Day 7, 3:00-4:00 PM

Kudos to the editing team for the nifty frozen muzzle flash on Jack Bauer during the "previously on" clips.

The magazine stand on the sidewalk has a jack to plug in for cable TV?

In seven years, this is Jack's first trip to the White House. Kinda cool.

Jack has a reputation. "Ask around." Entertainment web sites. Netflix. You know...

Sean hasn't seen his wife in seven seasons.

Today, it's Jack that "makes us better."

The lasagna subplot returns.

Dubaku's girlfriend's sister is upset they've only known each other four months. But that's like 120 seasons!

Really though, the girlfriend should listen to "sis-dar." It detects evil.

"Dammit!" (Drink!)

That makes two T-bone car wrecks in one season! And still plenty more time for more!

The dirty agent's mistake during the knife fight was stopping to pick up the knife again when the gun was only about three feet farther away from him.

Now Jack is playing Grand Theft Auto. Crash one car, steal another...

The Sengalan prime minister's double looks a little like Tim Meadows for half a second. But then, he does do all kinds of impressions.

Agent Walker will get out "tomorrow." Guess she's not planning on next season?

Stupid sister not only signs her death warrant, but she gives Dobaku a reason not to be there when Jack is about to come storming in.

Add double parking to Jack's list of offenses.

A scene of extreme violence against beer bottles ensues.

Poor Colm Feore. He has virtually no dialogue for three weeks, and now he's shot, so you can bet on no dialogue in the near future either.

I thought the gun flare freeze-frame was awesome, too.

this is a disturbing lack of immediate global crisis for 24. sure we have Mr Taylor who needs urgent help (and I thought the knife wound in the alley was not fatal-looking either) and the "villain" is still at large, but where are the nuc-u-lar weapons? (or magic CIP whatever?)

but I think I like the idea of a slower-paced section of episodes, maybe we'll get to see Jack have some lunch?

the highlight of the episode was the whole "are you alright?" "no.... I'm not." scene. and she said she was going to quit... tomorrow. was kinda funny since it was a blatant "after the season" time stamp. also the "our rules makes us better" "not today" was a funny blatant "not on this show" stamp. and um, Jack's "with all due respect, ask around." wink to the audience.

I wonder who was in the car that Jack GTA'd? obvious production-crew cameo spot.

the mole

I thought that exact thing! Now Congress is really going to come down on him!
