Day 8, 2:00-3:00 AM

The terrorist group is actually named the I.R.K.? I find that irksome.

Are Cole and Dana really having this conversation in an elevator where they know a camera is located?

Hastings tells those two that how they perform from this point will determine whether 24 gets another season.

At what point might the terrorists decide that constantly opening the box with the radioactive rods in it might not be such a good idea?

Arlo rushes to make up for two hours of not being able to harass Dana.

Why does it not occur to ANYONE that gee, this suspect has locked himself in a hyperbaric chamber... could we maybe do something with the air pressure in there to knock him out?!

After their episode-spanning sexcapade, Kayla is all sweaty. Her man, not so much.

"Our daughter is God knows where." Don't you mean Allah?

Marcos called his Mom in the dead of night and told her to leave the city. Obviously he failed to convey the urgency here, since Mom's still packing one full hour later.

What kind of probation officer works at 2:30 in the morning and crosses multiple states to pursue just one of his assigned people? I understand that Dana has proven stupid enough so far this season to believe a story like that, but do the writers really think we are stupid enough to think this guy is legit?

Or maybe the writers are stupid enough to actually make him legit?

Suddenly Agent Owen is really sweaty. Maybe he was the one having sex with Kayla Hassan.

"Marcos [middle name] Al-Zacar, you get out here right now!"

Jack can't say on FOX the other things he'll do to Mom if Marcos doesn't cooperate.

There are FOUR lights!

"Dammit!" (Drink!)

"Dammit, Marcos! Give me a name!" (Drink!)

Marcos goes all Jackson Pollock.

Can they not do a GPS trace on Kayla's phone?

Was that the quickest shower ever?

NYPD is going to set up a "perimeter." (Drink!)

If the writers keep us drinking enough, maybe we won't keep noticing all these plot holes!

Yeah, I kept yelling "just gaz the bastard!" at the screen.


"There are FOUR lights!"
Very clever. (I miss that show.)

"Marcos goes all Jackson Pollock."
Disgusting, but still clever. :)

This HAD to be the worst hour of the season (so far). Plot holes within plot holes... Bleh.

haha yeah my new giant HDTV really showed how much water they poured all over poor Kayla. it must not show up enough on regular TVs so they had to over do it? it was a cool moment when her situation turned from happy to freaked-out.

why was Jack the one disarming the bomb? they probably had several modern CTU bomb experts there by the time they would have needed them! you could see Jack's hands shaking. the one-second shot of exploded blood splatter was worth it.

the probation officer thing was a bit much. argh where is that crazy train going!? I thought it was finally over. Chloe's pep talk was fun "I'm glad you didn't get fired and all. because you should have been."

A couple more things:

- The blast of air that blew Jack away when the bomb went off was very cool. Looked very different than the standard "stuntmen jumped sideways as if pushed by the blast." You could tell he WAS pushed/pulled. Well done.

- The Mole: everyone was working in slow-mo in this show. They say it'll take about 40 minutes to drill through, and yet they start drilling 30 minutes later. And yes, they need someone to disarm the bomb, they've had an hour to get them, and yet Jack has to do it.

- Jack was pretty bad-ass when he was threatening Marcos with ungodly things he intended to do to his mom...
