9:00 - 10:00 PM

A new Bauer Hour...

Why did they bother giving us the recap of the President/First Lady's storyline at the top of an episode they weren't even in?

Why are the redshirts taking Audrey into custody wearing white shirts?

Jack threatens Collette: "If you lie to me, I'm going to make this the worst day of your life." You're gonna need your own spin-off series/season to show how bad your day is gonna be!

Jack then chews out Karen Hayes with the first of many lines in this episode that totally have an unspoken "bitch" at the end of them: "Audrey Raines is a senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense, James Heller, who happens to be her father! If you're wrong, he is gonna eat you alive!" (Bitch!)

Meanwhile, in some anonymous dark alley... Bierko finally decides to get off his ass after 8 hours or so of staring at monitors and do something!

I'm totally staying at the River Hotel in Pikesville, Maryland. Because the person they have manning the desk at 12:05 in the morning (East Coast time) is able to field a phone call from Chloe, ID two people, and send phone bills and room service receipts all in about four minutes. Now that's some on-the-ball service.

Enter new girl. She's named Shari. Granted, the spelling is different from the other Sherry we've known on 24, but seriously... don't trust her!

More people have been strangled against the wall of that interrogation room than I care to count.

I think the real reason this guy is all so pissed off at Shari is not because of the sexual harassment thing, but because she usurped the work station he'd already usurped that used to belong to Edgar.

That is some of the worst rear screen projection behind Christopher Henderson that I've seen on television in years.

Pierce is going back out "into the field!" Man, he's having quite a season/day.

Jack: "You're getting ready to interrogate Audrey Raines when you should be interrogating Collette Stenger because she still has information that we don't have!" (Bitch!)

Anonymous gas plant security guard: "I'm gonna need to call this in." Hey, my phone's dead.... oh wait, that's me!

Bierko to plant manager: "Can you take us to the control room?" Gee, didn't he just buy blueprints to the place an hour ago? Can't he take himself? Come to think of it... wait a minute. They could have just found the front door themselves. They pressured the poor manager into showing them the control room. They could have pressured some other poor sap to show them where the big tank room was. That's all. What the hell were the blueprints for?

Jack's best line of the season: "He wanted you to get inside my head. And it worked. And now I'm... upset."

Torture has tried to ruin Audrey and Jack's relationship before. It didn't work that time either. Their bond is stronger than torture.

Shari thinks Buchanan gave her the "bad touch." Yeah, see, I told you not to trust her.

Pierce has now been shot at by a rocket launcher twice in one day!

Why did Jack and Curtis (and team) stop to take off their silencers? So that we'd have more satisfying noise during the upcoming action sequence, I assume.

Well, looks like after about 10 weeks, we're finally done with the nerve gas storyline.

Searing jets of flame vs. Jack Bauer. You know who my money's on.

Did anyone else notice that the bad guys were able to change into the Police uniforms in like 4 seconds?

My biggest problem with this episode was the delivery of the natural gas. Even without the nerve gas, natural gas seeping into your home is a BAD thing. Unless you do what? Burn it! Your furnance, your hot water heater, whatever. How is Jack stopping the nerve gas from being delivered? He's burning it! I don't see much happening in the way of casualties. Were the terrorists planning on blowing out 200,000 pilot lights?

Jack needs to say bitch way more.

it sure looked easy to put one little cube of C4 onto a pipe and totally blow up that place. and also considering how effortlessly the terrorists got in there.... not a good recruiting ad for working at a gas plant.

Jack is trying to one-up Pierce. "two rocket launchers? how about I blow up another building! and a really big multi-chain-reaction dramatic escape! I'll name that tune in 30 seconds." okay Jack, name that tune!

bishop- I'm guessing the acid-additives would cause leaking and then casualties. kinda like a sloppy 'trek episode to make the fans fill in the technobabble gaps, but it works...
