I still can't believe they named a fictional Middle Eastern company the I.R.K. It's like a name out of Get Smart or something.
Dahlia says her husband was sorry about all the torture. Nice, but a lie.
Taylor's plan is that a woman could become president of a Middle Eastern country. A lovely sentiment, but sadly ludicrous even for 24.
Chloe acts like she runs CTU already. Putting her in charge shouldn't change much.
Hastings takes the news of his firing standing up straight, for perhaps the first time in his life.
Hastings talks about letting the "snake into the garden." I like this CTU-as-garden metaphor, because CTU is full of crap.
Little Teri Bauer's middle name should be "Hostage," because that's the family heritage.
It appears that the First Crazy Lazy didn't finish the job a few seasons back; Charles Logan is still alive.
This is how you get an actor to agree to sit out for half an episode: have his character have sex in real time. Play to ego.
Dahlia will need her daughter's help now. She can start by not sleeping with terrorists.
Logan is going to help with "resurrecting the peace process." So... Zombie Peace?!
I've heard great things about "I'm sorry I stabbed you" sex.
Is no one gonna keep pressure on Renee's wound?
And just like that, the best thing about season 7 is gone.

at least there were some moments of awesome tension when the sniper was about to strike. usually it's a weak character that is put in unknown imminent peril, unable to defend itself. but to see the two main heroes in that situation was interesting. I'm kinda glad the sniper didn't miss otherwise it would have been typical lame Hollywood action movie fantasy (which doesn't belong in 24!) so it sucks but at least I know what show I'm watching again. Renee was having a "Teri" sort of day anyway, where she would have been really mentally messed up if she survived anyway...
Chloe in charge? the phone call was 4th wall awkward. he said "your the best character at CTU so we'll put you in command because it will be fun for the audience." how many times have we seen a surprise person show up and take over in the middle of the day? like, every season right?
how far in the future is this to have the wife take over for a fictional middle east country? the only reason they would agree to that is so they would have someone to kill in the impending coup or something?
the mole
Did anyone else think Logan was dead when Martha stabbed him a few years back?
As soon as they reminded us of his wife Terri, I knew Renee would die for sure.
2 weeks with high profile deaths.
I'm glad to see Chloe put in another awkward situation.
At least they admitted that the Hassan's wife would be killed for what she's doing.
Now we get to see revenge Jack. Maybe we can see him torture someone with a lamp cord this season.
That was the best ep from this season so far cause it had NO DANA WALSH PLOTLINE! (Sorry Katie, I love ya, kiddo.)
I want to see an edited version of this season with that plot completely removed like Jar Jar is taken out of the Phantom Edit version of the Phantom Menace.
I'm always late to the party and just finished watching this episode, but Dahlia's rise to the Presidency didn't surprise me too much. Just as Logan is likened to Nixon, I see Dahlia in the mold of Benazir Bhutto with similar results.
