Seems the Dana-thon continues ...

Beanstalk

Meh.

Good episode. That Dana lark needs to stop though.

Minstrel27

Meh.

Great episode but yet again this whole Dana story is close to ruining it.

Am I alone in thinking that a place like CTU would be strictly off limits to everybody, even a ****ing probation officer.

They should cut out any scene with her and rename the show 23.

Meh.

It would be more like 15 or something without all the Dana crap at this stage. But yeah, she has got to go... how I wish she was splattered all over the pressure chamber instead...

Good episode otherwise, glad to see the subplot of Hassan's daughter weave into the main plot - I thought that was going to be another meaningless side plot for awhile.

I was sorta right last week that Marcus' mommy was going to be used to get him out of the chamber. Though it did take that extra bit from Jack...

...which was the best part of the episode: Jack's threats to Marcus - great stuff and some classic Bauer looks . How the hell did the camera on the inside get fixed?

Minstrel27

Meh.

I thought about that too. IIRC he smashed it from the inside. The aftermath of his explosion looked good.

silvine

Still good.

Dana was hot in Battlestar Galactica. That particular storyline might run for the entire day as apparently Cole

is signed up to appear in all 24 episodes

Great episode, especially the classic Bauer threats. "Look into my eyes!"

Xavi6

Solid episode but I wish Dana would just fuck off at this stage.

Tarin the snake!

DeepBlue

Wasn't Tarin in the car with President Hassan and therefore would have been blown up if the assassination plot succeeded?

More importantly why am I pointing out plot holes in 24?*





*Cos it's not like it normally makes sense anyway.

whosedaddy?

Lame.

I call that dedication to the cause and commendable personal supervision.. whether its successful or not - either way, you're first to know.

I'm sure he answers to some US businessmen syndicate that want to get one up on the US government ....again...

I was actually a bit bored and glad when it was over..

But I admit it the "look into my eyes" was Jackalicous when he told Marcos he would get his mother into the chamber to clean up the body parts..

Sherifu

Meh.

Dana.... *shakes head*.........Dana....Dana....Dana....

Jack stole the show talking Marcos out.

That kind of irked me too but then again these guys are prepared to die. Or Tarin may not have known when or how the attack was going to happen.

Turtwig

Am I the only one who thinks Tarin could still be innocent? And he's name was a ploy so that CTU would go looking for him and then IRK would abduct Hassan's daughter.

Anyways, preview for next monday looks like one of the better previews I've seen so far. Doesn't say anything about the episode, but the editing is done nice.

noodler

That looks epic.

Mr. K

Still good.

Tarin could still be innocent alright, Marcos could've lied or have been lied to.

This was a great episode, but I'm also sick of the Dana storyline. Maybe she'll just clear things up with the parole officer and that'll be that...? We wish!

unreggd

Meh.

Yeah i still think Tarin is innocent / working as a double agent

Dana's a tool! Hi stranger I've never met before, my name is Dana Walsh, I work at CTU, yay!

Next week looks whopper

WTF though, CTU attacked AGAIN! Would they ever cop the fxck on

One thing I thought was weird, could they not just cut off the power supply to the tank Marcos was in, or at least the lights so he couldnt re-config the bomb

cooker3

Agree with what everyone said re Dana.

Bar that enjoyable enough, highlight by far is Jack saying I am going to kill your mother. Awesome!
