I will never understand why people who dislike a show still watch, and not only watch, but come to blog about the show and share their dislike. It's called "moving on" .... try giving it a shot.

"This is the 2nd to worst season of 24..." but better than the rest of the series.that is the question.I think your expectations do not enjoy it in the series. The last two episodes were good, with some especially interesting moments

I did love the way Dana, AKA "Jenny's" southern accent kicked in when she started confessin'. You can take the girl out the trailer park but you can't take the trailer park out the girl.

Boy, 24 is going from bad to worse. Does anybody give 2 cents about the accuracy of the location? I do. That was not Forest Hills where the nuclear material was sequestered. Further, is anyone wondering why the order hasn't been issued to seal off Queens from the surrounding boroughs in New York? Then again, everytime CTU forms a "perimeter" it is breached.

Raccoon Boy

Couldn't agree more about Annie Wersching's awesomeness. I love how protective Jack is of Renee. I hope these two can have a little happiness together after this awful day is over.

This is the 2nd to worst season of 24. The worst being the season with Jack's dad and brother. Drones? Come on!

Anyone else wishing that Cole had just shot both of them in the van for blackmailing his fiance?

I liked this episode the best so far. Gee, there are a lot of "haters" out there!
This episode had suspense, betrayal, action, etc. Jack gravitating to a damaged Renee is interesting since he does like to rescue people, especially women. Great! Now Jenny has sucked Cole into her past dysfunction and she shows sympathy to Kevin. After the mess he put her in? Has Freddie Prinze had plastic surgery? His face is so tight and shiny. I do not like him or believe him in this role.
Farhad is a crybaby and whiner, and needs to get a taste of his own medicine. Or, just a good old ass whippin.
Fun episode. Can't wait until next week....

Yow, it was looking like Jack was finally moving towards becoming whole again and now he's been dragged back into the arena and on top of that he's hitched his wagon to Renee and is trying to save a soul maybe twice as damaged as he ever was. What are the odds of that turning out well?

Jack's "Son... you're going to get hurt." took me right back to Bogey's "A crippled newsie took them away, but I made him give them back." when he brings Wilmer back to Gutman sans guns in "Maltese Falcon". 24 is never better than when Jack is in all out heinie kicking mode.

The good thing about Hastings growing a spine is I suspect he'll be as big a PITA to anyone he goes up against now as he was when he was strictly in CYA mode.

Poor Cole. His dream girl turns out to be a big old bagful of crazy and now he's up to his neck in her droppings.

A bomb in 19 hours? I can see it it you've got the parts and the people. They're only out to build a "dirty bomb" not something to rival the nuke from Los Alamos, and they've made their most difficult acquisition in getting the rods.

I'm glad Kevin and Shane are out of the way. They had no relevance to the nuclear material which is where I hoped the story would go, but at least it gives Dana and Cole a huge problem to deal with in the midst of the crisis. The nuclear material backstabbing was fun and now there's a legitimate, confirmed threat of attack. The Jack and Renee stuff was a big step on such a serialized show, so it'll be interesting how it plays out in the end.
