My, what a long way President Logan has come from "I hate that Jack Bauer, you pull him out of that night club where he's trying to capture The Mummy right now!" to "Please, Jack, you're my hero. Stay and save the day. I'll do anything!"
Deja vu. As with Driscoll last season, the "pain in the ass" character in charge at CTU has a flaky family member that absolutely must be dealt with in the middle of the crisis.
"Audrey, I want you to do me a favor. Call Kim and have her brought into CTU. Then sweep the building and make sure there aren't any cougars or babies around."
I like how the guy at the shop made a point of saying everyone was out on their lunch hour (every last one of them, between 1:00 and 2:00??), to cover why not a single person disturbed the terrorists for 40 minutes.
That guard at the front desk should have told the guards upstairs that everything was fine, but he was moving into a "flank two position."
Sending Spenser home, huh? You'd better hope that there isn't another high-security building that needs infiltrating in the next 17 hours.
Nice wicked smile from Edgar.
Hmmm.... guess you'll be needing a new draft of that speech, Mr. President.
Man, it took Lynn 40 minutes to get out across the street to meet his sister when he said it would take 20 minutes. What, did Faramir force him to go to Osgiliath somewhere along the way?
As if Erwich wasn't a bad enough guy, planning to release nerve gas in Los Angeles and all, now he broke his promise to that poor guy and shot him. Now we know he's evil.
Man, that poor character actor ends up dead on every TV show he gets on. Carnivale, Alias...
Tune in next week, when we see if Jack Bauer can fake a French accent on the phone with Erwich.

Osgiliath! LOL!
I'm not too keen on the way the show seems to have lost the "real time" aspect. things tend to jump around to service the plot. things like Samwise's 20-40 minute run-in with his sister Golum (hobbits is our friend...no we hates hobbits!) and the extended lunch break for the auto shop. it's like you're forced to rationalize things, like maybe some mechanics did show up but were intercepted by the terrorist guards off-screen. they still keep the pacing and timing mostly okay, but it's starting to stretch a bit.
the Erwich speech to the mechanic was great. I knew he was still gunna toast that poor guy, but it was a very convincing dialogue.
and the whole president's wife advise about how the public will forgive anything except being lied to? is it cold in here? let me get you a jacket...snap! snap! snap! maybe a comment on the real-life administration? wink wink.
again they tease me with an almost-torture. Jack actually got one hit in this time, while Curtis twisted his wrist. not good enough. they need to earn the graphic violence disclaimer.

I definitely took the "lied to" comment as criticism. They get those comments in where they can, damn Hollywood lefties! :)
Frustrated too by the apparent domestic scene for Lyn, though the sister's accomplice took his whole wallet. I hope the stolen CTU keycard will be relevant to the plot! Sounds like a useful thing to get your hands on if you're a terrorist, doesn't it?
