[US] 24, Day 7, Hour 16 [ 11 P.M. - 12 A.M.] [** SPOILERS WITHIN **]

DeepBlue

TVRage.com summary -

As a major development changes the game for the country and Jack Bauer, the FBI is forced to collaborate with other federal agencies. Theories tying Starkwood to Sangala emerge, and the imminent threat targeting the nation places thousands of lives at risk. Meanwhile, after the day's unthinkable setbacks, the administration seeks a new perspective.

I almost feel sorry for that bioweapon. Does it really think it can take down Jack?

Standard 24 stuff. Best bit was when Jack jumped on the moving truck, opened the door and and punched the driver in the face.

There's what eight episodes left now? It seems like the rest of the season is clearly mapped out. Jack gets sick, Kim comes to his beside while Tony/FBI save the day. Season ends with Jack arrested/in coma.

Also on the FBI, have they arrived on time for anything this season or managed to catch anyone? They seem incompetent.

As for the bio-weapon, anyone remember season three when most of those exposed died horrible deaths?

Poor ep imho.
Was obvious yer man was playing Tony.
FBI were always going to get cornered, again useless.
The only bit that was good was when Jack wasn't allowed go, and he accepted it. For a minute I was thinking, oh no Jack hits someone, escapes and runs away to save the day, but at least they didn't use it again this season.

They could have done better when FBI dude ordered them out of the warehouse, and I thought he was going to let tony torture him to get the location....that would been cool.

Would love to know how they're going to make 6 more hours out of the bioweapons??

Agree with above. Fairly predictable stuff. Thought Olivia Taylor as new chief of staff was a bit silly, too.

Line of the episode: "I had these scars before: they're not from the chemicals."

It was obvious that he was playing Tony. You could see that Hodges was planning something right from the start when he said "Know the psychology of your subject." And then the setup that Greg was disagreeing with Hodges.

Jack and Renee will have to go to the rescue now. Good to see that Aaron will be in it for a while more.

A 7 just for the horrified look on all the womens faces when they saw Jacks scars

As soon as Jack agreed not to go, I knew something was up, and that they wouldn't succeed. They couldn't possibly find the weapons without Jack being there. I thought for a minute that maybe the helicopters would get shot down, leaving only Jack to save the day.

A strange one, indeed. I think her little house of cards will come tumbling down soon. Though what happened with her leaked news story on Jack killing the senator, and Ethan being responsible for allowing it? Did that just go away? I though it was meant to air on the 11 O'clock news, and now it's gone midnight with no mention of it at all.

Thought it was a great episode, good to see Tony doing a bit more in the last 2 episodes...

I must be the only one who didnt cop that Tony was being played....

So how are they gonna cure Jack? There is no way they will kill him off!

Pretty good stuff.

I didn't expect them to follow through on Jack getting the virus. That was good.

I didn't see the double cross coming until they were about to enter the warehouse when I was thinking this is way too easy.

Enjoyed it a lot. 9/10

The scene at the end was brilliant, reminded me of the classic scene from The Rock.

I hope it doesn't end without knowing Jack's fate. I was fuming when the Chinese took Jack, but his battle with the virus must have some direction by the end of the series.

I gonna go out on a limb and say there's an antidote. The government says there's none but I bet Hodges has one in his office! Jack will get it, he'll be fine , him and renee will be in love and they'll all live happier ever after :cool:

But he miraculously lost his scars her had on his hands from his vacation to beijing back in the day

Dno what to think about Jack bein infected

I'd say it'll end on a cliffhanger and we wont know anything til Dayeth the seventh

Kim will be back soon :rolleyes:, and aparently Séan, so bita random ahead I'd say!

I was actually hoping tonights episode would end with a bullet into Larry's head

the shock factor is gone completely this series, compared to earlier seasons, esp 5 [which they're also kinda recyclin the plot, dodgy gov with gas!]

Jack will die with a virus. I don't think so. I hope Larry Moss does get a bullet in his head and René gets a job at the local lap dancing club.

Man, that CDC chick is so hawt.



Oh yeh, good episode too :pac: Didn't realise Tony / FBI was being setup either, which i guess helped out the auld antertainment factor.

I am almost certain she was in season three when they had that virus storyline.

It seems set up that Jack and Renee will now spring into action to rescue useless Larry and the others and the remaining episodes will be about Jack valiantly battling his deteriorating health while at the same time trying to get the bio weapon back.

Yup, thats her!


Maybe they fooled us with his 3 more seasons contract, and counted Redemption as its own season, bein season 6.5

Im sure theres a cure though

Ooooh.....good catch. She was in 3 previous episodes: http://www.tvrage.com/person/id-27936/Christina+Chang#mcast

Keeping that sort of continuity 4 seasons down the line is pretty cool.
