"Jack's been dark since he warned us about Fayed and we didn't listen." Bill, Jack's been "dark" since day one.Interesting that "we don't negotiate with terrorists" never even comes up this season. Wayne Palmer is very much less stubborn than his brother.
Jack Bauer drives like a man who hasn't driven in two years.
They're setting up a perimeter! Everybody take a drink!
It took Ahmed and Scott about 25 minutes to cross the street.
Packages, Items, and Components! Oh my!
Millions of people know Chloe's character flaw.
I suspect Walid's "cavity search" will be taking place off camera.
Can a grenade set off C4? If no, then what was the second explosion? If yes, then why wasn't the second explosion about 47 times bigger?
Mr. "I've Got Your Component" just sliced through a bunch of bills in the top of that box.
Uh-oh. Ray's a desperate man, don't tell.... oh, what did you do, Ray?!
Of course, two years of not speaking has not helped Jack learn to pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly.
The introduction of nuclear weapons to the plot lets them re-use those fancy casualty projection graphics from season two.
"Visitor" is a code word. It refers to Siddig's ex-wife that he met while working on Deep Space Nine.
There's Something About Chloe.
Walid's so lucky. He managed to befriend one of maybe two or three actual terrorists in this "detention facility."
"On the face of it, the logic is compelling." Classic delivery. Pure MacNicol.
Wayne says he appreciates Tom Lennix's loyalty. Come on, man! On 24, that's like saying "what else could go wrong?"
If you thought Scott was going to take his hidden knife and kill Ahmed before he could give up useful information, SURPRISE! Some dumbshit agent did it instead!
Scott just promised Ahmed he wouldn't tell anyone what he knows! He's such a liar!
Curtis' shocking fate would have actually been a lot more shocking if they hadn't been listing Roger Cross as a "Guest Star" in these first four episodes instead of as the regular cast member he was for the last two seasons.
BOOM!

ouch, Jack was held for 2 years! I find the Wayne Palmer as Pres thing maybe a bit forced but acceptable. at least now we can mention "President Palmer" and not really spoil things for people who aren't all caught up on the seasons.
the "Lost Boys" moment was great. they've probably been waiting to do that for years now.
Go Dr. Bashir! I remember hearing how he didn't like playing stereotypical roles so being a "good guy" terrorist is okay. it makes me thing he certainly won't betray anybody (otherwise he might not have taken the role) but in typical 24 style all bets are off so it will be fun to watch... oh and nice catch of the "visitor" reference! :) I wonder if he'll get a line like "I'm a terrorist, not a doctor."
poor Curtis. he must have been so frustrated with Jack hogging the spotlight. I did find Chloe's dialogue about why Curtis would snap to be sufficient. that whole thing was pretty messed up. yeah 24! Jacks reaction was pretty perfect, he was all like "man that SUCKED!"
I wonder how close everyone was to the nuclear blast? I guess CTU might be shielded but Jack, well I'm guessing he's safe too...
and for fun... before you delete this off of your Tivo, check the scene where Mrs. um, Scott's Mom (I forget her name) gets into her minivan. you'll see a cameraman reflection in the window as she opens the door. (my computer recorded at low res, but confirmed it)
the mole
Ok, so I WASN'T seeing things when I saw a cameraman in the window. I didn't say anything because I thought I was a bit out of it.
Ah, to know that it was still there even when I was out of it. :P
Not only does Mom have a camera man on her driver's side window, but in the next shot, you can see a bunch of people standing at the end of her driveway in the reflection near the gas tank door.
Was the mom seska? If not she was in something startrek right?
