WHOA I did not see that one coming!

In the beating a dead horse department, I still want to say I don't buy
that there are no residual effects of the Syntox in CTU. Don't tell me
no particles are on the desks, on papers & still generally in the air.
OK, I give up now.

I know that the terrorists are still out there, but Jack got focused
pretty quick after Tony's death. But I guess we can't spend twenty
minutes with Jack sitting and moping and Audrey telling him "We need
you back out there Jack."

Now that Henderson escaped, it sure is convenient, er um, nice that
Chloe was able to decrypt one of his files. It is always funny how
they are only able to decrypt a name, never a sentence saying "This
person X does this in the conspiracy and reports to so and so." By
the way, Henderson escaping reminds of how irritated I was with Marwan
constantly getting away.

MISSING CONVERSATION: Between Jack and Curtis. "Dude. You punched
me, knocked me out and left me by some bushes." "Curtis WE DON'T HAVE
TIME FOR THIS NOW. You can sucker punch me when this is done."

Curtis and the rest of the team fell in line pretty quickly behind
Jack. Jack really has the best of both worlds now. He can give orders
and people follow him without question, but he can always say "I don't
work for CTU" and break protocol.

I just gotta' say again I like Collette.

And yes Lynn McGill should have made a crazed run for the door rather
than going back to that room and waiting to die.

GRIMACE... taking over Edgar's station. That hurts. I hope that guy
doesn't become a mole, but I can see him being tied to the VP.

Curtis, Curtis! Stop taking chances, stop being the lead guy. Every
time he runs through a door first I come close to biting off my lip.

I just knew Jack wouldn't let some German Jack Bauer Wanna Be get the
best of him. I wonder if all CTU memory chips come with a set to
explode option?

Doug Main...

By the way, never tell Jack "You can't touch me!"

The Wet List. Sort've like what the British Guy wanted in S3 right?
Note to any Federal agencies watching this: Keep a fake or exploding
Wet List around just in case we need to give it to someone.

The Old Spill the Coffee in the Lap Trick. I have seen this so many
trillions of times that if someone ever does spill a drink on me, I
will KNOW that they are secretly up to something and I will stand there
soaking wet rather than leaving the room.

So Bierko is torching his first hideout. Any chance CTU will learn
about the fire, get there and find in the ashes one the one tiny piece
of evidence that didn't burn?

Hey how was Collette able to drive around so easily with the curfew
being imposed?

Doug Main...

Did anyone think about Claudia when Jack and the German guy had that
talk in the car?

"Are we alright?" I loved that.

Jack has a 5 o'clock shadow on his face. did that ever happen really
in other seasons?

Poor Wayne Palmer. He should have called Jack first. It's good to see
DB Woodside still working. I gotta admit I would LOVE IT if he ran
into a cougar out in the woods!

Doug Main...

Hey, how is the German guy driving around so easily with the curfew
going?

I would have loved to see Collette get 'interrogated' a little more.
Oh well.

And then the big shocker! I really hope Audrey is not going to go Nina
on us. She can only partially be involved. She would never have
deliberately stayed in CTU knowing Syntox was going to be released.
She also took risks to get Jack into Henderson's company. I think
Audrey is only a patsy. But her interrogation is going to be rough.

By the way, I wonder if Bierko has his getaway plane waiting at Van
Nuys, LAX or Ontario airports. Of course he isn't going to release
this nerve gas and then stick around.
