Those were two amazing episodes! Perhaps amongst the best in the series. What a season so far! I just hope it can sustain this pace the rest of the year.

Let me mention that I did not watch the teaser for next week, as I have been watching the last month or so without finding out what will happen the following week. So if anyone wants to discuss future episodes, I'm hoping they utilize the spoiler feature. :)

Oh, one more thing. That senator has got to be the biggest swine in the series! That he would put proper protocol even over the lives of thousands of people is beyond ridiculous! Good for Buchanan to give him that response after the senator tore into Jack again! :(

OHHH MAN!!!! How could they leave us with that tease?!?!
Anyways, two great episodes! I really can't wait to see next Monday's episode. My only complaint is just how the second episode ended. Still, it's 24. I should have suspected this cliffhanger ending...
I also had this feeling whenever something bad happened. I was like, "Oh my God, I can't watch. Something bad's just happened." But, on the other hand, I thought, "I can't change the channel, because I want to see what happens."

Pure dynamite. Renee is steadily emerging into a possible love interest worthy of Jack. And Jack back in torture mode is irresistable. More fights, please, and less extended gunplay would be the final charm for me.

Fantastic couple of episodes. Due to the writers' strike, these episodes seem far more polished than usual, with less clanging dialogue, which is excellent. Cherry Jones is really cranking it up as President Taylor, Tony Todd as Juma provides a nice change from Dubaku, Tony Almeida is becoming shadier by the week, plus Jon Voight's character seems superbly creepy from the small glimpse we've had so far. Anyone have any thoughts on what the mysterious "shipment" will be?

The best moment of the week probably has to be Jack tasering the phone though...

And, yes, Jack tasering the phone was the best moment!

I have to agree with you Dodge and I thought...
Spoiler
was so perfect and pure Jack Bauer. I think Renee could be a possible love interest since they are very similar in the way they will do anything to get the job done and Renee may be somewhat hesitant to go the extra mile but Jack was hesitant in the 1st season like she is now.

That was my second choice :( Brilliant stuff from Kiefer. I hope the senator either gets his comeuppance or has to rely on Jack to save his life.

For the record, third place goes to Jon Voight suggesting a game of darts.

Lol, yeah the darts game was weirdly random. I wonder how the Evil Senator arc will play out. Will Bauer save his life, causing the Senator to see the Error Of His Ways ™ ? Or maybe he'll just get killed, which would solve a few problems for everyone :)

These were my two favorites as well. The episodes definitely lived up to my expectations & the previews for next week look great. John Voit was excellent - both creepy & sinister. I was glad to see Bill make it through. I got nervous there for a second that he was going to be sent to 24 heaven - roman haircut & all. :(

I agree RB! But the downside is, the POTUS would be aloud to interrogate a guy who commited treason. The secret service would go crazy.

Agreed, I thought it would be the end for Bill when he ran off with the President's tracker. I still fear for his safety next week though.

It was kind of unrealistic that they did NOT kill Bill or Agent Pierce, since both were obviously more than just "innocent bystanders" and were deliberately trying to defy Juma. But still, we don't want them dead do we! Oh and presumably Chloe has been yanked off to have her baby, and will be back in a few weeks, now without the conveniently placed desks and computer monitors which block the view of everything but her head and shoulders :(

BTW I can't remember, what exactly happened to Isaach de Bankole's Sangala president character? Wasn't he in the White House last time we saw him?

I believe he was last seen leaving the Oval Office saying that he needed to talk to his staff. Presumably he is elsewhere now. Curious how the entire Cabinet also seems to have disappeared from the White House too!

Pretty interesting idea to invade the White House and take it over; as heavily protected as it is I'm surprised they were able to sell the idea and put together a decent job of it.

Looks like Jack's new girlfriend will invade the place herself next week without the VP's approval.

Yep, Bill's death has an inevitable ring about it. Be sad to see the good grey warrior go. I hope he takes somebody with him.

I don't think Bill will die. I think he (and Jack of course) will save POTUS, and he will become the new Secret Service agent in charge, or POTUS will start CTU back up- and Bill will be back in his usual place.

Totally guessing on this one! :-)

Well, they've been fooling us all season so far (i.e. the FBI mole and his presumed escaping from FBI headquarters), why not fool us again and have Bill (and Aaron Pierce for that matter) live this season? For once, Jack doesn't lose any allies during a bad day. That would be a surprise. Although, I do think Tony's days may be numbered. My only question is will he go out a hero or a villain?

For those who were perplexed by the Dubaku lasagna discussion a few episodes ago, it's just come to my attention that this was most likely an in-joke by the writers... I'm sure many of you were quicker than me and noticed, but LASAGNA is of course an anagram of SANGALA!

I think this is due to some clever editing. The trailer for this weeks two parter gave a few false impressions like when Jack strikes the soldier & the door later explodes. To me, those scenes implied the bad guys were involved but that wasn't the case in both instances.
