1. I'm still trying to digest four hours - that's a very nice dosage and I HOPE they decide to go this route again next season - the timing after the first of the year is good with FB winding down and it's nice to really get into it quickly. Now, hopefully I can adapt to the one hour a week.
2. I am definitely liking this season story line more than last year at this point - the addiction thing was very messy and seemed inconsistent (though I missed 5-6 hours in the middle while I was gone - I'm tempted to go after that DVD that's available.
3. Behrooz - I guess he's been corrupted by living in American culture - seems like an interesting story line. In this case maybe that "corruption" is good. I'd like to discuss this some other time - the effect of American culture and assimilation - good or bad?
BTW - now he's going to have to get rid of the body in the next hour or two. Does he end up turning on mom and dad down the road?
4. Chloe - nice to see a familiar face and she's a little more in tune this year, though she can still be very annoying.
5. Erin - must one be an a-hole to lead CTU? It seems to be a requirement (other than Jack, of course). I suppose the tension it creates feeds the show. Daughter thingy - I sure hope it ties in somewhere down the road. Otherwise it's just filling time. I don't want to have dangling participles this season (btw - what is a participle?).
6. Curtis - I'm trying to warm up to him, but this affair thing coming into the middle of the crisis and the tension is to much been there/done that.
7. Edgar - nice to see a "regular" person get a few minutes on the show. I like his klutzyness and nervousness. OTH - how did he get this job?
8. With the Heller thing getting resolved next week or the week after (it seems) there's a long way to go and many more issues to solve for the next 19 hours - I'm surprised they're getting this one done so quickly, though I'm glad to see it keep moving ahead.
9. Jack is Jack - though it was nice to see him calm and at ease for an hour or so (saw Kiefer on Letterman a couple of weeks ago and he seems to want to see the show keep going and going - he loves it).
10. The robbery - far be it from me to not criticize gratuitous writing and events. Yet, I can see why he chose this method. Chloe is having trouble with the satellite - there's no guarantee that it's gonna happen imminently. So, a flat tire might delay long enough, but what if.... Plus, does it make our mark more suspicious and less likely to follow through with going back to the warehouse? I'd say yes since he was suspicious of being followed and this would really raise his suspicions even more. Plus, with the robbery, Jack has the option of stretching it out longer to accomodate Chloe (as he attempted). Any competent person can change a flat in 10 minutes adn then he's back on the road again quickly - he is in an hurry. Finally, would you rather watch him change a flat or Jack pretending to hold the place up so he gets a chance to yell at people and order them around? I'm surprised he didn't shot anyone in the leg.
11. Tony should be showing up between 1 and 2 p.m. Why? What's the angle and how do he and Jack end up working together.
12. NO KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13. Could we get a gratitous look at Sherry Palmer at some point?
