Fucking Awesome Episode? Are you kidding? This one gets no greater than a 'pretty darn cool', but not a 'fucking great'.

Out of all the episodes this season, this one was the throw-away.

The only cool thing that happened was Jack saving the entire mall.

Nah, would have been a better episdoe if he did not.

last weeks was the throwaway, this weeks was way better (assuming the standard is Ep.7), I have high expectations for next week

Todays episode would have been better if they actually fully released the gas, the writers always pussy out with these things

Spoiler

except the virus in s3

 

[whytemyke]

What the fuck happened to Jack that we know? This is a guy who let Paul Reines die on the table just to get information about something, and all of a sudden he had a pussy-ass panic attack at the thought of a few hundred people dying? Fuck you, Jack Bauer! You're a hypocrite.

Spoiler

don't hurt me.

Anyways, overall, a good episode. I'm waiting for novick to walk through the doors of CTU, then start laughing at everyone as the Vince McMahon theme song starts playing.

 

[Laguna X]

I liked the episode. But the real showdown will be Jack vs Rudy. There is no way this working relationship can keep going on like this.

Nah. Jack was able to work under Chapelle for a little while and he's a lot worse than the hobbit. Of course, Ryan was forced into early retirement, but who cares about details.

 

[Escape Goat]

Jack saved the little girl!!!!

 

[Laguna X]

Jack saved the little girl!!!!

Yup... and unlike the little girl he saved in last week's episode, this one probably doesn't have the clap.

:lol

 

[Patrick Klepek]

I'm glad every episode isn't so explosive. There's no way the season could keep up the pace it was moving at the start without fucking itself over like in Season 4. I'm so glad they're handling everything the way they are. It'll pay off, I'm sure.

 

[Matlock]

From the preview, it looks like someone is pissed

Spoiler

that that gas ain't gonna kill the russians. Nathanson, you sly dog.

 

[cubanb]

I dont get why rudy and bill made that decision.

At that point they knew that the terrorists needed the remote to detonate the canisters. They knew hundreds would die if they were able to detonate it. Why not apprehend them before the gas goes off knowing they still need a remote to detonate it. I know later the terrorists figured out how to set it off without the remote, but rudy and bill didnt know it at that point

 

[VPhys]

Filler episode.

The best part was when Jacked walked through the mall with the mask on :lol , and people only running after seeing the guy with a gask mask.

 

[Cold-Steel]

I call this a better-than-last-week's-mediocre episode.

Mostly filler, great stuff with Jack going through the mall with the mask on and people freaking out. He said the "DAMMIT!" line, which is great.

Intresting move making Walt out to be a hero. Really moving moment when Martha Logan decides to not go through with telling his wife the truth.

 

[effzee]

I love to watch Logan squirm. That guy is a good actor.

yeah perfect casting. he plays the part very well.

 

[Drakken]

"We're releasing a deadly gas and we've got a guy locked inside the building. You should go and shoot him, just to make sure. Rumor is that the first time doesn't usually take with this guy. But you better get really close. Just to be sure, of course."

Heh heh, I had the same thought.

I'd say this was a solid episode, certainly better than last week's.

 

[Diablos]

I still can't get over how much of a puss President Logan is. Grow a pair. Jesus.

 

[∀ Narayan]

oh man. so anyone that's seen the trailer for tonite knows exactly how it's gonna end.

Spoiler

Samwise: JACK! You let them set it off! And bring me back some taters!
Jack: WHAT?!
Samwise: PO-TAY-TOES! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!
Jack: ...
Samwise: ...
Jack: *cough*
*episode ends with the 24 clicking sounds*

:lol And here I thought I was the only one that called him

Spoiler

Kim Raver's pretty hot.

 

[Sean]

Pretty cool episode. A few things I noticed:

1) The Evelyn/Martha conversation has me thinking that Walt didn't really commit suicide and someone killed him instead (like Jamie in season 1). I didn't even think of it until Evelyn brought it up.

2) Another awesome kill. Jack snapping that guys neck in leg scissors while handcuffed to a table! And then running around the mall with a gas mask and a gun scaring the shit out of everyone :lol

3) Curtis was eager to kick some ass. First he wanted to intercept the canister, and then later on when Buchanan says 'move in' he replies "About time!"

Yeah, it's getting to be really annoying. My interest-level in this show is fading, and that upsets me because I was really looking forward to this season. All the characters are becoming paper cut-outs. They used to have more depth. What happened?

 

[eternalsunshine]

Why didn't Curtis or someone just go in and shut off the ventilation before the bomb went off?

 

[DarienA]

Why didn't Curtis or someone just go in and shut off the ventilation before the bomb went off?

Well in the real world the answer would be:

Because ventilation systems especially ones as large as the mall one make lots of NOISE... and the terrorists would have realized when they went in and folks were sweating and or they got to the shaft and heard no noise that the thing wasn't working/on.

 

[eternalsunshine]

Sounds reasonable. This episode was a definite improvement over last week's, but that one detail left me puzzled last night.

 

[Diablos]

They do keep falling back on his weakness to make a decision that is the right thing. You can paint him as a coward, but you don't need to be so redundant about it, but it seems like that's the path they took with his character. Like how they totally covered up what happened to Cummings. I think the show would've been more interesting if the country really knew about it, who knows, they could've had it spark riots and we all could've watched Logan squrim to regain some confidence again. Instead, he just does the same thing. I'm still pretty impressed with this season, but they need to stop making Logan screw things up.

 

[Escape Goat]

Logan wasn't meant to be President. He was thrust into the position and hes proven he is incapable of leading in times of crisis. I think thats why they killed Palmer was to prevent Logan from calling him again to fill in for him.

Anyone else notice last season when Air Force One was shot down. Palmer asked why Logan wasn't operating from the West wing? He chose to hide in the bunker! :lol

 

[DarienA]

I have two questions which I don't believe have been answered yet.

1. Has it been identified who was storing the toxin at the airport?
2. Have we been told how someone outside of the small circle of folks knew that Jack was still alive?

In the season preview Chloe says someone hacked into her computer and grabbed Jack's autopsy report or something to that effect...


even though tony said clearly at the end of S4 there would be no autopsy... oh well...

Yep

"Tony: All right, Chloe, I need you to run interference with the local coroner until we can switch bodies. Make sure their database synchs up with Jack’s information.

Chloe: That won’t cover the autopsy.

Tony: There’s not gonna be an autopsy. They wanted Jack dead. Now he’s dead."

 

[Patrick Klepek]

THERE'S A MOLE!!!!!!

Has to be based on the evidence presented in the Season 5 prequel.

 

[Darko]

I have two questions which I don't believe have been answered yet.

1. Has it been identified who was storing the toxin at the airport?

The Government, that explains why Walt knew the location of the Gas and why its as lethal as it is (Military grade)

Walt: Through a proxy, I leaked information to the terrorists about where the nerve gas was hidden.

Jack: Mr Cummings is guilty of conspiring with terrorists. He facilitated the theft of a military grade nerve gas and today is responsible for the death of at least three people. Including David Palmer.
