Default 24, 12:00pm-1:00pm (SPOILERS) - WHAT AN EPISODE!!!

Best one of all this season, IMO.

I have new respect for Wayne Palmer. Good for him to stand up to that idiot Tom. I could totally see the others use the 25th amendment to get Wayne out just like they did to get David out in season 2.

I just knew it that Philip Bauer is a bad guy when he asked to talk to his son alone. You could see that coming from a country mile away. You kind of got the feeling that he was going to kill him as well.

Great stuff with Morris as well. Finally this character gets a story line other than bitching at Milo all the time.

The commercials were some what limited as well I noticed!
Great episode all around tonight!

Yes I agree..best episode of the season for sure. And yes....finally the Morris charcter somehow enters the storyline in a meaningful way...cant wait to see how the Jack vs Dad battle settles itself.

I like how they're really putting Jack emotionally through the wringer this season as well. Logically (I know you can't apply logic to 24 but still) you can't go through or do the things Jack has done without being affected in some way.

Great episode, people always think I'm insane when I'm happy it's Monday, but Monday is the day of the Jack Bauer Power Hour! How could you NOT be happy?

I don't like the acting job by the guy who plays President Palmer. Just hard to take anything he says seriously...seems so forced.

I'm not too sure what Jack's Dad is up to...what are his true intentions?

I like what they're doing with Morris...that'll be fun to watch.

Well that was a good one. I agree best one this season, although the bomb going off was pretty intense.

Great episode.

Figured Grahme was throwing Jack for a loop by telling him all of his backroom dealings last year. It worked.

I figured Jacks dad was going to kill him..but thought he'd still be (truly) on the good side.

Ever since McCarthy mentioned something about needing an engineer, he wife and I thought about Morris, although thought he was on the bad team....although he may be...

I figured that dastardly Philip Bauer was up to no good when he shot that Bodyguard in cold blood. Didn't want to let Jack interogate him and find out what roguish exploits Big Phil was up to.

Echoes of Kevin Spacey unexpectedly murdering the Coke dealer in Usual Suspects.

And I can hardly stand Pres. Palmer's sister. She = the new Sherry Palmer. One of those characters you just cringe at every time she's on the screen.

But no one is as bad as Chloe. It's depressing she's the only other principal to survive into season 6.

Man... I don't know what's up anymore with 24. I've watched every single season but I really think it's losing it. The dramatic parts all have a "Yeah this more or less has happened before" effect.

Next week's episode looks good... but the past two have been awful.

This show lacks what Heroes and LOST bring to the table... creativity and having absolutely no idea what's going to happen next, and alot of outside the box thinking.

24 is losing it's charm to me... bigtime

Episode was way too predictable - I knew it was Morris heading into the episode, and I knew Jack's dad was involved with it all as well.
