1 month and counting until the new season starts...

Any ideas on how this seasons going to go? The only previews/clips I've seen is Jack wondering around what looks like Arizona, and he answers his cellphone "How did you get this number?" I have no idea what's going to happen... and that's what i love Evil

did he really not notice the difference in weight of the pistol that jack gave him with and without a full clip? Only reason that came to mind was because I saw Taken laugh out loud

I was panicking about that, thankfully it didn't happen or the show would have just become so lame...

Anyone remember Ryan Chapelle? Not a big deal, just some idiot at "division" who didn't deserve the silent clock, but I pictured the clock as being more for Jack and his sadface on that one.

Anywho, as a highly trained CTU agent that is the captain of his team, I would have expected Cole to turn away when hearing BEEP BEEP BEEP from the flashbang.

Turn away, drop to the floor, close the box and throw it at Dana's face... anything but freeze up and gawk at it. If your training doesn't teach you how to keep cool and react appropriately in any situation, it at least teaches you how to have some kind of default reaction that makes you more qualified as a field agent than any random civilian...

But, at least he got a second chance. Now he's going to be conflicted about how he felt about her since she spared him, and it's going to make him angry when he talks to Jack... Perhaps Cole will be getting the silent clock because Jack is probably going on a rampage like Dana said, and when they have a standoff, Jack's gonna wrap it up pretty quickly. (He is alive right? Being tackled didn't kill him? I didn't see him in next week's preview, how long is a field agent gonna nap in a bank? For the rest of the series?)

24 is going out with a bang. After last nights episode I think this season is one of my favorites.

Best single scene in 24 history, bar none. 1 agent sacrifices his life to another, total gansta style ... the conviction required by each to premeditate and carry that out was never matched... and I've said it before ... sacrifice is NOT understood or appreciated in today's society so I doubt many even remember it as anything "special".

Yeah it wasn't my favorite, but it was an intense scene, and that's why it got the silent clock. But, I was glad he was dead and I was glad Jack was the one to do it. That guy was just about the most annoying character the show has ever seen and it was only until a few episodes before (probably around the time the writers decided he was gonna die) that he started to become likable, but it wasn't enough to make me miss him.


Does anyone ever feel like the clock is a little emotive sometimes, even when it's not silent? Like last night it just jumped right in at the end of the episode when it seemed like it was going to be silent but I could feel the beeps saying "time is still winding down, let's keep movin', forget that stupid ho."

Wow, what an episode. Before I forget: '24' recap: Ding dong, the witch is dead! [cnn.com]

After Jack shot Dana/Jenny (twice at that), I presumed he killed her. But I also have this nagging feeling that he only shot her like he did Renee, to make it seem like she's dead. However, in this case, Jack shot Dana to neutralize her. And maybe the 2nd shot was in the leg so that she couldn't run away? I'm 99% sure she's dead, but not completely convinced.

Also, why did Dana give her trump card to Jack so easily? She's a grand manipulator. It didn't make sense. She could've told him, "I stashed it securely while fleeing the bank" and then lead Jack on a wild goose chase hoping that he gets caught by the cops and that she could abscond.

I got the feeling Dana still had feelings for Cole. Speaking of him, like a couple of you said, Cole was an idiot for freezing up when he opened the box and heard the device beeping. That was pretty smart of Dana to plan that in the event that she was forcibly brought to the bank to give the evidence.

We get to see Hassan's blonde bimbo back next week! FOX basically traded off 1 for the other (assuming Dana is dead). Whee laugh out loud

And that'll be great when Jack tortures the dude who killed his main squeeze. nod

4 more episodes left!
