Yeah I get that vibe too Rob, but now I want to see Jack eat a terrorist. Maybe he'll say "Dammit Chloe! His flesh is too gamey!"

I thought you were going to say that you were waiting for the day that Jack ate Chloe :-)

If Chloe turns out to be a terrorist and Jack eats her, I don't know if I would laugh or cry

I am enjoying season 7 so far. I think it is much better than season 6 and last monday's episode was fantastic.

I've enjoyed season seven thus far. At least the season has held together after the first four episodes. There have been occasional lulls and there's a little too much soap-opera at the FBI, but at least its being minimized and the story itself is moving along well enough. I can't wait for Jon Voight's debut.

This season has been pretty good compared to last season, but for all the drama they made about this season being some sort of "reboot" with a "change of scenery", the reality is that the FBI is the new CTU with all the same office politics, inferiority complexes, moles, triangles of trust, and the like.

I like the idea of an African terrorist, though I do find it a bit preposterous that one firewall breach can bring the entire infrastructure of the United States under the control of a rogue. Why would everything be linked to a centralised security system? That said, it is 24 and no-one expects a scintilla of reality, but that seemed to strike me as an obvious logic flaw.

Best episode for me was the one where Agent Gedge prepares to murder the First Gentleman and fails. Gripping tension!

I can't believe I'm still watching after that whole "african terrorist is dating some lasagna making crazy woman" thing from a few eps ago, but I am ... my father in law thinks it would have been funnier if the terrorist was living with his mother though.

I work in DC so the funniest part of this season is watching them go from point a to point b by driving down road that don't go there or getting from the White House to the Capitol is less then 5 minutes.

This season is definately better then last season but I wish they could go a whole season without a mole.

Yes, you would think that after 6 previous terrorist incidents, two of which involved nuclear explosions on US soil, you would think that it would be extremely hard to infiltrate these government security organisations.

I have enjoyed Season 7 alot so far, much better than last season which started out good but went downhill fast after
the nuke went off. I was glad they have done a gradual build in the threats and tension, lots of good conflct and
suspense.

I like it being in DC, I like alot of the new characters this season, esp Agent Walker. Her and Jack have some good
chemistry and they work well together. I hope she comes back next season. The stuff with the First Gentlemen
was good, loved it when he killed the traitor agent Gedge before he could hang him. Feel really sorry for the guy,
he's really been put through the ringer and then he get's shot by a Dubaku henchmen at the end of last week's
episode. Hopefully, he should make it.

The last 2 episodes I thought were very good I can't wait to see what the next twist is coming up now that Dubaku
has run out of evil schemes for now. Looking foward to when Jon Voight finally shows up. Also waiting for Tony to
come back also.

The only thing that has bugged me is the situation with the Mole in the FBI, Mole's have become such a cliche on this
show I'm suprised they brought it back again. Hopefully the reveal of who it is will lead to some good stuff.

Tonights's episode slowed things down a bit compared to the last
2, but I still thought it was really good.

- I thought they did a good job of showing Renee getting close to a breaking
point over Jack's methods, she did a good job in bringing up some good
points when they discussed having Marika go to Dubaku so they could
catch him. Their conversation in the hallway as she was being picked up
was good. If it wasn't for the Mole problems they would have had more
backup to make it easier but they didn't, it was just the two of them.
Both Jack and Renee were very nice to Marika after they realised she
had no clue who Dubaku really was. Loved it when they busted down
the sisters door, Jack and Renee are bad ass.

- So the Traitors were going to kill Dubaku for his failures, but now they can't
cause he has the goods on who's been working with him and General Juma.
I loved that scene where he met the guy who gave him his traveling papers and
he saw right through him and all the guys he brought with him. Dubaku is not stupid,
I like a smart villian. This development is porbably what brings in Jonas Hodges (John Voight)
in the next few episodes.

- Loved seeing not only Morris come back (him and Chole's kid is cute!) but the best
Secret Service Agent ever, Aaron Pierce! Loved that Bill called him to bring Olivia, the First Daughter,
to the hospital, Aaron is beyond trustworthy and reliable. I liked how Morris kept trying to get Chole
to let him come help, he probsnly doesn't like being left out of the action and having to watch their kid.

- Larry working with Chloe was fun stuff, loved how when he was running down Jack (nice move by having him
mentioning how Jack killed both Curtis and Chapelle) and she stood up for him. Her reaction to how he set up the
server was a hoot.

- SEAN IS THE MOLE!!! That motherf****r!! Not only did he do a good job in slowing Jack and Renee down, but he totally set Janis up to make Larry and Chloe think she's the Mole! When she accessed the server with that pass key to see what Chloe was doing, he must have been watching that, and thats how he knew Jack and Renee were almost to Dubaku, so he issued the fake arrest warrent on them to slow em up. I knew that guy was a dirtbag for cheating on his wife, but now I hate him even more! I can't wait till Larry, Chloe and Janis catch his traitorious ass.

The preview for next week looks great, Sean makes him move on Larry and Chloe to cover his tracks, while Jack and Renee have a big argument at the hospital, prob cause Marika gets hurt when she fights Dubaku and causes the car crash. Looks like Renee hits the breaking point with Jack, she slaps him good! Can't wait to see how they resolve that...I bet that's going to lead to an intimite moment, perhaps an almost kiss for them? Wouldn't be suprised.

The post strike stuff is off to a good start, can't wait till next week!

24 Porn!

The awesome predictability of this season's twists are boring me to tears, actually. I hereby predict that the conspirators end up capturing Ms. President and Jack has to rescue her. C'mon 24 writers & producers, prove me wrong...

I like Superman, excuse me, "24" as much as the next guy, but am I the only one who thinks the obligatory torture debate inserted into every episode just feels completely tacked on?

The facial observations a lot of these characters make cause me to roll my eyes rather than think....maybe the writers could present a scenario where Jack's methods are to his detriment rather than benefit. If all we're gonna get is the standard line from the tedious head of the FBI, just let Jack Bauer keep blowing off people's knee caps and let everyone else be quiet

Oh yeah, alot of awesome happend in last night's episode. Jack and Renee finally caught Dubaku, but the
girlfriend died when she caused his car to crash. Her death caused Jack and Renee to have a really awesome
argument at the hospital while the doctors were trying to keep Dubaku alive. Jack found the list Dubaku had
on most of the people involved in the conspiracy. The moles (yes there was more than one) got busted, The
President and Bill think it's just about over (with Bill asking the President to help Jack out of his problems with
Senator Mayer from the first episode), and then Tony shows up at the end of the episode to tell Jack that of
course it's not over and that another major terror attack is about to take place.

A very intense and exciting episode.

This season got off to a great start, but the last 3 to 4 episodes have been mind blowingly awesome.

- The first 12 minutes were excellent, I was on the edge of my seat as Jack and Renee tried to catch Dubaku. I was hoping Marika wouldn't die but when Renee tried to revive her and got nothing, I knew she was gone.

- Loved how Jack figured out a metal thing the EMT's found under Dubaku's skin was the list of traitors and cut it out of him, Jack rules but damn that was gross. He didnt even use gloves!

- Sean AND Erica were both moles! What a witch. I had a feeling after their talk in the bathroom that he was going to turn her into a patsy so he could get away, didn't expect he would kill her to boot! What an a-hole!

- Soooo glad Chloe recovered the data so Larry could bust his ass, I hope you fry dirtbag. Loved Larry roughing him up after he got caught, Chloe rules!

- Totally loved the scenes in the hospital with Jack and Renee, great acting from both of em. I was expecting her to blow up on Jack sooner rather than later, Marika's death was the trigger, esp after the sister ripped into Renee for not saving her. I think that its going to help both Jack and Renee as the day continues. I think what she said really got to Jack, which is probably why he was outside sitting on the steps, thinking about what happend. He opened up a bit when he let Renee cry on his shoulder, but shut back down when she was still angry.

- Liked the short scene with the President and her daughter Oliva, can't blame her for not liking having to sit in the WH while her father is fighting for his life in the hospital.

- I also liked that Bill asked President Taylor to get Senator Mayer to back off on Jack, Jack has saved the country more times than we can count, he doesnt deserve to get railroaded by the Senate.

- That last scene with Tony and Jack was awesome, the lighting with the sunset and the music made it very cool. Tony was right, were not even at the halfway point of the season, it's far from over Jack.

Previews for Next Week: 2 hours, yeah baby! HOLY **** General Juma is going to attack the freaking White House!! Jack better come up with a good game plan when that goes down, he may have to pull a Die Hard in the White House to stop this. I bet Senator Mayer is going to have to rethink his opinion of Jack a bit when he saves his ass and the President's next week when Juma attacks

I can't wait till next week!

Two hours of 24 next week will be amazing!

The writers said that the first eight episodes are not as good as the last 16 because they got the time to map out the series during the writers' strike. If these past two episodes are any indication, this could possibly be the best season of 24 yet! (I liked 1, 4, and 5 the most, 2 was good too)

Freckles are getting annoying. I really liked her but now her character's become annoying again. C'mon, Jack saved her life and she tortured two people, and also knew what was going to happen (the plane crashes) if she didn't! Make her more into female Jack and less into female Larry Moss (although he had a badass moment where he was roughing up Sean)

Tony's reveal was terrible. They should have resolved it and ended the episode then, lulling the viewer into false hope and then spring us the surprise next season. Or am I alone in that sentiment? I just think that the ending was severely anticlimatic.
