Secret is the sexiest lingerie in the world. They also keep reinventing the bra. I can only conclude that women keep inventing new boobs.

Jack pretty much took hour to dress up. Probably went to the bathroom too. I've never seen this before. What the hell?

K, DVR'd Heroes time.

Yeah, this was the biggest "setup for another episode, nothing happens in this one" ever.

Everything that happened in this episode was already summarized in the previous episode's "next week" preview.

Speaking of previews, next week doesn't look too exciting either.

I was speaking idiomatically.

10-ft blast radius my ass.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

He forgot to carry a "one" when he was pulling together the radius =o

Nothing exciting. Not much Jack, a lot of the politicians. I'd prefer more Jack... And next week looks like it'll deliver. Which is nifty :3

FELIPE NO

Seriously.

I'm not saying less focus on Jack is necessarily a bad thing, but if that focus is put on some crappy Morris plotline that needed to end two episodes ago, it is. Even the Palmer stuff, which honestly wasn't that much better, was at least was needed plotwise. More and more I'm seeing the introduction of Morris as a bad thing. At least the Jack/Logan stuff was awesome, what little of it there was.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

My main question is will Lennox die? He should've known that his assisstant was going to turn on him. Anyway, I was hoping to see a bit more of Jack in this episode. But at least we'll get to see if he cuts off one of the Russian Consolate's fingers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

11th hour - Zzzzzzzz

58th minute - KABOOM!

man i waited 45minutes for that!!

They should of had Jack shave his beard off in this episode, would of made alot more sense!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At this point, I am about 95% sure that I will either not watch next season at all, and just stop watching the show completely(which I don't want to have to do, but I just might), or I will just not watch next season at all on tv, and just watch it all at one time on Blu-ray/HD-dvd(no dvd, because I want High Def), when it is released.

I will continue watching this season until it is over since I already invested this much time, but after that, I'm not sure at this point. I'm just bored by this show now. Almost everything is predictable, and I hate literally every single character on this show now, including Jack Bauer. Words can barely describe how much I used to love this show, but at this point, I wish they would just have a series finale already, and put me out of my misery.

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

Yeah this was like really boring. It's not getting anywhere. I didn't learn anything that was important.

I can imagine the writers being around a table and pitching ideas:

-Should we kill a character to make it seem more dramatic than it is? (Cause a major character always dies/disappears in each season)
-Should we bring back a character from a previous season which was involved in the plot but it wasn't completely explained?
-Should we mix a Kosovo related story and tie it with russians, middle-east bad guys and corrupt americans?
-People liked Kim, shoudl we call her back and do something like the cougar scene?
-Let's get Bauer's family implicated in all this since Kim disappeared with Barry...
-As always, let's create division among CTU members (read here "couple") about someone saying someone else isn't fit for the operation because of what they just went through?

Ah....I could go on like this...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I admit, I figured Jack would've called before moving =( Oh well.

I'm curious... There's a new head to Field Ops? We'll see how this goes. He's most likely Curtis' replacement. Wonder how he'll mesh with Jack?... The replacement in S4 bashed heads with him and ended up dead later on ;3 Wonder if this guy will have more sense.

Also, how does Logan get around to visiting his wife and Aaron?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well... this is definitely not something we've seen before. No idea yet if this is war with a faction or a nation, but... wow.

FELIPE NO

This episode pretty much raised one important question for me:

Is Jack Bauer ever not on line one?

Most amazing jew boots

I gotta say, most of this episode was pretty bland. Aside from the part when Jack was trying to get the info from the Russian dude, I would almost say this was downright boring. All the political stuff was especially uninteresting, since there really are no more characters left that we know/care about.

At least next week looks good, though.

But we had the introduction of Kari Matchett. <3

She's definitely evil. I vote for her. What's her character? Lisa, right? Gotta lynch dat.

Yeah, I got a bad feeling when I first saw her. She does have an evil vibe about her.

That's because she was on Invasion and became an alien.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I never watched Invasion.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm just wondering how they'll cover up an invasion on the consulate. Perhaps approval from Moscow for the action? I don't think they'll be able to (try and) covert it up like they did with the Chinese consulate back then.

In any case, guns and action next week! Woo!

Also, my love for 24 increased since I realized how valuable their nonstop season policy is. I have to wait a month for my next episode of Heroes =/

Most amazing jew boots

Well, the VP insisted that Jack was acting on his own, but they had reason to believe that this Russian has ties to Gridenko. If they can prove it (via Jack's intel), then the Ruskies will probably back off.

Plus, Jack hasn't killed anyone. That was the huge no-no involving the Chinese consulate thing -- the consul got killed in friendly fire. Plus, any proof to justify their break-in died with the Chinese fellow they abducted.

FELIPE NO

If this episode could've been as decently timed and well-executed as the last fifteen minutes, I would've liked it a lot more, I think.
